"Where Sound Lives"
Pharrell Williams presented his Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection for Louis Vuitton at Paris Fashion Week, marking his third showcase as the brand's men’s creative director. The event, held outdoors near the UNESCO headquarters, attracted a diverse crowd that included fashion industry figures, celebrities, and public attendees.
The show featured a collection that blended Western-inspired motifs with a futuristic aesthetic. Models walked the runway in garments adorned with metallic details, embroidered denim, cowboy hats, and boots, highlighting themes of Americana fused with high fashion. Elements like monogrammed accessories, oversized silhouettes, and a mix of streetwear and tailored pieces underscored Williams’ ongoing influence on the house’s evolving menswear identity.
The musical score, curated by Williams, included original compositions and highlighted his continued integration of music and fashion. His approach reinforced Louis Vuitton’s strategy of leveraging celebrity-driven creativity to reach broader audiences, especially younger consumers.
This latest collection continues the trend of luxury fashion brands positioning their runway shows as global spectacles, with an emphasis on cultural relevance, artistic presentation, and viral potential.
