Louis Vuitton has launched the campaign for the house’s Fall 2026 Men’s Capsule Collection, designed by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams.
The collection, released in September 2025 as a precursor to the Spring-Summer 2026 line, focuses on Ivy League style interpreted for a global contemporary audience.
According to Maison, the collection draws on the trans-Atlantic exchange between British heritage wardrobes and American university fashion. The line reflects early twentieth-century collegiate dressing, combining elements of classic tailoring with sportswear and rowing aesthetics.
The wardrobe is designed for versatility and includes both casual and formal options. It uses muted traditional tones highlighted with brighter colours inspired by university pennants. Materials include collegiate leather, knitwear staples, mixed-material varsity garments and refined tailoring. The aim is to accommodate a range of dressing styles suited to the changeable autumn climate.
Key pieces include Monogram Heritage tartans in flannel shirts, hooded blousons and denim sets, alongside varsity outerwear and knitwear for transitional temperatures. The brand notes that the collection continues to expand Louis Vuitton’s signature motifs, such as Damier chequers and Monogram embroidery, into new items such as shirts, blousons and denim jackets.
Footwear features the IV Oxford in calf leather with metal details and the LV Remix, which updates the classic monogram in a trainer and boot hybrid. Accessories are also central, with new interpretations of the LV Slide sunglasses, jewellery in collegiate-inspired designs, and leather bags. Notable bags include the Trio Messenger, Keepall 25 and Keepall 55, as well as a new iteration of the Speedy P9 in suede embossed with Monogram flowers.
The collection’s accessories also reference Ivy League sports through charms, key rings and Monogram clutch bags shaped like rugby balls. Items such as leather wallets, canvas bags and luggage options continue the collegiate theme by including laurel, letter and emblem patches.
Louis Vuitton describes the capsule as a balance between casual and sartorial codes. It aims to capture the evolution of Ivy League dressing by integrating traditional symbols of college sports and heritage tailoring with contemporary interpretations.
The Fall 2026 Men’s Capsule Collection will be available in Louis Vuitton stores from September 2025.
