While the official start of summer is just days away, Hermes is already taking us into fall in the most dramatic way. On Thursday night, the Parisian fashion house took over New York City's Pier 36 to debut the second chapter of its Fall 2024 show, coined as Resort 2025. As huge yellow lights hung over the runway and a Hermes "Manhattan Rocabar" cocktail bar, Artistic Director Nadège Vanhée created an urban oasis that beautifully married the multifaceted culture of New York City and the high-end appeal of Paris.
As guests entered the show space, the phrase "Do you like my accent? I'm French," boomed over the speakers accompanied by a distinct beat. After settling in, attendees were catapulted into show mode with Anok Yai hitting the runway in a colorful yet sophisticated ensemble featuring a blue, textured mock-neck top layered under a printed shirt styled with scarlet pants, a mustard yellow trench with brown leather sleeves and collar, dark brown ankle boots and a tan handbag. Her accessories included a black leather hat and the brand's classic belt, depicting 70s Parisian flair at its finest.
