“It is a dream realised to embark on this new chapter.”
British designer Grace Wales Bonner has been named as the new creative director of menswear for French fashion house Hermès.
The appointment makes the 35-year-old the first black woman to lead design at a major fashion house, according to the New York Times.
With her namesake brand, Wales Bonner dressed F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, musician FKA Twigs, and actor Jeff Goldblum for this year’s Met Gala and has made T-shirts with musician Solange Knowles.
She has had a long-standing collaboration with Adidas and was made a MBE in 2022 for services to fashion.
