The modern gentleman can effortlessly transition from a breakfast meeting to a black-tie event with style and sophistication. Louis Vuitton's Formal FW26 collection makes this seamless experience possible, featuring made-to-measure ready-to-wear attire. Under his signature design spectrum of traditional codes reinterpreted for the modern era, Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams organizes the collection into three categories: Timeless Business, Modern Tailoring, and Evening.
Addressing the changing daily requirements of modern professionals, Williams highlights that today's businessman can confidently express boldness in both their work and their style. The Timeless Business category allows superfine material to reign supreme. Featuring micro-patterning such as pinstripes of tiny LV Flowers, a delicate Damier Seeds jacquard, a tessellation of interlocking LVs, or a tone-on-tone monogram, this category offers a subtler nod to opulence for the refined aesthetics of a discreet gentleman.


Modern Tailoring sets a more boisterous tone, drawing from workwear, trucker staples, uniforms, and dandyism. Suits are complemented with wool and cashmere vests, as well as shirt-collared ripstop parkas. The collection also features cardigans, crewnecks, zip-up sweaters, silk blend knits, and polo shirts, highlighting a blend of practicality and classic upscale style.
Evening Wear merges the tuxedo silhouette with the flowing, open-collar dressing gown. A silk mohair wool double-breasted suit is livened with monogram patterns and cheetah print motifs. Accessories of the collection include Monogram Flower cufflinks, silk ties, LV Signature Aviator sunglasses, and belts in a variety of calf, ostrich, or rare crocodile.
With the Formal FW26, Pharrell presents the ability to meld old-world gentility with contemporary refinement.
