Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2025: Pharrell’s high-speed escape from Paris to Miami
Perhaps a nod to the upcoming Met Gala, the first half of the collection channels the classic cruise ship dandy
It can be hard to elevate menswear in the summer, but Louis Vuitton is showing us how we can bring the heat. Pharrell Williams sends Louis Vuitton on a fast-track cruise from Paris to Miami for Pre-Fall 2025, and he’s not slowing down for anyone. Think old-school transatlantic style smashed together with the heat and haze of a Miami beach day. Timeless and exciting, inspired?
The Collection
Perhaps a nod to the upcoming Met Gala, the first half of the collection channels the classic cruise ship dandy: sharp suits, slick sunset tones, and technical outerwear built for serious flex. Traditional tailoring gets an upgrade with nautical stripes and glossy textures. This isn’t your grandfather’s idea of dressing up, it’s cruise couture for the new wave.
Dockside, the rules melt away. Pharrell flips Miami’s candy coloured chaos into breezy bowling sets, poolside terry cloth robes disguised as coats, and silk pyjama suiting made for beach hangs and after-hours takeovers. Monogram prints glow in neon pops, while stripes and lightweight layers dominate the off-duty uniform.
Accessories
Accessories go hard: it’s all about the natural materials. Think raffia-wrapped Speedys, denim-drenched backpacks, dolphin-shaped bag, and handwoven wicker trunks ready to party. Sunglasses and jewellery play on sailor codes with a heavy hit of street energy, perfect for those who know how to mix classy with fun.
Shoes pull the summer ensemble all together: chunky trainers, raffia loafers, and shiny LV sandals that look just as good on deck as they do at the beach bar.
In Pharrell’s hands, Louis Vuitton’s polished legacy feels fast, loose, and alive — a wardrobe built for the ones who treat every stopover like a takeover.
With Pharrell gearing up to co-chair the Met Gala very soon, this collection feels like a bold preview. Louis Vuitton isn’t just cruising into a new era, it’s making serious waves.
