LOUIS VUITTON FALL-WINTER 2025 MEN’S PRE-COLLECTION
words NIA TOPALOVA
Pharrell Williams’ Pre-Fall 2025 Menswear Collection for Louis Vuitton is designed for the modern traveler who stays true to the roots of the House’s dandy dressing codes, embarking on a cruise from Paris to Miami. The collection brings us back to the LVERS philosophy at the heart of the Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme.
The collection is divided into two chapters - the transit wardrobe / the voyage, and the arrival wardrobe / the destination. For the transit wardrobe, a Monogram Regatta print is created out of a pattern of tiny boats. Marine influences echo through striped knits, sailing jackets, and Jazz Age-inspired three-piece suits in sunset tones and plush textures. Moiré effects are modernised in jacquard, denim, and cotton-linen, while technical pieces in Alcantara add a romantic touch.
For the arrival wardrobe, Miami’s pastel palette transforms lounge and swimwear into daywear. French terry, silk bowling sets, and Monogram Glow pyjamas express quiet elegance. Stripes and jacquards define oversized shirts and matching sets. Raffia emerges in natural-toned jackets and embroidered sheer tops.
Exceptional pieces include a dolphin-shaped bag and crystal-embroidered Speedy, alongside playful designs like a boccia bag and champagne cooler. Accessories mix perfectly well sailor style with beach nostalgia: berets, pearl-buttoned caps, towel socks, and silk scarves. Sunglasses evolve into nautically styled shapes, with rimless squares, oval frames, and acetate models in gold and tortoise finishes, each pair marked by bold silhouettes or vintage flair. Loafers, mules, sandals, and suede football boots showcase raffia, glazed leather, and Monogram motifs. The hotel-inspired LV Traveller slipper offers ultimate comfort in classic and suede finishes.
