Earlier this week in Paris, Pharrell Williams presented his Spring 2027 collection for Louis Vuitton, and from the moment guests stepped onto the set, it was clear they were in for a ride—on a big wave. The show’s runway emerged from a massive wave, complete with real running water and a sandy floor, a clear ode to the collection’s surf-inspired theme.
This season continues Pharrell’s exploration of the Maison’s travel roots, this time with coastal influences woven throughout. Show notes pay homage to the surfing community and the way it transcends culture and creed, uniquely bringing together people from all walks of life through a shared love of surfing.
Where Dandyism Meets Surf Culture
This sense of community remains at the forefront of Pharrell Williams’ inspiration for Louis Vuitton menswear, as does his personal connection to dandyism. And while, at first glance, dandyism and surf culture couldn’t seem more different, if anyone can seamlessly marry the two, it would be Pharrell.
Ready-to-wear combines technical know-how with sharp tailoring, while workwear elements take on a more relaxed feel through coastal references woven throughout the collection. Wetsuits give way to hand-spun textures in sun-drenched hues, while seascape embellishments add a more literal touch and bold graphics nod to the surfer archetype.
The Bags: Speedys, Shells, and Statement Pieces
As for the bags, this collection was full of them, and collectors will delight in limited-edition must-haves like a shell-shaped bag or an ultra-embellished Speedy. Speaking of the Speedy, Pharrell continues to prove that the iconic silhouette is the perfect blank canvas for reinvention.
Continuing Pharrell’s appreciation for the Maison’s heritage, the runway also featured a series of trunks, including Miroir Monogram styles, one painted with a seaside motif, among others. Embroideries on Monogram pieces add a tactile touch, while muted pastels are applied to Epi leather and other signature materials.

What is this silly trend of gripping bags rather than holding them by the handles. Is it meant to look ? Just looks uncomfortable and pretentious,. Why don’t they just abo,ish thevhandles altogether if they’re so passe?
Agreed and thank you for mentioning it! I find myself so distracted by the silliness of it I miss the bags altogether. And then I’m annoyed they’re not just presenting the merch in a way we’d actually carry it. And then they lose me.
And anyone carrying them in real life would be capnip to bag snatchers.
I‘m here for all the Speedys 🩷
So feminine to me 🤮
God forbid
The Alma (?) in the final picture is now on my wish list!! 😍
Their Trunks, LOVE LOVE IT
I’ll take a Keepall and any of the painted trunks. Loved the jackets and trench coats as well.
The beaded pink speedy that looks like coral!! And the shell!! Ded!!
