Fashion just got interesting again. Hermès has officially appointed Grace Wales Bonner as the new Creative Director of Menswear, following Véronique Nichanian’s 37-year reign. This marks a new era for the French luxury house and, honestly, it’s about time.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins and founder of her eponymous label, Wales Bonner has long been praised for her fusion of Afro-Atlantic culture with refined tailoring. Her work has always balanced intellect, identity, and impeccable craftsmanship a natural fit for Hermès’ understated luxury.

She’s set to debut her first collection for the house in January 2027 (mark your calendars), and if her past collections are anything to go by, expect subtle storytelling, cultural depth, and perfectly cut silhouettes that make you think.

Hermès is clearly ready for a shift fresh energy, younger appeal, and a touch of soul. And honestly? We’re rooting for Grace.
