The Louis Vuitton menswear show presented by Pharrell Williams and Nigo at Paris Fashion Week marked a turning point in the evolution of streetwear towards a more mature and sophisticated refinement. In a monumental mirror box set up in front of the Louvre pyramid, the duo unveiled a collection rich in historical and personal references, mixing the codes of streetwear with those of dandyism . The circular decor reminiscent of an archive chest highlighted their vision: reinterpreting the past to imagine the future. The silhouettes combined luxurious textures and elaborate details, like jackets in crocodile leather embossed to imitate denim or flared black suits decorated with sculpted flower buttons. The essential varsity jackets were revisited with innovative elements, like sleeves in natural undyed leather, intended to develop a patina over time. The iconic camouflage of their past labels, Billionaire Boys Club and BAPE, has been transformed into hybrid leopard and floral patterns, sometimes hand-embroidered with sequins and beads.

True to their 2000s aesthetic, baggy low-rise pants and monogrammed pieces dominated, while bold accessories, like bags adorned with silhouettes by both designers or branded “Pont Neuf” and “Since 1854,” paid homage to Louis Vuitton’s Parisian heritage. A true ode to collaboration and the archive, the show not only cemented Louis Vuitton ’s place at the pinnacle of luxury streetwear, but also celebrated the intimate and visionary bond between Pharrell Williams and Nigo.
