A Spring/Summer Capsule Inspired by Hermès

Launchmetrics.com/spotlight

Last week, while curating my weekly fashion picks for Léonce’s Edit—that secret page I update every week (and which you can access by subscribing to the newsletter)—I stumbled upon so many beautiful pieces, all in the most stunning palette of warm, earthy tones: camel, burnt orange, deep beige, chocolate brown, soft wine (lighter and bluer than classic bordeaux), terracotta… Shades that evoke golden sun-warmed sand, the patina of worn leather, the scent of wood and spice, sunbaked red clay, and that golden evening light you only find in the South. It felt like catching a glimpse of Marrakech in these colors—hues that are organic, almost mineral: desert, earth, fire, and faraway journeys.

But more than anything, they instantly reminded me of Hermès’ Spring/Summer 2025 collection, which I absolutely adored. So of course, I had to create a capsule wardrobe inspired by these tones—to offer you a fresh dose of fashion inspiration and some new outfit ideas, a little different from what I shared in the nautical capsule (which you can revisit here).

And truth be told, I’ve already ordered a few pieces myself. There’s just something about these tones—so chic, so refined, yet grounded in their natural simplicity—that I can’t resist. So here it is. I hope this new capsule speaks to you… or, at the very least, inspires you :).
