GRACE WALES BONNER IS THE NEW CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF HERMÈS MENSWEAR
A monumental move in menswear, Grace Wales Bonner has officially been named Creative Director of Hermès Menswear, succeeding Véronique Nichanian after 37 years
Known for her impeccable tailoring and cultural depth, the South London–born designer (of Jamaican and English heritage) has long redefined modern masculinity through intellect, heritage, and precision.
A Central Saint Martins alum and founder of her own namesake label, her vision has dressed icons like Lewis Hamilton among others. Most recently at the 2025 Met Gala, where she merged Black dandyism, cultural symbolism, and refined craftsmanship in some unforgettable looks.
From the LVMH Prize to British Menswear Designer of the Year, Grace’s rise has been nothing short of poetic. With Hermès, she steps into a new chapter where heritage will meet modernity and menswear will find new rhythm. She is also paving a way in the industry for black women in the business of fashion and creation
