The Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2025 Men’s Pre-Collection, directed by Pharrell Williams, takes a fresh approach to contemporary menswear by intertwining heritage, luxury, and a touch of whimsy. This collection, pre-launched online on October 24, 2024, and available worldwide in stores starting October 31, 2024, highlights a unique bond between humans and their canine companions, symbolizing a cosmopolitan lifestyle with an eye for elegance and functionality.

Inspired by Dog Shows and the Culture of Canine Companions

The collection draws inspiration from the world of dog shows, merging the traditional refinement of these events with playful creativity. From embroidered crests and letterman jackets to fine tailoring, the pieces reflect the competitive regality of dog shows while embracing a casual, approachable style. Pharrell Williams brings humor and sophistication into dialogue, showcasing ensembles that balance athleticism with polished tailoring.

Highlighted Styles: Damier Argyle and Heritage-Inspired Silhouettes

The collection is divided into distinctive themes:

1. Damier Argyle: A fresh take on Louis Vuitton's iconic checkerboard motif, reimagined as argyle patterns, appearing in tailored suits, coats, and sweaters. Highlights include a forest green coat with chevron lining and a Dalmatian-patterned shearling jacket, celebrating the idea of owners resembling their pets.
2. Best in Show: Paying homage to dog shows, this chapter features rosette-embroidered three-piece suits and tailored tracksuits in Damier jacquard. Mother-of-pearl buttons, shawl collars, and an infinity houndstooth motif elevate these pieces to artful elegance.

Accessories for Humans and Dogs

Louis Vuitton takes its commitment to the "LVERS" ideology a step further by introducing an exclusive line of dog accessories, including leads, collars, harnesses, and thermoses in Monogram Canvas. Matching human-dog ensembles—such as black velvet berets and bandanas—further exemplify the brand’s whimsical yet luxurious design approach.

For fashion enthusiasts, accessories like gold-finish jewelry, Damier Argyle beanies, and the iconic LV Super Vision sunglasses (redesigned with metallic finishes) add a bold touch.

Canine-Inspired Footwear and Bags

The footwear collection adapts dog-inspired motifs, featuring Dog Collar Loafers with metal buckle details and Dalmatian-print LV Trainers. The bags, ranging from classic Keepalls to new Cargo Hobo silhouettes, blend functionality with style, incorporating leather, suede, and Monogram Canvas for a dandy sensibility.
