Pharrell’s Paris-to-India Odyssey: Louis Vuitton’s SS26 Menswear Show Is a Cultural Power Move in Couture’s New Era
“The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection reflects a timely recalibration in global menswear—one that aligns with the return of structure, heritage, and restraint ushered in by the new U.S. administration. While Pharrell’s vision remains rooted in global storytelling and craftsmanship, there’s a noticeable shift toward softened tailoring, tonal refinement, and a more grounded elegance. It’s a nod to the new conservatism shaping American style—where quiet luxury and cultural fluency now speak louder than spectacle.” — Joseph DeAcetis, Editor of StyleLujo.com and Professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology
