Pharrell loosens up Louis Vuitton for spring/summer 2026

LOUIS VUITTON MENSWEAR UNDER PHARRELL WILLIAMS, keeps walking to the beat of its own drum. For spring/summer 2026, that rhythm shifted into something softer, more sun-drenched, and a little more poetic a collection inspired by Indian craftsmanship, colour and spirit, staged against a dreamy snakes and ladders-style set outside the Centre Pompidou.

The silhouettes were clean, the styling effortless. Tailoring came softened, often layered – jackets, waistcoats and trousers in tones of purple, cream, and rust, gently mismatched with stripes and checks that felt almost faded.

There were brown-washed denim sets, metallic-woven shells, and sheer suiting with a lived-in, dandyish ease. You got the sense these clothes weren’t designed to be fussed over – they were made to move in and maybe catch the light in passing.

Accessories, as always, were dialled all the way up. Damier came puffed, pixelated, or lacquered. The Darjeeling Limited motif – first created by Vuitton for the film in 2007 – reappeared across holdalls, jackets and carry-alls, adding a nostalgic touch to a collection already steeped in travel energy.

And the Speedy P9? Pharrell’s now-iconic bag showed up in every possible iteration: faded pastel ostrich, deep blue crocodile, beaded scarf print, and even a tree-of-life carpet weave.

Jewellery was just as much a flex – gold chokers, ankle bangles, and rings set with semi-precious stones. Hiking socks were beaded. A shell suit was woven entirely from metal yarn. Even the sunglasses looked slightly sunburnt, with frameless tops and lenses that faded at the edges.

This wasn’t about big fashion moments. It was Pharrell doing what he does best – blending cultures, textures and tones until the seams disappear. There was ease, clarity, and just enough sparkle to keep things playful.

No major theatrics. Just great styling, great energy, and a reminder that when fashion is rooted in feeling, it doesn’t have to shout.
