Louis Vuitton's SS26 Menswear celebrates Indian heritage

Pharrell Williams’ Spring-Summer 2026 collection for Louis Vuitton Men’s channels the vibrancy of India through a rich interplay of cloth, cut, colour, and craft. Presented at the Centre Pompidou on a life-sized Snakes and Ladders-inspired set, the collection evokes the vitality of the sun and the rhythm of travel. Sun-faded silks, lived-in tailoring, monogrammed shell suits, and earthy tones like coffee brown and purple-blue define its urban-outdoor versatility and effortless elegance, the company said on its website.

A standout detail in Louis Vuitton’s SS26 Men’s collection is the revival of the animal motif. Palm trees, cheetahs, zebras, and more animate the collection, appearing on luggage and intricately hand-embroidered on statement pieces like a cashmere coat. Complementing this is a new coffee bean brown denim, a grounded, recurring hue that ties the collection’s earthy, India-inspired palette together.
