Pharrell visits English country garden in Louis Vuitton men Spring 2026 pre-collection
Tally ho chaps! Louis Vuitton men takes a jaunt around an English country garden, a surprise twist in the house's Spring/Summer 2026 pre-collection, the first images of which were released Friday. It's a first retreat into rural England by Louis Vuitton's American-born men's creative director Pharrell Williams, blending sartorial coats, urban dandyism and countryside classics in a novel departure. 'Through this chemistry, the genetics of the enduring country dandy splice with those of the contemporary city dandy in expressions accelerated by the Parisian savoir-faire of the house,' noted the Paris-based house in a communiqué. The looks come a little more than three weeks before Pharrell will stage his fourth collection for Louis Vuitton, scheduled for the opening evening of Tuesday, June 24 - the first day of Paris' menswear catwalk season, due to run to Sunday, June 29. This new pre-collection is divided into two halves: the great garden outdoors, contrasted by good times inside a storied country house. On the outside super monogram suede jerkins or blousons, and white hiking socks in Damier print, worn with hiking boots or thick-soled hiking loafers. For evening, stand outs feature heraldic print silk shirts; a purple Prince of Wales track pant and top; and country squire micro-check blazers worn with crepe wool shorts. Instead of LV's signature burnt umber and light beige, many bags come in hunter green and faded gold. WASPS, as Gordon Gekko drily noted, love animals but cannot stand people. And that Anglo love of animals is seen in a monogram dog carriers; dog collars; ceramic water bowls; dog jackets and even a monogram bag made as large as a life-sized pointer. 'The fusion materializes in the cultural exchange of wardrobe genres driven by the LVERS ideology that drives the studio prêt-à-porter homme: the mindset of a diverse global community bound together by the creativity, quality and discernment symbolized in the iconography of Louis Vuitton,' concluded Vuitton. Think Gosford Park for 21st century groovers.

Pharrell Williams and Audra McDonald on Putting Dandyism on Display at the Met Gala: ‘It's About Time'
The stars are out at the 2025 Met Gala, where the theme of the night is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' and high-fashion dandyism looks are everywhere. The co-chairs for the 2025 gala are Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour, with LeBron James serving as an honorary chair. More from Variety Colman Domingo's Stylists on His Met Gala Look, Mood Boarding on Pinterest and Dandysim: 'It's Our Culture, Our Heritage, Black Excellence' Jake Gyllenhaal and Audra McDonald on Playing Broadway Villains, Stage Fright and Cellphones Disrupting Broadway Shows: 'I Snapped!' Pharrell Williams, Michel Gondry Scrap Their Movie Musical at Universal in Postproduction (EXCLUSIVE) Williams revealed that Wintour asked him to be a co-chair while they were eating breakfast at the Ritz. 'It was nice. I'm grateful to her for providing this platform for that special color Black. That American color Black,' he told Variety. When asked about his fashion icons, he said, 'The working class. The Black men of the working class. They do the hard work, but then when it's time to get fresh they get dandy and super fine. I'm inspired by the working class because that's where I come from.' The Met Gala host committee includes Audra McDonald, André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jordan Casteel, Dapper Dan, Doechii, Ayo Edebiri, Edward Enninful, Jeremy O. Harris, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Rashid Johnson, Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee, Janelle Monáe, Jeremy Pope, Angel Reese, Sha'Carri Richardson, Tyla, Usher and Kara Walker. McDonald, who just received a Tony nomination for her lead role in 'Gypsy,' said she was 'thrilled' to hear the theme of this year's gala. 'Honestly I thought, 'It's about time.' Someone just asked me where I think Black creativity came from and why is it what it is and I said, 'Because when we were taken away from our motherland, that's all we had. All we had was ourselves, our souls, our bodies.' From that, we survived and thrived.' She looked to her own family for fashion inspiration for her look. 'When it comes to dandyism, my granddaddy, may he rest in peace,' she said. 'He always looked sharp. Most of the men in my family actually. My dad, too, was a sharp dresser. That was important to them. It was important to the culture and it was very important to them. You look right, you do that not only for yourself to claim and be proud of yourself, but you do that for our race.' Variety's On the Carpet is presented by Panera.
