CNo matter what anyone says, everyone loves Pharrell. L’hype towards the latest men’s Autumn-Winter 2024/2025 fashion show Louis Vuitton Men at Paris Fashion Week they prove it: a true King Midas of fashion.

Everything he creates and touches turns to gold. And he shoots up in the approval ratings of the public and fans: from his first test at the helm of the Maison as successor to the unforgettable Virgil Abloh, every fashion show, appearance or glamorous stunt becomes much talked about. It may be for his original personality, it may be for his star beginnings or for his eccentric sense of style. But this time too, her menswear show attracted attention. How come? Here they are summarized in 5 points the highlights of the Louis Vuitton 2024 fashion show.

The location of the Louis Vuitton 2024 fashion show

A location that closely resembles a film set. For the second Louis Vuitton Men’s fashion show Pharrell Williams brought the French brand to the Jardin d’Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne, behind the Fondation. The models paraded in front of a screen where the evocative scenery of the Rocky Mountains appeared. Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexicosnow-covered for the occasion: and at a certain point the flakes also landed on the guests.

To open the show a video prelude signed by Bafic: Ron Husband, 38 years old on the Walt Disney Animation Studios production team, was immortalized while drawing a sketch of a primitive cowboy (among his creations, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid). And as a soundtrack, written together with the singer-stylist, the performance of Native Voice of Resistancea powwow group composed of singers from native communities Dakota and Lakota.

The collection inspired by the Far West

A non-random choice to focus on the Far West: the Louis Vuitton Men’s Autumn-Winter 2024/2025 collection is in fact inspired by the wildest and most authentic American wardrobe. The references look to the workwear wardrobe, but also to that of the dandy: the Maison’s cult motifs such as the Damier and the LV symbol are reinterpreted in a Buffalo Check and Monogram Cowboy key; the exits alternate leather suits with fringes and gem applications, blanket effect coatsjackets aged as if they were burned in the prairie sun, but also suits with pinstripe work, dungarees tailoring e western shirts with lace embroidery.

The looks of Doc Halloway, the pioneering American gunslinger, come to life on the catwalk. And some appear too releases dedicated to herwhich seem to mimic Grace Kelly’s looks in High Noon (1952).

The eye for accessories

The growing success of the Louis Vuitton Men’s collections designed by Pharrell Williams continues in the glorious wake of accessories. The trunk LV Speedy also loved by Jacob Elordi it is still the absolute key piece, reinterpreted in different colors and sizes. But some other innovations are also appearing which are preparing to become cult: starting from the bag with thermoformed handle invented by Pharrell himself up to the Steamer bag which mimics tool bags.

On the floor footwearsurprisingly, here appears a co-lab with Timberlands for the ankle boots in three logo versions which we are sure will be a hit among fans of the brand (a luxury version also features gold inserts). And then the boot LV Texan, created thanks to the original expertise of the Goodyear player. The Parfleche blankets and Dakota Flower scarves, as well as some It Bags, are made in collaboration with artists and artisans from the Native American tribes called to set the show to music.

The heterogeneous guests

Everyone really likes Pharrell. A fact echoed by the front row, always different, heterogeneous, which conquers different groups of possible buyers. At the forefront a very elegant Bradley Cooper, from September 2023 increasingly present in the Maison’s advertising and dressed in Louis Vuitton on the red carpets. Following him, not only the crowd of top Koreans (like the new boyband that all Gen Z is currently in love with, the Riize), but also Carey Mulligan And Karlie Kloss.

Among athletes, it goes further Lebron James with Venus Williamsbut also the footballer Marco Verratti and the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarummaboth in the Italian national team.

Pharrell’s look for the show

Who more than Pharrell Williams himself could best interpret his own collection? In a fashion world that for years has celebrated the minimal and recognizable uniform for stylists, the star closes on stage to applause with a pair of maxi antique gold aviator glasses, a heart-print t-shirt, maxi LV belt and bootcut jeans .

Inevitable on the head in place of the crown, the symbolic protagonist of the parade, the white cowboy hat. Just to underline the concept that It is he who candidly moves the masses.
