From Met Gala to pet gala: dog lover Pharrell Williams retreated to the countryside for this year’s canine-inflected Louis Vuitton menswear resort collection. Although the offer wasn’t quite as dense with dog accessories as 2025’s equivalent, there were dog graphics; bags shaped after a pointer, a fox, and a beagle; a trunk/dog bed hybrid; more dog collars; doggy-do bag holders; a brass-doored Speedy pet trunk; dog bowls; a quilted leather dog jacket; and a spiffy cap with built-in earholes.

While Williams was not on hand to walk through the collection, its footprints nodded to some classic tropes of Anglomania via many dandyish diversions specific to his design direction. His nods to le style anglais included a Prince of Wales check tweed puffer, microcheck tailoring in the house’s serendipitously tweedy hues of brown cut in denim or wool and patterned with widely spaced monogram logotypes, a tailored top coat in herringbone, commuter-friendly quilted jackets, and a check collarless jacket. Jackets that distorted the gridded geometry of the house pattern with raindrop circles were true reflections of the LV team’s inspirational source territory. There was a riff on the cricket sweater. Foxes and crowns decorated a woven print jacket.

Beyond that Williams presented a broad palette of materially elevated casual pieces. Parkas, chore jackets, windbreakers, varsity jackets, and bombers were all humble templates delivered in rich materials, the highlight of which was a cropped fitted trucker-like jacket in olive-dyed shearling. His denim and tailoring was cut in the house boot-cut, the better to accommodate handsome lug-soled boots. Top-to-toe workwear outfits were made in what looked like felted suede peppered with more monogram pattern. This was an appealing and leisurely stroll across the expanding landscape of Williams’s menswear design.
