With his Pre-Fall 2025 Menswear Collection, Pharrell Williams moves from Paris to Miami in his most recent journey as Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Creative Director, navigating the oceans of tradition and modern flair. More than just a seasonal showcase, this campaign tells a cinematic tale of transatlantic travel, infused with a rich legacy of dapper elegance, pastel resort relaxation, and nautical flare. The ad, which was directed by Gregoire Dyer and photographed by Rosie Marks, depicts the contemporary traveler who dresses as elegantly for a party on the beach as he does for a yacht deck.

From Transit To Tropics: A Two-Part Wardrobe Journey

‘Transit’ and ‘Arrival’ are the two chapters that make up the collection, which is based on the notion that the journey itself is just as fashionable as the final destination. The travel outfit embraces sophisticated tailoring and timeless sportswear with a Pharrell touch, evoking the heyday of cruise ships. Imagine opulent peignoir-style coats, three-piece suits with Jazz Age designs, and finely cut jackets that have been updated with contemporary textiles and sun-washed colours that mimic the sunset ocean.

Sailor stripes, moiré jacquards, and the striking Monogram Regatta print—where small boats create Louis Vuitton’s distinctive pattern across windbreakers and chambray shorts—are just a few examples of the maritime cultural iconography that permeates the collection. The design pays homage to Pharrell’s own talent for transforming the past into whimsical modernism in addition to his maritime ancestry.

The outfit changes as the yacht arrives at its ultimate destination, Miami Beach. The pastel-painted glitz of vacation life is embraced by Arrival. When daywear and loungewear go together harmoniously, lounging becomes a more sophisticated experience. The terrycloth textures, breezy shirts, and light tailoring blend together to create carefree yet well-planned poolside leisure ensembles. According to this theory of style, elegance never goes out of style.

Accessories: Anchoring The Aesthetic

Pharrell doesn’t skimp on the details. The accessories, which add both utility and flair, are essential to this LVERS story. Rope trims decorate sailor berets, while pearl-buttoned denim hats strike a mix between tradition and urban style. While jewellery items recall maritime craft—aged brass and sterling silver coffee bean necklaces, beaded chain bracelets, and inflated LV logos double as wearable treasures from a treasure chest—bandanas and silk scarves showcase Heritage Monogram designs and sunset-toned hues.

The sunglasses in this series are sleek, bold, and a true work of chromotherapy. With their oval frames and golden temple stripes, the LV Super Vision and LV Pure Low collections feature rimless shapes and nautical accents that perfectly capture the essence of speed and elegant sailing.

Footwear: From Deck To Destination

The collection’s shoes perfectly capture Pharrell’s idea of elegant vacation attire. There is a pair for any occasion, whether you’re on a yacht’s deck or attending a beachside party. The deformed metal logo of the LV Scala loafer conveys a sense of formality with a hint of casualness. Loafers and mules covered in raffia provide a tactile contrast and a sense of seaside chill for the beach. The LV Footprint football boots, dipped in fading suede from sand to sky, and the LV Traveller slippers, which draw inspiration from hotel comforts, complete the collection.

LVERS Philosophy: A Global Fashion Community

At the heart of it all is the LVERS philosophy—a celebration of values, discernment, and global interconnectedness. Williams’ creative direction speaks not just to fashion lovers, but to those who see style as a narrative, a vessel for storytelling and identity. Whether cast off at a port in Paris or lounging by a pastel pool in Miami, this collection affirms that the Louis Vuitton man doesn’t just dress for where he is—but for where he’s headed.
