Louis Vuitton Menswear Formal Spring/Summer 2026 Collection
A dedicated Louis Vuitton Formal Menswear Collection for Spring/Summer 2026 continues the House's history of elevating and innovating suiting pieces—in the forms of Timeless Businesswear, Modern Tailoring, Evening Wear, and an entire reimagining of the LV Aerogram leathergoods line. The iconic Formal Footwear line is thoughtfully updated and introduced in a stunning marine blue patina, among other tones. This exquisite expression of style reestablishes the codes of a preceding New Formal Collection, an interpretation of Men's Creative Director Pharrell Williams's distinctive vocabulary and current obsessions, as well as Louis Vuitton's unmistakable signatures. Timeless Businesswear is defined by direction and intentionality, showing the potency of nuance in power dressing. Classic and sophisticated jackets, trousers, and light overcoats in brushed wool and wool-cashmere blends allow for layering over an array of crisp shirting options. Etched horn buttons, small LV medallions, and tonal jacquard patterns of a repeated LV or a pinstripe made up of LVs subtly nod to the appeal of branded consistency. Smart yet understated, these silhouettes are seasonless in spirit, designed to withstand the tempo of modern schedules in metropolises. The Sorbonne line for the first time sees a High Derby style. It, along with the classic Loafer, is offered now in rich brown suede. The beloved Major Loafer in glazed leather is reintroduced with a streamlined face and an embossed Marque L. Vuitton Deposée signature on its upper. Modern Tailoring challenges the structure of the suit by incorporating other iconic shapes, such as the button-flap pocket workwear blouson, the hooded blouson, the high-collared tracksuit jacket, the half-zipped wool sweater, the knit blazer, and even a tailored notch lapel trucker, with denim-style metal buttons. This bold mix-and-match approach inspires an evolved understanding of meeting the dress code. Here, where formality does not in any way equal rigidity, newness arrives through proportion, details, and texture. Crewneck sweaters, polos, shawl collar cardigans, and shirting with short and long sleeves round out the selection. Each is seen in luxurious materials, from a monogram jacquard trans-seasonal wool to a cashmere denim blend, or workwear flannel. Indelible branded details include embossed leather patches and the monogram flower as embroidery or rivet. Quietly expressive outerwear expands functionality within formalwear parameters. A smart, water-repellent wool fabric and sharp accents elevate a snap-button, quilted down blouson and a versatile, three-in-one parka with detachable, reversible gilet. Cashmere, vicuña, and supple leather bring a workwear-style shearling into a decidedly higher end. Credits: Louis Vuitton Credits: Louis Vuitton Footwear is both traditional and intrepid. The LV Flex line, in Derby, Loafer, and Chelsea Boot styles, each with either a rubber or leather sole, features an exceptional Goodyear Flex construction that combines traditional craftmanship with an innovative cork-filled base. Each pair reflects the timeless appeal of British shoemaking and Louis Vuitton signifiers, such as Monogram Eclipse canvas details on the back. The effortless yet undeniably classy Kensington Derby and Loafer are reintroduced in glazed and gradient Monogram-printed Spazzolato calf leather and Monogram flower-stamped rubber outsole. The LV Oxford Loafer in glazed leather now boasts a newly designed buckle inspired by the Capucines Bag's perimeter-defining hardware. The shoe's front strap is affixed with a jewelry-like piece, engraved on its top edge with a Louis Vuitton signature and single Monogram flower. The more rugged Bastille Derby and Combat Boot are now seen in a supple yet strong Scotch-grained calf. The line combines craft details of a classic country brogue (its perforations cut in the shape of Monogram flowers) with the thick rubber (Vuitton-stamped) tread, (Damier-embossed) neoprene backing, and mesh lining of modern military footwear. Each is marked with an LV Heritage silver pin. A super-supple, worn-in calf leather LV Trainer is introduced as a formal option, in monochromatic vintage-effect black or white. The elaborately constructed upper is marked with the line's Louis Vuitton script and 54 signatures, on reworked reinforcements that result in exceptional flexibility and lightness. Evening Attire steps confidently into any black-tie celebration, showcasing the House's savoir-faire and emphasis on individuality. Moments that demand presence might benefit from an enigmatic collarless jacket, flared or drawstring tailored trousers, strass-set buttons, LV-shaped cufflinks, and pearl detailing. Rich materiality is expressed, for example, via intricate French knot embroidery forming a pointillist, textured tonal monogram in delicate grey, showstopping Damier flocking, fluid silk blend separates with a monogram-enhanced pajama stripe, or a timeless, three-piece, 100% virgin wool tuxedo. The Grenelle Richelieu, in gradient Monogram-lasered, Blake construction, round leather-laced patent leather, and the Minister Derby, in gradient Damier glazed, textile-laced calf with a Monogram flower-stamped sole, each cut an elegant, unmissable footwear figure. This Louis Vuitton Formal Collection, which launches in August of 2025, is specially designed with aspiration and achievement in mind, destined for the places where successful men go, for business, pleasure, and special occasion. Through an uncanny attention to detail, classic menswear is offered its own agenda, calling for ultimate refinement without pretention. Credits: Louis Vuitton Credits: Louis Vuitton To compliment this collection, the permanent LV Aerogram line has been reimagined with modern practicality in mind, seeing business travel and everyday meetings as opportunities for occasion dressing. Sleek, softer lines and even more understated signatures are seen in supple yet wear-resistant waxy grained calf that shows its fine quality through leather straps and trimmings, reinforced with matte, tone-on-tone hardware and topstitching. An embossed V takes inspiration from both the name Vuitton and the arrow shape seen on airplane tarmacs, a nod to travel heritage. Magnetized front flaps and multiple exterior and interior zipped pockets ensure a perfect fit for today's most used electronic devices and personal belongings, focusing on a lightweight, ergonomic, and protective essential. Updated styles and new introductions to the line include the Fastline and Discovery Work Backpacks, the Speed and Boarding Messengers, the Keepalls 50 and 35, the Cabin Tote, the Gate Briefcase, the Avenue Sling PM, the Weekender, and the rolling Horizon Business. The Duo Pouch, designed with today's anywhere-goes meeting in mind, fits up to two laptops or tablets and provides a padded inner pocket roomy enough for external hardware such as chargers, headphones, cords, stands, and remote keypads. A small leather goods selection reimagines the Takeoff Pouch, the Brazza, the Marco, the Victor, the Multiple, the Zippy Horizontal, and the Pocket Organizer in a contemporary palette, adding Forest Green and Storm Blue leather options to the mix.

Las Vegas Freestyle Chess: Arjun Erigaisi Stumbles In Semifinals Against Levon Aronian
Last Updated: Aronian registered a 2-0 triumph over Erigaisi in the final-four encounter on American soil. Indian GM Arjun Erigaisi slipped to a defeat at the hands of Levon Aronian on Saturday in the semifinal encounter between the players at the Las Vegas Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour. Aronian registered a 2-0 triumph over Erigaisi in the final-four encounter on American soil. With the triumph, Aronian has now got the better of World No.1 Magnus Carlse, No. 2 Hikaru Nakamura and No.5 Pragg at the ongoing evet in LV. Out Of Steam After defeating Magnus Carlsen in the play-off for a top-four spot in the prelims and Hikaru Nakamura in the quarterfinals, Arjun Erigaisi failed to convert his chances in the first game against Levon Aronian. Despite facing a difficult position, Aronian held firm and was rewarded when Arjun could not capitalise on his advantage. In the return game, needing only a draw to advance, Aronian played subtly to gain a slight advantage from the opening. As the game settled into a balanced position, it seemed headed for a draw. However, Arjun, requiring a win to stay in the match, took unwarranted risks that cost him dearly. Hans Niemann of the United States was the other player to reach the finals, defeating compatriot Fabiano Caruana. Despite arriving slightly late for the first game, Niemann managed to draw it. Two more draws followed before the younger American outmanoeuvred Caruana with some finely crafted middlegame play. R Praggnanandhaa, who had bowed out of the title race, defeated Vincent Keymer of Germany in the playoff for 3rd-8th place. Praggnanandhaa drew the first game as Black and outplayed Keymer in the return game to register a 1.5-0.5 victory. World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen also won by the same margin against Javokhir Sindarov of Uzbekistan. In other matches, Wesley So of the United States defeated Nodirbek Abdusattorov of Uzbekistan 3-1, while in an all-American duel, Hikaru Nakamura crushed Leinier Dominguez Perez 2-0. Semifinals Results: Arjun Erigaisi (Ind) lost to Levon Aronian (USA) 0-2 Fabiano Caruana (USA) lost to Hans Moke Niemann (USA) 1.5-2.5 Other results: Leinier Dominguez Perez (USA) lost to Hikaru Nakamura (USA) 0-2 Magnus Carlsen (Nor) beat Javokhir Sindarov (Uzb) 1.5-0.5 R Praggnanandhaa beat Vincent Keymer 1.5-0.5 Wesley So (USA) beat Nodirbek Abdusattorov (Uzb) 3-1 First Published: July 19, 2025, 08:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Original Bhi Fail…': Louis Vuitton Bags Gets A Desi Auto Upgrade
Last Updated: Louis Vuitton, as part of its Men's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, brought a handbag that is shaped like an autorickshaw. Louis Vuitton caught desis off guard when it introduced a quirky bag as part of its Men's Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week. While luxury brands often bring out unconventional designs, this one was something else. It was a handbag shaped like an autorickshaw and unsurprisingly, it became a viral sensation online. But what truly shocked everyone was the price tag as it costs a whopping Rs 35 lakh. Now, while some reacted with memes and sarcasm, one woman took things to another level by making her version of the bag and not the LV way. In a reel shared on Instagram, content creator Shweta Mahadik takes a subtle dig at the brand and its viral bag. The video begins with her saying, 'LV chahe Rs 35 lakh ki ye bag le aaye, lekin asli rickshaw ka swag, uski baat hi kuch alag hai (LV can bring out a Rs 35 lakh bag but nothing beats the original rickshaw swag)." And with that line, she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. Shweta then says, 'Maine socha mein es LV bag ka ek desi version banati hoon (I thought I would make a desi version of this LV bag)," as she starts cutting fabric to shape her very own rickshaw bag. She is also seen removing tyres from a toy car so that they can be used as real wheels for the bag. While the LV version was made using the brand's iconic monogram canvas, Shweta decided to stick to what truly defines a rickshaw – its signature colours. She points out that a real rickshaw is incomplete without black, yellow and blue. On the plain black canvas, she starts painting the familiar structure of an autorickshaw. 'Ek desi rickshaw ke jitne bhi elements hote hai, wo saare elements es bag ke upar paint kardiya (Every little detail you see on a desi rickshaw, I painted all of that onto the bag)," she explains. To add a unique touch, she includes characters inside the auto such as passengers in the back seat and a front-seat driver whom she lovingly names Majnu. She also decorates the rickshaw with pretty traditional designs to give it a complete desi feel. And finally, to finish the look, she attaches the tyres to the base. That's it. A bag that (actually) looks like a rickshaw is now complete. She captioned the post with a funny line, 'Bhaaya Bandruh." Watch the video here: Since being posted, the video has gathered over five lakh views and people are loving every bit of it. One user commented, 'Such a cute bag." Another wrote, 'You gotta be kidding me right?! That's incredible — even better than the original LV." 'Desi is better than the OG," someone else remarked while a person expressed, 'It's just awesome." 'Wow, original ko b fail kr diya apne (Wow, you even outdid the original," read another comment. Turns out, Rs 35 lakh can't buy the kind of swag Majnu brings. Agree? view comments First Published: July 12, 2025, 18:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Where do the Buccaneers two Super Bowl wins rank among the best since 2000?
The Super Bowl remains the greatest game and prize in all of sports, sorry to everyone and everything else that has a favorite in something else. It is the most watched game, paired with the best teams and players in the world, all while competing for a legendary trophy and ring to go down in history. Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon took up the monumental task of ranking each Super Bowl-winning team and discussing why they landed where they did. For the Bucs, they have two teams to rank with wins in Super Bowls XXXVII and LV. The Bucs' victory over the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII earned them the seventh spot in the rankings done by Gagnon. He writes up the team's ranking, saying, "The defense was right there with the 2000 Ravens and 2008 Steelers in terms of points allowed (second to only 2000 Baltimore at 196) and yards per play allowed (second to only 2008 Pittsburgh at 4.2). Four members of that unit went on to make the Hall of Fame: Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp, John Lynch, Ronde Barber. And like Baltimore, they obliterated the postseason competition with three blowout victories." Meanwhile, the Bucs' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs buzzsaw in Super Bowl LV got the 11th spot in the rankings. While it is still a respectable number, it falls outside the top ten. Gagnon writes up the positive reasoning behind the rankings, citing, "Only they and the 2009 Saints averaged more than 30 points per game (30.8), as this Tom Brady-led Bucs squad felt a bit like an NFL superteam at times." As for the cons, he explains the Bucs regular season ups and downs held them back from being higher. "Still, they lost a handful of regular-season games and posted a mere 1-4 record against opponents with winning records. And only two defenses on this list (2011 Giants, 2006 Colts) allowed more points per game (22.2), although that unit did get it together down the stretch. They had just one Pro Bowler (Jason Pierre-Paul) and no All-Pros." Interesting argument against the LV team but it is an argument nontheless.
