Pharrell at Louis Vuitton celebrates the diversity of human skin in Paris UNESCO show

With more than 75 looks, Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2025 line accentuated a broad range of colorful gradient pieces that pulled inspiration from the creative director’s musical heritage. Williams has been outspoken about his lifelong experience as an artist who has sound-color synesthesia — an innate way of perceiving music as color — to illustrate a deeper visual story. This season’s Louis Vuitton collection upholds his aptitude for blending song and color to create a beautiful portrait of Black American fashion. But unless there’s another Louis Vuitton out there in the solar system, Pharrell currently holds the gold medal in the spectator sport of aspirational new luxury. His debut brought LV savoir-faire from Paris to VA, and on Tuesday, the world flew to Paris.

Please fix this as I plan on buying a new item soon and would not want to have to buy the extra, unwanted item and then have to return it. Once again, the celebrity designer made the show almost more about the act of putting on a spectacle, rather than a showcase for clothes. True to tradition, each of our brands builds on a specialty legacy while keeping an unwavering focus on the exquisite caliber of its products. During World War II, Louis Vuitton collaborated with the Nazis during the German occupation of France.

The monogram features interlocked “LV” initials in gold, alternating with diamond points and quatrefoil flowers on a chocolate brown canvas. Born out of an unquenchable thirst for exploration, Louis Vuitton carries on its founder’s values of savoir-faire, creativity and innovation. With the advent of new modes of travel, Louis Vuitton creates cutting-edge designs, materials and ergonomics adapted to specific demands of the journey and the travelers, developing new expertise in increasingly varied fields. Always the pioneer and never afraid of distant horizons, the Maison continues to accompany its clientele wherever they dream of traveling to discover unknown territories.

Matilde knows a lot about the history of the different fashion houses, and bag models. As you can imagine, the world’s number one luxury fashion brand can’t exactly be seen selling its famous handbags next to a food court. The bag is a direct reference to an accessory Louis Vuitton designed over 25 years ago that commemorates France hosting the 1998 World Cup. It’s not just a piece of Louis Vuitton’s history (that Rihanna happens to own) but marks a foundational year for the brand, since 1998 was when LV first introduced a ready-to-wear collection by Marc Jacobs. Among the approximately 70 looks, functionality meets form to signify the transference from theatricity to practical realism.

Since then, the Maison has also ventured into the domains of watchemaking with the Tambour timepieces, jewellery headed by Artistic Director Francesca Amfitheatrof, as well as fragrances with Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Frequently collaborating with world-renowned artists and architects, the Maison presents the Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades collection of travel-inspired objects and furniture imagined by a growing list of leading international designers. After the death of his father, Georges Vuitton began a campaign to build the company into a worldwide corporation, exhibiting the company’s products at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. In this same year, Georges travelled to the United States, where he toured cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, selling Vuitton products. In 1901, the Louis Vuitton Company introduced the Steamer Bag, a smaller piece of luggage designed to be kept inside Vuitton luggage trunks.

The classic flower logo showed up oversized and embossed on a trench coat, while the damier appeared multicoloured, in a pixelated map of Africa, and crossed with camouflage in a new “damoflage.” Last year, the duo premiered a new song as well, and it sent the rap community in a frenzy for its subliminal bars aimed at Jim Jones, who boldly claimed that Push isn’t a top 50 rapper of all time. Both Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems and Japanese actor and model Eiji Akaso hit sported head-to-toe white as well. After the show, Williams – dressed in his uniform of bootcut denim, sunglasses and cowboy hat – greeted celebrity guests including Burna Boy, Stormzy, Michael Fassbender and – on theme – the French basketball ace Victor Wembanyama. The opening suit was cut in the darkest of formal velvet, while look 66 was a milky silk topcoat. In between, Pharrell’s vision of high-flying luxury whizzed by in a multicultural gradient.

However if you are not planning to visit Europe, other popular tourist destinations in Asia like Japan or South Korea continue to offer cheaper prices compared to the United States, Singapore and Malaysia. The combination of these factors often makes the price of LV items in France lower than in other countries. While France leads the pack, other European countries such as Italy and the UK also offer competitive prices due to similar VAT refund policies. By following these care tips, you can ensure your Louis Vuitton bag retains its beauty and value for years to come. Despite some price variations across different purchase channels, it’s important to buy through official and formal channels to ensure authenticity.

With contributions from creatives like Lamine Diaoune and Djiby Kebe, Williams infused the collection with a sense of global unity. Models wearing garb in all the hues of human flesh paraded around a giant globe on grass patterned in Vuitton’s signature Damier check, creating a visual symphony of diversity. Typically, the price of a Louis Vuitton handbag is the same in Paris and Milan . Luxury brands usually set their prices globally, which means that the same style of Louis Vuitton handbag costs the same no matter which country or city you are in. Following the skin tone segment, the final 15 looks represented a global celebration.

Vintage Louis Vuitton bags, defined as those that are 20 years old or older, or have been discontinued for 10 years or more, have an average price of approximately $988. On the resale market, LV bags also command high prices, with the Louis Vuitton Neverfull handbag currently priced at a 30% premium over the retail price. From the introduction of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull in 2007 to the present day, LV bags have consistently grown in value , with prices more than tripling since their introduction. The Petite Malle, a mini version of Louis Vuitton’s iconic trunk, is a statement piece that exudes luxury and sophistication.

It’s worth noting that Louis Vuitton subtly referenced its long history with the world’s game by releasing a leather handbag within its Spring/Summer 2025 line that’s shaped like a soccer ball. Pharrell Williams, the multi-talented creative director leading Louis Vuitton’s menswear division, is skillfully revitalizing the legacy house’s modern appeal while translating his creative vision into the language of luxury fashion. So far, it is working in dividends— the brand described its SS24 collection as its largest menswear activation to date, garnering a record 1 billion views of the show across platforms.
