Pharrell Williams, Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Creative Director, unveiled his much-anticipated Spring/Summer 2026 collection on Tuesday in a vibrant, high-energy runway show at Paris’ iconic Pompidou Centre. This marks his fourth collection for the fashion house since taking the creative reins in 2023.
The show merged high fashion with playful nostalgia, featuring models striding along a life-sized Snakes and Ladders board runway while pushing carts laden with Louis Vuitton’s signature steamer trunks. The runway was further animated by a rich display of handbags, duffels, and reimagined travel essentials—emblems of the house’s storied craftsmanship.
The collection spotlighted a blend of contemporary elegance and streetwear flair. Tailored suit jackets were paired with boxy wool shorts and styled with over-the-calf socks, offering a sharp contrast between formality and relaxed urban edge. The color palette remained distinctly Parisian—monochrome layers punctuated by bold, structured accessories.
Global superstars including Beyoncé and Jay Z, actor Bradley Cooper, and rapper Pusha T were in attendance, reinforcing the crossover appeal of Williams’ vision between luxury fashion and pop culture.
Pharrell Williams, who first collaborated with Louis Vuitton in 2004, has brought fresh energy to the French fashion house. Since his official appointment in 2023, the multi-hyphenate artist has continued to defy conventional fashion boundaries, infusing his work with the same creativity that made him a household name in music.
Under the umbrella of LVMH the world’s largest luxury group Louis Vuitton remains the crown jewel. In 2024, LVMH posted record revenues of €84.7 billion, with Louis Vuitton’s Fashion & Leather Goods division continuing to dominate global luxury retail.
Valued at approximately $455 billion and with over 6,300 stores worldwide, Louis Vuitton remains the world’s most powerful luxury brand. Even amid slight sales fluctuations, its cultural footprint and influence in fashion remain unrivaled.
Pharrell’s latest collection confirms that Louis Vuitton’s legacy is in no danger of slowing down if anything, it’s stepping confidently into the future, one bold look at a time.
