Pharrell Williams Guidecases Louis Vuitton's Male Fashion Journey to Miami
Louis Vuitton Unveils Its Pre-Fall 2025 Collection
A fusion of Parisian tailoring and Miami beachwear sets the stage for the Pre-Fall 2025 collection from luxury house Louis Vuitton
Pharrell Williams' influence is evident in the menswear campaign for Louis Vuitton's Pre-Fall 2025 collection. Inspired by the journey from sea to shore, the line offers a modern take on vacation style. Rosie Marks' photographs and Grégoire Dyer's films track a contemporary traveler's transitions, from yacht to sports car, pool to beach, while maintaining impeccable tailoring throughout.
The collection embarks on a voyage from Paris to Miami, paying homage to grand ocean liners and early-era Miami Beach glamour. The signature Louis Vuitton's dandy code is filtered through Williams' LVERS community, forging a unified identity along the route.
Nautical and resort aesthetics form the backbone of the collection, with sunset-inspired colors prevalent. A miniature boat print-Monogram Regatta-leads on a nylon windbreaker and chambray shorts; collarless sailing jackets, striped knits, and shirts complete the seafaring ensemble. Jazz-age three-piece suits expand in volume, while shawl-collared dinner jackets and peignoir coats move into daylight. Moiré weaves appear as jacquard outerwear, denim, or cotton-linen; Alcantara softens technical macs. Monogram switches texture, appearing in embossed leather, flocked denim, full-crystal knit, and art nouveau graphics.
Upon landing, pastel hues dominate Miami-inspired lounge pieces that seamlessly merge into daywear. A sage terry coat cut like a robe bears a jacquard hotel emblem; strawberry-pink track sets, aqua silk bowling shirts, and pyjama suits in magenta or khaki adopt Monogram Glow contrasts. Oversized striped shirts accompany matching trousers, shorts, and swim shorts, while raffia threads through a collar-less jacket, washed-black chambray, and even a sheer Damier-embroidered tee.
Famous travel icons reappear as luggage in the collection. Monogram Heritage canvas, trimmed with aged-tan VVT sfumato, forms ruched Marina Totes, metal-edged Bobo Trunks, and Coffee Trunks. Damier Denim 3D appears on Montsouris Cargo backpacks and Nevereverfulls, while vivid Monogram Glow combinations-light grey and yellow, cement and pink, azure and red-update messengers and slings. Miami Jacquard tapestry sketches coastal scenes, woven-leather Monogram Cruising adds Squeeze and Steamer trunks, and raffia Beach Shoppers accompany special pieces, from a crystal-set suede Speedy to a wicker Keepall 25 and a dolphin-shaped mini bag.
Accessories echo the deck's aesthetic, with rope-trim sailor berets, pearl-button denim caps, terry socks, and heat-molded bucket hats sharing space with paisley or Monogram silk squares. Silver-plated chains mirror ship ropes, and coffee-bean necklaces expand into inflated LV logos. Eyewear adheres to the theme, featuring rimless LV Super Vision frames, oval or square LV Pure Low styles, striped-temple LV Slide Square options, and larger acetate shapes for handling sun and sea glare. Footwear encompasses black glazed-leather LV Scala loafers-some with raffia vamps-Runaway Maxi trainers, raffia LV Easy mules, LV Major loafers, faded-suede LV Footprint football boots, shiny LV Venice sandals, and hotel-inspired LV Traveller slippers.
The Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2025 Collection merges classic tailoring with resortwear, offering a luxurious vacation aesthetic. The collection's pre-access has already been launched globally, marking Louis Vuitton's creative vision and craftsmanship.
