Louis Vuitton Menswear Pre-Fall 2025 Paris

[Deleted member 170196]

Kind of obsessed with how many weird choices they made on this Cos-looking car coat. The huge collar with the tiny button? The low neckline? The large welt pocket against the tiny cuff straps? The slim(ish) sleeves with a dropped shoulder and a not wide and not slim but just king of boxy(ish) shape of the body?

It’s still more desirable than Ancora.
The bags are great.

Thats not so hard to achieve

I feel like pre-season collections kinda don't count.
They are a placeholder to keep revenue coming in my mind.

And with that said, the collection didn't move me or disturb me. So I guess it was okay.

Look, if I had the money, alot of it would be in my wardrobe. Its nice enough. But yeah its very bland.

It's such a fashion fallacy that French men, just like gay men-- more so in this era, possess any style LOL

The cut of this jacket and shade of blue is rather classically gorgeous and so eternally flattering to a man’s form-- although I'd prefer a lapel to be included. And the construction from Vuitton has always been solid, even supreme— even if the brand is now surrounded with a strong whiff of nouveau-riche trash. So unfortunate that it’s in the Damier print— and designed for men in an arrested development of juvenile taste and only desperate to flex merch. (…I’m convinced that even logo-obsessed 12yo me wouldn’t be so gaudy as to covet a jacket that’s got the same print as a bag. That there are adult men that would buy this and be convinced it's the height of style is just hilarious and pathetic.)

While the Damier print is polarizing, dismissing the jacket misses its design philosophy. The baseball-jacket lapel construction and patch pockets deliberately push it into technical/sportswear territory - it's LV's elevated take on athleisure, not traditional suiting. The clean shoulders and precise cut maintain sophistication while the details reference streetwear. Whether the execution succeeds is debatable, but reducing it to "flex merch" overlooks its attempt to bridge formal and casual menswear. The print remains questionable, but the silhouette shows genuine design innovation.

this is a great take. I initially reduced this to hypebeast merch. when you put it this way, the damier is unnecessary and redundant and distracts from actual design innovation, hybridization. So, somewhere, there are talented designers presenting initial ideas and then merchandising steps in with fabric input and you get this result. Also, shorts are better received when they aren't on pencil thin, pale legs. It's actually comforting to see Lebron in some of this stuff if only b/c he has muscles and melanin.
