Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 Menswear: My Favorite Looks and Aspirations

January 22, 2025

As someone deeply inspired by fashion, music, and the intersection of art and culture, the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 Menswear show was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Pharrell Williams and Nigo delivered a collection that seamlessly fused streetwear and high fashion, all set against the iconic backdrop of the Louvre. The show opened with "One-Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII, instantly setting an epic and theatrical tone that captivated the audience. This choice of music not only showcased the boldness of the collection but also highlighted its connection to culture and storytelling.

The Collection as a Whole

The Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 collection embodied a perfect harmony of the past and future. Pharrell and Nigo’s shared history in streetwear and Japanese subculture was evident in every piece, from monogrammed sneakers to tailored suits. The collection celebrated individuality, craftsmanship, and the concept of travel, bringing together diverse inspirations in a cohesive and powerful statement. Wide-leg trousers, pixelated camo, and intricate leatherwork paid homage to both early 2000s streetwear and classic luxury. The use of archival pieces from the designers' personal collections added layers of meaning, creating a visual narrative that was both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

My Favorite Looks

1. The Leather Trench

The all-black leather trench with gold accents exuded power and elegance. The structured silhouette, combined with the subtle checkerboard detailing, elevated it beyond a simple statement piece. Paired with a vintage-inspired suitcase, this look screamed modern nomad—someone always on the move, but in undeniable style.

2. Leopard Print Overcoat

The leopard print coat brought an audacious energy to the runway. It struck a balance between dandyism and streetwear, which is no easy feat. The rich, warm tones and oversized cut felt effortlessly chic, making it a standout piece that I’d love to see in my wardrobe.

3. The Tweed Suit

Tweed has a timeless appeal, and seeing it reimagined in an oversized silhouette with a hint of shimmer added a fresh twist. The subtle pink flecks in the fabric gave the suit a unique texture, while the compact, structured bag added a layer of practicality and sophistication.

4. Croc-Embossed Leather Jacket

The croc-embossed leather bomber with cargo pants was an edgy take on luxury. The craftsmanship in the embossed detailing was unmatched, and the contrast between the sleek jacket and utilitarian pants showcased the versatility of the collection.

5. Classic Black Suit with a Twist

The black suit was redefined with sharp tailoring and a whimsical touch of color through the pastel green bag. This look felt like a nod to the brand’s roots in travel while embracing modern minimalism.

6. Varsity Jacket Elegance

Pharrell and Nigo’s streetwear roots were on full display with the deep burgundy varsity jacket. Paired with tailored trousers, it embodied the perfect mix of nostalgia and refinement. The intricate embroidery and subtle LV logos paid homage to the duo’s history in bridging street and luxury fashion.

7. Monogrammed Sneakers

No collection is complete without footwear, and the LV monogrammed sneakers in black and orange were showstoppers. Both pairs balanced boldness and simplicity, making them versatile enough to pair with high-fashion looks or streetwear staples.

Additional Standout Looks

8. The Chocolate Brown Suit

This double-breasted suit in a rich chocolate hue was elevated by the pastel pink tie and mustard yellow bag. It was a masterclass in combining traditional tailoring with playful modernity.

9. Blue Bomber and Denim Bag

The navy bomber jacket paired with wide-leg trousers and a denim duffle bag brought an effortlessly cool vibe. The layering and texture of this look captured the essence of urban sophistication.

10. Pastel Blue Croc Jacket

A pastel blue croc-embossed jacket paired with beige trousers felt like a fresh take on casual luxury. The structured yet relaxed silhouette made it a versatile piece for both day and night.

11. Tan Shearling Bomber

The tan bomber with shearling accents paired with cream trousers was a standout. It brought warmth and comfort while maintaining the high-fashion edge of the collection.

12. Denim Double-Breasted Suit

This look featured a denim suit with subtle pink stitching details, paired with a mustard yellow bag. The retro-modern aesthetic was a bold statement of individuality.

13. Gray Varsity Jacket with Neon Accent

The gray varsity jacket featuring a bold neon logo brought a youthful energy to the collection. Paired with cargo pants and a sleek black bag, it exemplified Pharrell and Nigo’s ability to bridge high fashion with street culture.

My Aspirations with Louis Vuitton

Attending a Louis Vuitton show has always been a dream of mine. The thought of walking through the mirrored box at the Louvre (or wherever the next one will be) feeling the energy of the crowd and witnessing the artistry of the pieces up close, fills me with excitement. Beyond attending, I’d love to walk in a show, representing the intersection of art and music while wearing a look that tells my story.

Even more, I envision one of my tracks playing as models grace the runway. Fashion and music are inseparable; each enhances the other. My sound—a fusion of confidence, introspection, and culture—would perfectly complement the bold visions of Louis Vuitton.

Zach’s shoes literally have his V initial on the sole….

The man’s life is literally one monogramed or personalized item after another…

What’s next? Maybe Zach’s got V sunglasses, underwear, and paper, like legit V shaped pieces of paper he writes on, which, honestly would not be too surprising. And the man probably has a special V tag sewn into all his clothing. The possibilities are endless, lol.
