Pharrell Williams continues the trend of adapting dandyism into new environments and fashionscapes with the release of the Louis Vuitton Fall 2026 Men’s Capsule Collection. The collection interpolates the dandy in a collegiate setting—effortlessly capturing the nuances of Ivy League prep. Each garment traverses the codes of academia, workwear, and sportswear creating an aesthetic that is innately intellectual, emphasizing clean lines, classic silhouettes, and a relaxed, yet polished tailoring. The collection embodies the evolution of British heritage wardrobes at the American East Coast universities. Williams’s dandy infuses the visual vocabulary of university insignia with the Maison’s exquisite savoir-faire.

The collection’s muted autumnal palette is intercut with spiritwear emblems and pops of color reminiscent of the classic university pennant. From rowing practice to library study sessions and campus mixers, the wardrobe renders an encompassing silhouette that sits between the realms of elegant prep and casual sportswear. The clothing welcomes the dandy to interpret his own levels of dressing up or down, crafted with materials of versatility for layering.

The sophistication of the Ivy League meets the iconography of Louis Vuitton with the Monogram Tartan interpreted on flannel shirts, hooded blousons, and denim sets or the Monogram Heritage stripe reimagined into Division One athletics. Varsity sport blends with luxury fashion in refined craftsmanship—think tailored trucker jackets reimagined in premium fabrics and elevated knitwear emblazoned with university insignia. Monogram Seed motifs are printed or embroidered across shirts, leather overshirts, and denim sets, while an LV Club Flag patterns denim jackets and outerwear. 

The changing seasons of New England academia call for versatility in dress, with adaptable outerwear crafted in double-face wool, cashmere, or silk. Layering is key in this collection’s trans-seasonal nature, from Monogram blousons crafted to be worn as is or layered under coats or a camel coat featuring a detachable Monogram scarf for a fit that is simultaneously relaxed and sleek. Knitted vests, cardigans, and sweaters channel the enduring codes of academia through classic silhouettes, muted tones, and scholarly charm—styled beneath blazers or pulled over button downs and neckties.

Accessories cement the Ivy League spirit, with LV Club motifs adorning tennis socks and caps or cable-knit scarves and beanies representing the shifting seasons on a red bricked campus. Reversible jacquard scarves and canvas belts feature patterns and solids, and LV Slide sunglasses adopt new shapes with gold metal stripes. Collegiate codes imbue silver sterling necklaces, bracelets, rings, and single hoop earrings with sensibility and timeless style. Classic footwear, such as the LV Oxford loafer, the LV Remix in an ankle boot or boat shoe, or the calf leather Mary-Janes, grace images of cobblestone pathways leading towards Gothic spires and grand libraries. The LV Classic sneaker and the LV Trainer bridge the worlds of school and sport in nubuck and calf leather.

Lastly, messenger bags, keepalls, and bumbags feature preppy blue or red stripes in a new take on Williams’s Monogram Héritage. With saffron-colored lining, gold hardware, and customizable name tags, the line transitions seamlessly from the lecture hall to the playing field. The mascot of this collection is featured across turtle-shaped canvas and leather wallets, while rugby balls inspire the shapes of Monogram clutches and pochettes salute the prestige of Ivy League sports.
