Pharrell Channels the World for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2025 Men’s Collection
The brand wants you to remember: the world is yours.
With the Paris Olympics fast approaching, it’s only fitting for sportswear influences to make their mark in the Spring/Summer 2025 collections. Last night, Louis Vuitton kick-started Paris Men’s Fashion Week with an energised show. Instead of focusing solely on the sports event, creative director Pharrell took inspiration from it, and looked from the outside in, celebrating the humans who co-inhabit the Earth.
Held at La Maison de l’UNESCO, the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, the venue — constructed in the name of uniting humanity in world peace through culture — served as a symbolic ground for the show. The collection, rendered in the colours of human skin tones, showcases “the relationship between macro and micro views of humanity: a diverse species made of the same flesh and blood,” states the show notes. A series of all-black looks ignited the lineup, highlighting the patterns and textures, including the Snake-o-Flage and Map-o-flage motifs that reference the spliced Damier-and-camouflage print.
The bags are undoubtedly one of the main highlights, as iconic silhouettes such as the Alma, the Christopher, and the Neverfull are reintroduced in supple leather and covered in a slightly larger Monogram. That’s not all. The Danube, the Nile, the Amazon, and the Bastille also made appearances, alongside a Keepall that’s fully emblazoned in rhinestones. The vibrant Speedy P9 now comes in pastel shades — “faded fluorescent colours as if blanched by the sun,” as described by the Maison.
Rounding up the collection are the travel-ready bags. Noteworthy designs include the Silhouette bags imprinted with skin-like outlines of luggage tags, buckles, and straps, as well as the new Horizon Aluminum suitcase that has levelled up in design. Trunk-wise, there’s the Courrier Lozine, which comes in a striking red hue with embossed Monogram. Now the only question remains: would you like to travel the world?
