Louis Vuitton - 2026 Men’s Ski Collection by Pharrell Williams

2025-10-23    
   

The lifestyle of skiing is engrained within the LVERS ideology at the heart of the Louis Vuitton men’s realm. Envisioned by Pharrell Williams, Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director, the philosophy defines the mindset of a diverse global community bound together by the discernment and quality epitomised by the House. For the Louis Vuitton 2026 Men’s Ski Collection, Pharrell Williams expands on the capsule’s ongoing fusion of skiwear with the everyday wardrobe. Imbued with the dandy mentality central to the expression of the Studio Homme, high-performance sportswear splices with sartorial codes.

The collection includes twelve authentic skiwear garments created according to the savoir-faire and technical expertise of the sportswear domain. Designed for optimised performance, they are crafted in waterproof and water-repellent materials and constructed with ventilation details, waterproof closures, insulated phone and mask compartments, and integrated trouser BOA systems for snowboard boots and hooks. A ski suit in the LV Tartan Pixel motif merges a high-altitude staple with the heritage pattern epitomic of the dandy. Another ski suit inscribed with the LV Cursive signature created in a technical material gives the illusion of the denim native to daywear. A water-repellent jacket constructed according to the principles of skiwear poses as a casual beige corduroy jacket.

Drawing on elements from the outdoor and trailing wardrobes, off-the-slopes garments echo the performance details of skiwear in technical waterproof and water-repellent materials, detachable sleeves or trouser legs, and dynamic strap belts. With easily-packable constructions, they merge the functionality required by alpine-wear with sophisticated design in quilted and mixed-material windbreakers and performance trousers. The transversal spirit permeates luxury casual après-ski expressions such as fur-effect jackets and knitted blousons. Crafted with heightened savoir-faire, the dandy energy intensifies in exceptional après-ski silhouettes such as a shearling trucker jacket, a mink bomber, a cashmere-blend coat and cosy knitwear adorned with the Monogram Flower.

Bridging the ski and everyday wardrobes, a signature black fleece beanie features alongside an LV Crush beanie in chenille bouclé wool with a matching scarf featuring a retro ski animation. A printed Monogram shearling scarf adapts animations from the leather goods and shoes. The LV Yeti snow boot re-emerges in intarsia shearling Monogram and metallic gunmetal-coloured versions. The LV Remix hiking boot appears in all-black hydro leather, while the LV Trainer Maxi materialises in shearling with fluffy wool laces. Inspired by the emblematic Trunk heritage, the LV Frost ski mask manifests in beige-and-brown or black-and-white, while highlighting changeable Damier/Plain lenses for a versatile look.

Inspired by the idea of blending everyday menswear with performance skiwear, the collection introduces bags in trompe l’oeil nylon posing as denim. The material is employed in a Christopher Sport backpack with zip pockets and a tight-fitting hood flap for functionality and an XL Rush Bumbag, both adorned with heritage natural leather details. Imitating the glistening surfaces of the alpine snow-scape, a line of metallic gunmetal-coloured PVC bags embossed with Monogram counts a Christopher backpack, a Keepall and a Shopper tote bag. Finally, the collection includes a Speedy P9 in grey shearling with a magnified Monogram evoked through intarsia.
