Louis Vuitton FW26 at Fondation Louis Vuitton: Monogram, Reimagined

Staged at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams’ Fall/Winter 2026 menswear show marked the 130th anniversary of the iconic LV Monogram, transforming heritage into a contemporary vision. At the centre of the venue stood Drophaus, a full-scale architectural prototype developed with Not a Hotel, translating functional luxury into spatial form.

The collection balanced sartorial rigour with workwear nonchalance: decorative coats met deliberately rumpled shirting, while fitted knits were paired with oversized tailored shorts. Subtle colour accents, bubblegum pink, baby blue and emerald, punctuated a neutral palette. A live orchestral soundtrack reinforced the maison’s multidisciplinary, future-facing language.
