Pharrell and Nigo Join Forces for Louis Vuitton’s FW25 Men’s Collection
The collection stands at the intersection of two worlds—Pharrell’s forward-thinking stylistic expression and Nigo’s encyclopedic knowledge of twentieth-century workwear
The archivist meets the visionary
Pharrell Williams and Nigo, both icons in their own right, have joined forces once again to bring their shared creative legacy into the spotlight, this time through the lens of Louis Vuitton’s rich heritage.
In this collaboration, the past is reinterpreted, remixed, and made new. The collection stands at the intersection of two worlds—Pharrell’s forward-thinking stylistic expression and Nigo’s encyclopedic knowledge of twentieth-century workwear.
Their combined forces create a collection that feels timeless, yet completely of the moment. It’s a celebration of a friendship that has spanned decades, but also a shared love for the subcultures that first inspired them.
A creative ecosystem in motion
As the collection unfolds, it becomes clear that this collaboration is about creating a space where new ideas are constantly evolving. The Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme, driven by the LVERS mindset, is a creative ecosystem where fashion, art, music, and culture all intersect.
It’s a place where the past is constantly reimagined to inspire the future.
What stands out in this collection is the seamless blend of influences—Japanese street culture, the utilitarian aesthetic of workwear, and the haute couture sensibilities that define Louis Vuitton.
The two collaborators have taken the notion of “fusion” to new heights, which allows cultural touchstones to exist side-by-side, almost as if they are speaking directly to each other.
You see it in the clean lines of a tailored jacket alongside a bag that echoes the utilitarian spirit of mid-century workwear. You feel it in the materials, where a textured fabric might suddenly give way to a softer, more luxurious one, capturing the spirit of travel and the exchange of ideas.
The collaboration between Pharrell and Nigo is a celebration of friendship, culture, and the infinite possibilities that arise when different worlds collide.
The show also featured a powerful soundtrack curated by Pharrell, with a special moment being the debut of BTS’s J-Hope’s new song LV Bag, featuring Don Toliver. The track closed the show, adding to a lineup of music Pharrell personally crafted, including Seventeen’s Bad Influence and Timeless by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti.
