From the mind of Pharrell Williams comes the new Fall-Winter 2025 Men’s Pre-Collection for Louis Vuitton, which blends the timeless elegance of Paris with the vibrancy of Miami. Inspired by the golden age of transatlantic travel and Miami’s famed resort culture, Williams’ collection reimagines dandy style for a modern audience—celebrating leisure, sophistication, and the spirit of exploration.
The collection unfolds in two chapters: Transit and Arrival. The Transit wardrobe pays homage to cruise-liner dress codes, offering a mix of tailored three-piece suits and relaxed loungewear in sunset hues and plush fabrics reminiscent of ship interiors. Nautical influences are given a nod through Monogram Regatta prints, collarless sailing jackets, and striped knitwear. Louis Vuitton breathes new life into a Jazz Age silhouette with contemporary volume, while the use of fabrics like moiré jacquard and Alcantara elevate sporty pieces like driving jackets and windbreakers.
The Arrival chapter transitions to Miami’s pastel-painted beaches, merging poolside aesthetics with everyday wear. Pyjama suits, silk bowling sets, and striped shirts blur the lines between day and loungewear. Raffia detailing, vibrant Monogram Glow motifs, and breezy fabrics like terry toweling reflect the carefree energy of Miami’s resort life.
Accessories and leather goods expand on the cruise theme, with bags adorned in naval-inspired motifs, raffia accents, and aged tan trims. Highlights include a whimsical—and incredibly cute—dolphin-shaped bag, as well as a champagne cooler crafted in white crockery. Jewelry and sunglasses incorporate nautical elements like ship ropes, sailor-inspired chains, and retro silhouettes.
Pharrell’s vision masterfully bridges Parisian refinement and Miami’s laid-back charm, creating a versatile wardrobe for the modern globetrotter. From the tailored opulence of the voyage to the pastel leisure of the destination, the collection captures the romance of travel and the evolving codes of contemporary menswear.
