Forum Members Review the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring 2026 Collection

Day one of the Menswear Paris Fashion Week Spring 2026 was a one for the books. This season, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode’s schedule granted us spectacular day one showcases from Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton. Pharrell Williams has been the creative force behind Louis Vuitton Menswear since 2023 just dropped his ninth collection. For Spring 2026, Williams invited guests (including Beyoncé and BamBam to the Centre Pompidou. The set evoked a life-sized game of Snakes and Ladders, conceived by architect Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai. Models emerged from backstage donning a collection “rooted in the multi-faceted signatures of Indian sartorialism”, consisting of sun-bleached silks, worn-in leathers, and soft wools, cashmere, plaids, and lightweight tailoring.

“This act he puts on every time he comes out at the end of the show is so cringe. It’s even worse than the luggage trolley gimmick. Nothing interesting there. It’s just bland.” [Avonlea]

“I didn’t like the show. The music, the choir, the trolleys, the cameras flying. Too busy.” [Monsieur Cristobal]

“The pushing of the trunks need to stop. It becomes a gimmick rather than a part of the show.” [TaylorBinque]

“Absolutely nothing is desirable here, save for a couple of pieces. It looks COMMON.” [Squizree]

“Not awful, but I probably won’t remember anything about it either. He knows how to put on a show though.” [LadyJunon]

“I pretty much echo all the sentiments thus far in this thread. Very appealing, luxe clothes but as ever lacking in identity. I doubt I’ll remember this collection in a couple of days time. Well, maybe the shiny trousers which looked really nice, especially when paired with a simple brown cable knit jumper.” [Fiercification]

“I hate that I kinda like it.” [youthinasia]

“I like the knits. Some gorgeous sweaters in there.” [fruitdots]
