0:00initial collage display
The scene opens in a vertical video format, presenting a dynamic, textured background composed of abstract reddish-brown and orange organic patterns or brushstrokes, giving a distressed, paper-like feel. Superimposed on this vibrant background are two cut-out figures of male models, framed with a thin white outline, appearing as if lifted from a magazine. The model on the left is a Black man, visible from the chest up, wearing a light brown cardigan with dark geometric patterns over a white collared shirt. The prominent central figure is a lighter-skinned man, shown full-body, walking forward, dressed in a dark grey or black double-breasted suit with a matching dark button-up shirt. In the top left corner, the clean white 'Hermès Paris' logo is displayed. White text on the left side announces: 'Men's winter 2026 runway show', 'Presented on Saturday, January 24, 2026', and '#HermesHomme'. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the collage elements and text against the rich, warm background.
0:00animated collage with walking model
The scene maintains a vertical video format, transitioning into a dynamic animated collage. The background continuously shifts, featuring various abstract shapes, close-ups of textures, and fragmented fashion photography images in a palette ranging from light grey and white to black, yellow, and brown. These elements appear to be constantly moving and layering, creating a rich, albeit somewhat frenetic, backdrop. Throughout this animated sequence, the cut-out figure of the lighter-skinned man in the dark grey/black suit remains the central focus. He consistently walks forward, appearing to move down a runway, getting subtly larger in the frame as if approaching the viewer. His figure is sharply defined by a thin white outline, reinforcing the cut-out aesthetic. The 'Hermès Paris' logo persists in the top left, and the white descriptive text about the 'Men's winter 2026 runway show' and '#HermesHomme' stays on the left, sometimes overlapping with the changing background elements. The overall impression is a vibrant, artistic deconstruction of fashion imagery.
0:03model profile close up
The scene shifts to a tight close-up, focusing on the profile of the lighter-skinned male model. His head and the upper portion of his shoulders fill the frame, turned to face the right. His dark, neatly styled hair frames his face, and he wears the dark grey/black collared shirt. The background is a soft, light grey, almost white, with a subtle grainy texture, suggesting a blank canvas or a simplified collage element. There's a faint, almost imperceptible hint of other abstract shapes in the background, out of focus. The distinctive thin white outline that defines his cut-out form is still clearly visible around his head and shoulders. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the clean lines of his profile and the delicate features of his face. His expression is neutral, almost contemplative, with a slight pout to his lips, giving him an air of quiet intensity.
0:05model face close up gaze right
This scene maintains a close-up on the lighter-skinned male model, but his face is now angled slightly more towards the viewer than in the previous profile, though his eyes remain directed towards the upper right side of the frame. His head occupies a significant portion of the frame, from just above his forehead down to his upper chest. His dark, neatly styled hair frames his face, and he is wearing the dark grey/black collared shirt, with a hint of a jacket lapel visible. The background is a consistent soft, light grey with minimal texture, continuing the clean, understated collage aesthetic. The lighting remains soft and diffused, casting subtle shadows that define his facial contours without harshness. His gaze is intense and distant, suggesting a contemplative or focused mood. The faint white outline from the cut-out effect is still visible around his figure.
