You can tell he's taking clues from Ghesquiere's womenswear, but he doesn't have any talent as a designer so it just reads as tedious pastiche.

The day LV launches a collection without a single LV logo, the World will end...

Also...those Hermès "inspired" bags...why???

They really look like something AI would come up with

some insanely creative stuff here. The water drop print making the monogram is genius and you can hardly tell its monogram. Nobody else is doing anything like this for men. First time a mens line is as complete as a womens line since Pharrell offers us endless bag and accessory options.

I think pharrell understands luxury better than NG.

It's the male equivalent of Dior by Maria Grazia.

Hoping this is sarcasm... it's a basic (and tacky!) trompe-l'oeil...

I do like lv's menswear but lets not get carried away. This is still more in the realm of hypebeasts than luxury.

They should organize an exhibition with all the LV attempts to replicate the Kelly and the Birkin.
I can see it at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, it is big enough:
Louis Vuitton: the Hermès years. 2010-2025.


As for "Pharrell's" proposition, it is another elevated Carhartt wardrobe approach where in the end you have a huge brew of indistinguishable pieces and you don't know if you are in 2023, 24 or 25.
It is not that the collection is bad, but it is already boring.

Pharrell’s collections are totally inoffensive in terms of design but the problem is that they aren’t consistent enough and they lacks a wow factor!
For me, Kim Jones matched the most with Nicolas.

Nicolas and Pharrell deals with the same issue: most people goes to Vuitton to buy Vuitton. Nicolas however has a fashion POV that can attract someone who doesn’t care about the brand (like me). Pharrell however is only betting on the cachet of the brand. So it works is not spécial enough…

That being said, about the Hermes thing. The Steamer was created around 1900 and the Haut a Courroies around 1890. The design was just very specific of the time. So they aren’t copying Hermes per say. It’s just that we associate the design and it variations with Hermes. It’s like the Alma and the Bolide. Very basic shapes. The bolide came before the Alma but the Alma became iconic for that shape.

lets be fair in regards to the steamer bag has been in LV since 1901 (laundry bag for train travel )
Goyard also as has a old steamer model from around same time

Many people don't know that The Alma in smaller size was resized by Coco Chanel´s request, as it was an travel big size bag first and she asked for a version in small for her and later they asked her if they could do it for the public as well.

Just like Birkin came from the HAC for Jane :-)

Bolide was special as it was the first ever bag with a zipper in the world and exclusive to Hermes (so i'm sure LV took inspo from Hermes back then because the bolde was on the world fair that time & was the place for the most new ideas to be showcased )

what is basic now was new then we have remember as well

i think 10 years was enough time for LV to take inspo for the steamer from the HAC its not unthinkable.

 

[Nimsay]

There is real wow factor here. The prints are gorgeous, and the trompe l’oeil is breathtaking.

This is easily the most exciting menswear line right now. The ideas feel fresh and truly original. I’ve never seen men’s clothing look like this.

If you’re not actively shopping designer menswear, you might not realize how rare this level of detail is. No one else is doing what Pharrell is doing.

And, no one is making men’s shirts in silk dupioni in 2025. I had to grab the one from SS25. The last time I saw one was from Stefano Pilati YSL in 2008.

P is experimenting with fabrics and finishes.

Fashion police alert!

Oh wait i forgot to add. LV Homme shoes are now the most comfortable shoes Ive ever worn. I would put them up there next to my Saucony and Brooks. The support in these new LV sneakers is unreal. I got the Trainer 2 that has discreet logo. When worn with flared pants all the logo is covered. Again - Pharrell really understands what men want. The only logo are the little Stars and Flowers that are discreet compared to the LV which is on the tongue and currently hidden.

I wore LV sneakers sight seeing today and I feel energized and its been 6 hours of walking around looking at art.

Considering the original Designer sneakers from the 00s were uncushioned - converse were more luxury. Finally a designer sneaker occupies an elite performance space. The original DH and YSL Pilati sneakers were worse than laceups.

I notice these things bc ive been buying designer since Dior Homme. LV Homme has so many innovations nobody else has done before again if youre not shopping designer you wouldnt notice.

LV Trainer has been around for a while (since 2019 I think), so credit should go to Virgil, right?
I found them too heavy years ago, I much prefer my Nike.

honestly designer sneakers are a bit underrated in terms of comforrt. idk i been wearing chanel sneakers and when i tried jordans or nike.. the comfort level isnt the same and i guess those are the in the same category of not really made for running or sports

Really? For me it’s the opposite. I can’t stand “designer” shoes. I “need” to wear them for work and they hurt my feet so bad. The Diors are the worst ones.

I’d take a pair of Adidas over anything else.

Also, I find designer sneakers very tacky in general. A LV sneaker is a nightmare. A Versace sneaker. A Prada sneaker with the logo. Even the ones from Celine give me Reggeaton singer vibes 😷

I actually think it’s the opposite. Designer shoes are designed more for shape than for comfort. Ive seen and tried many sneakers along the years and they always have quality issues, things with the sole, with the fabric…

I’ve wearing ones this past week that are supposed to be the next big hit in fashion and my feet still hurt 💀

Clothing designer shoes for me is like a singer selling merch. Poor quality, cheap production, but easy to sell and big revenue.

Then, shoes brands might be something else.
