Louis Vuitton’s Latest Men’s Collection Is All About Dogs, Damier, and Dandy Daywear

Pharrell Williams proves once again that he knows how to blend tradition with innovation in Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2025 Men’s Pre-Collection. Inspired by the world of dog shows, the collection is equal parts sharp and playful, capturing a modern spirit while highlighting the quirkiness of canine competitions along with the savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton’s tailoring.

Rooted in the dandy aesthetics of New York City’s dog-walking culture, Williams’ collection channels a casually refined wardrobe. Preppy codes are revisited through flared trousers, skate shorts, and suiting in neutral tones, elevated by intricate textures and playful motifs. A standout piece? A Dalmatian-print shearling jacket rendered in intarsia—a wearable nod to our four-legged friends.

The exploration of dog show traditions manifests in rosette-embroidered blazers, styled as three-piece suits or layered with tracksuits. New life is breathed into Louis Vuitton’s Damier motif, reimagining it as argyle in jacquard knits, trench coats, and fleece-lined puffer jackets. The pattern’s versatility is on full display, appearing as tonal weaves in shirting, bouclé on a collarless jacket, and the lining of an oversized coat in magnified chevron.

As for accessories, rosette motifs appear on socks, berets, and even as brooches. The jewelry goes big with aged-gold locket necklaces, dog-bone bracelets, and Damier-engraved links. Then, there’s the LV Super Vision sunglasses—Williams’ signature touch from his debut collection—return with updated frames in gold and black.

The collection’s footwear starts with Dalmatian-print trainers and goes to tennis-ball suede sneakers and loafers with metallic buckle details—pieces that don’t take themselves too seriously but still steal the show.

And Williams didn’t forget the dogs. In fact, the most unique pieces of the collection are its dog-specific offerings. Monogram Canvas leashes and collars? Check. A bone-shaped trunk that doubles as a dog bowl set? Naturally. There’s even a custom dog house trunk because why should we have all the fun with Louis Vuitton luggage?

Williams doesn’t just want you to dress well; he wants you to have fun while doing it by making something as simple as walking your dog can feel like a style moment. One thing’s for sure: this collection is sure to make tails—and heads—turn. The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2025 Men’s Pre-Collection by Pharrell Williams is available online and in stores.
