They dusted off some of the patterns he left behind.

Cause that's what I'm getting !

….. this show was so bad my eyelid was twitching the whole time and I had to take the emergency pack of cigarettes out. Someone needs to book a day of eye tests at LVMH hq

LV Homme has been hot wild trash for decades at this point. Virgil was their lowest ever with Kim Jones only lessening the blow.

P x LV is the best LV Homme has ever been in terms of actually producing a wearable creative vision.

After a second view, I don't even like the first looks . The fit is clumsy and the shoes are ugly. I prefer the black outfits near the end.

I like the crocodile jackets, the black one and the one with a denim effect at the beginning.

I like the sunglasses.

I like a lot two looks, but one reminds me of Carhartt, the other one reminds me of Slimane Dior Homme.

Interesting that the leopard print and the floral camos are reinterpretations of the logo - still I don't like them.

Surprisingly, I don't like the bags.


Thanks Vogue28 for uploading the pictures, it allows to go into detail.

Another logo collection with some clothes in it. Instead of trunks, they have to release a logo collection of coffins (because they are cheapening the image brand to death and beyond).

Also...there are parts of it which make me think if "Hello Kitty" was in the mood board, or as an undercover collab; or if Sanrio was directly designing this...for adult men (presumably).

Will this "brand" ever get an actual designer who actually loves menswear?

Milan's menswear is sooo much better (with the exception of Prada). This is Collegiate Tommy Hilfiger but so badly tailored

 

[FashionFanatico]

two middle aged manchildren sell their clothes to the next generation of manchildren. makes sense.

Are those Flatbed Trolleys part of the collection and for sale like those Chanel supermarket baskets?

Definitively the weakest offering so far but men's LV is all about bags and Speedy P9 is just obscenely popular and already iconic. My friend has one in green and the quality is top notch. He is there to create "it bags" for men, the rest is just decorum.

It is a trunk show, not so much of a seasonal collection.
I think there was no theme, just pieces and familiar silhouettes styled together to make a collection.

I will give it to Pharrell, he has his « LV Silhouette »: straight jacket with wide legged pants. I actually think that this season, he has mastered his silhouette as it looks less unfortunate on those men’s bodies.

From a fashion POV, this collection has nothing more to offer than consumerism but that’s also good for Vuitton because there’s an indéniable merchandising appeal to those clothes and bags.

A lot of those individual pieces will pop in stores. And I think the simpler pieces also works. The velvet tracksuit, the simple wool car coat, the alligator bomber, the red and cognac bomber.
I see a lot of pieces that can work on a different context than the one illustrated by the show. If some men are imaginative, they can find something for themselves.

I can see the cognac and red bomber styled in a Hedi Slimane way for example.

Overall, I don’t think there’s much to talk about with Vuitton by Pharrell. It’s retail gold and that’s it. And I also think that the weakness of Gucci benefits Vuitton. When I look at Ancora collections, I find it really hard to imagine people wearing them…And it’s the case. A lot of brand ambassadors in Gucci but I actually see people IRL in Vuitton by Pharrell.
