Birkin bag maker Hermes has named Grace Wales Bonner as its menswear creative director, replacing veteran Veronique Nichanian, who spent nearly four decades at the brand.

Wales Bonner, who will show her first collection for the brand in January 2027, is part of a new generation taking the creative reins of some of the biggest names in fashion, including Chanel, LVMH-owned Dior and Kering's Gucci.
