Earlier this week in Paris, Louis Vuitton presented Pharrell’s latest collection for LV Men’s Spring 2026. Like his past collections, it intertwines the themes of travel, community, and dandyism. This season, playing on the Maison’s storied roots in travel, Pharrell takes us on a figurative trip to India, and its influences are felt throughout.
A Playful Set With Deep Cultural Roots
The show’s set, a life-sized game of Snakes and Ladders, was designed by architect Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai. Immersive and playful, it was the first hint at the collection’s influences, as the game originated in ancient India. Elsewhere, its influencers were felt in a stunning color palette that reflected the distinct shades of India’s cityscapes and the country’s vast nature.
A dark brown denim wash inspired by the color of coffee beans appears on workwear-inspired staples juxtaposed with soft tailoring, layered with unexpected pieces like shorts and shell jackets inspired by India’s mountaineering culture.
The Return of the Speedy: Pharrell’s Iconic Reboot
As for the bags, Pharrell has single-handedly brought the Speedy back, and this collection proves that it is here to stay. This season, the Speedy P9 is given new life, painted with stripes, dressed in bold Monogram embroidery, emblazoned with gold-threaded Monogram, and more.
An homage to the spirit of travel interwoven throughout Pharrell’s collections, a variety of trunks are shown on the runway, utilizing a motif created in 2006 by Marc Jacobs for the film The Darjeeling Limited. The animal print appears throughout the collection on trunks and bags. View bags from the collection below.
The LV men collection is eating the women’s collection I fear! Some of these bags were actually so beautiful! Great job. I particularly like the striped speedys and will be quick to say they remind me of vintage Fendis.
The Louis Vuitton Men’s collection of bags were actually so beautiful! Great job. I particularly like the striped speedy
Yes, I also would carry it!
Please… enough with the celebrity “designers.” Bring back designers with actual talent!!
This is talent. It may be beyond your scope but Mr. Williams is unquestionably talented.
Nah… it’s the talent of long time LV teams who pick up the slack for these celebrity “designers.”
None of the men I know would be interested in these bags (even the ones who like and own LV products). But these are no doubt aimed at a different demographic 😊
I agree with the men part, but I have to say I’d carry some of these!
Same!
there’s like 50 ppl in his studio. it’s not as though he draws up the collections by himself. also, besides the row and victoria beckham I can’t really think of other celeb designers rn. who did you have in mind?
Pharrell has been very good for LV Men’s.
Agreed!!
Definitely better than gimmicky and tacky Virgil Abloh but still nowhere as good as Kim Jones.
This was a interesting launch. The striped speedy is giving Fendi vibes. There’s a long handle speedy that resembles the papillon. Most of my bags are purchased from the mens and I’m not liking anything from the women’s handbag collection. The Olsen twins started a retail launch, Rhianna, which are successful. Why the negativity towards Pharrell?
I never understood why Pharrell gets so much hate. The argument is always because he’s a celebrity and ‘has nothing to do with fashion.’ If you don’t like his fashion, you don’t like his fashion, but at least do your research. He opened the Billionaire Boys Club line with Nigo in 2003 and has worked with Louis Vuitton before his tenure with them when he created the Millionaire sunglasses.
I agree. It seems that we love to put others in boxes and keep them there… If you’re good at X you’re not allowed to also be good at Y. I find his style impeccable and very much enjoy this collection.
The collection is beautiful.
I agree!
I just watched the show and really enjoyed the clothes, bags, and trunks. The jackets were amazing, and I could go for a few of the bags.
Baggy clothing on emaciated male models is not appealing or attractive. The bags are cute.
The 1900s are calling you back, that look’s been around awhile now
There are some nice pieces.
From the clothing to the bags, I want it all. Once again Farrell hit it out of the park. The LV briefcase is AWESOME. Fantastic collection.
Wow he put little trees on a classic piece of LV hardsided luggage. He must be a gEniUs.
I would buy most of those bags.
The smaller speedy 😍 & the stripes pattern reminded me of a Fendi bag.
