Yesterday’s street style outside the Celine and Hermès shows became a true showcase of masterful work with textures, prints and layering — seemingly mismatched pieces came together to create expressive and thoughtfully considered looks.

The street style featured checks paired with lace, fur with stripes, and animal motifs with floral prints.

Some looks were built around contrasting textures, while others focused on combining complementary shades and details to create a cohesive overall composition.

Flowers emerged as a distinct fashion accent that day. They appeared not only as prints but also as three-dimensional elements, adding a sense of visual impact and a subtle romantic touch to the looks.

One particularly striking look drew inspiration from a painting by Vincent van Gogh. The styling was yet another reminder of the close relationship between art and fashion — from direct references to the reinterpretation of colours, motifs and moods.

The warm weather allowed guests to experiment with layering, volume and sheer textures, creating complex stylings without making them feel overwhelming.

That day, layering became not only a practical solution but also a way to express individual style.

Airmail has published an investigative report detailing how Hermès heir Nicolas Puech and other wealthy individuals lost their fortunes to financier Eric Freymond.

In 1998, Nicolas Puech — a fifth-generation descendant of Hermès founder Thierry Hermès — entrusted the management of all his shares and investments to financier Eric Freymond. According to Puech, his family had full confidence in the asset manager, which is why he paid little attention for years to what was happening to his multibillion-dollar fortune.

However, in 2022, it suddenly emerged that one of the Forbes-listed billionaires, Nicolas Puech, had virtually no money or shares left in his accounts. The 83-year-old heir, who never started a family, had intended to reward his gardener by bequeathing him part of his $13 billion fortune — but was ultimately unable to do so.

Subsequent investigations revealed that, instead of managing his client’s assets, Eric Freymond had been systematically selling them off over the years. As it turned out, Puech was not his only victim. Swiss actress Ursula Andress had entrusted the financier with $25 million — only to be left with nothing as well.

When Freymond realized that his scheme had been uncovered, he took his own life. After his death, it emerged that he had always dreamed of becoming immensely wealthy, and in pursuit of that ambition married into an influential Geneva family, wedding Caroline van Berchem. According to the publication’s sources, it was members of the van Berchem family who introduced Freymond to the Hermès circle.

It is worth recalling that in 2014, under pressure from other family members, Nicolas Puech stepped down from the supervisory board of Hermès — the fashion house renowned for its exceptional leather goods, including the iconic Birkin bags, coveted by fashion enthusiasts worldwide. At the time, Puech opposed the potential takeover of the brand by the LVMH group and left the company, retaining a 5% stake — shares that were later sold off by Freymond.

The fashion house Hermès unveiled its new women’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, presented by creative director Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski in the atmosphere of a fairy-tale forest bathed in cool blue twilight. The runway was transformed into a kind of liminal space between day and night, where an urban heroine sets off in search of northern adventures.

At the heart of the collection lies the brand’s signature jockey-inspired aesthetic. The runway featured fitted riding breeches – including leather versions that seamlessly extended into tall riding boots – alongside jumpsuits, mini dresses, and skirts with strategically placed zippers. These details not only reshaped the silhouette but also added a sense of practicality and functionality to the looks.

The designer also reinterpreted classic wardrobe staples: tailored redingote jackets, polo shirts, and sweaters with rolled-up sleeves. Motorcycle jackets were elongated and transformed into coats, while leather dresses and biker jackets were enriched with numerous pockets. Bolder accents included leather biker shorts, bomber jackets with utilitarian details, and quilted skirts in a deep, blood-red hue.

The color palette echoed the set design of the show: moving from deep black to earthy browns, mossy greens, and bright yellow accents. In some looks, shades of iris, ochre, and aubergine appeared, further enhancing the twilight atmosphere.

The looks were completed with Kelly belts adorned with chains, fur hats, and tall boots that in the new season almost resemble tights. The runway also showcased updated versions of the house’s iconic bags – Birkin, Kelly, Garden Party, Picotin, and Bolide – which became an integral part of the show’s mystical aesthetic.

Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski’s collections for Hermès continue to exemplify stability and craftsmanship: the designer skillfully works with leather, the brand’s archival codes, and contemporary functional tailoring, maintaining a delicate balance between heritage and modern relevance.
