In his latest creative chapter for Louis Vuitton Men’s, Pharrell Williams continues to reshape the codes of luxury menswear through innovation, craftsmanship, and a distinctly modern worldview. The 2026 Men’s Ski Collection embodies this evolution—merging technical precision and sartorial sophistication to create a line that transcends the slopes. Rooted in the LVERS ideology, the collection celebrates a lifestyle defined by global connectedness, quality, and discernment, reflecting the mindset of a community united through style and purpose.

Pharrell’s approach to design has always been about more than aesthetics—it’s about energy, movement, and cultural resonance. With this new collection, he elevates alpine attire into a realm where functionality meets elegance, where technical apparel and tailored design coexist effortlessly under the banner of Louis Vuitton’s heritage of excellence.

At the heart of the collection lies a series of twelve authentic skiwear garments, each crafted with the meticulous attention to detail that defines the House’s craftsmanship. Engineered for performance, these pieces feature waterproof and water-repellent materials, advanced ventilation systems, insulated compartments for masks and phones, and integrated trouser BOA systems for snowboard boots.

Among the highlights, a ski suit in the LV Tartan Pixel motif reinterprets the traditional plaid pattern through a digital lens, uniting heritage with high-altitude modernity. Another standout piece—a technical ski suit emblazoned with the LV Cursive signature—gives the illusion of denim, blurring the line between everyday wear and mountain attire. A water-repellent jacket designed to resemble a beige corduroy blazer embodies Pharrell’s philosophy of merging performance with refinement.

Each design represents a new balance between the dandy aesthetic of the Louis Vuitton Studio Homme and the functional needs of alpine exploration, resulting in garments that are as stylish in Aspen as they are on Avenue Montaigne.

The collection extends beyond pure skiwear, embracing a transversal wardrobe that seamlessly transitions between mountain life and city living. Drawing inspiration from outdoor and trail apparel, Pharrell introduces hybrid pieces with detachable sleeves, modular trouser legs, and adjustable strap belts.

Packable windbreakers, quilted outerwear, and mixed-material performance trousers emphasize adaptability, reflecting a new era of luxury that values movement and versatility. The après-ski range pushes this further—fur-effect jackets, shearling truckers, cashmere-blend coats, and mink bombers redefine winter opulence with textures that evoke both warmth and prestige. Even the knitwear carries a sense of couture craftsmanship, detailed with Monogram Flower accents that quietly nod to the brand’s emblematic identity.

Pharrell’s alpine vision expands into accessories that bridge practicality and high design. The LV Yeti snow boot returns in intarsia shearling Monogram and metallic gunmetal leather, offering tactile luxury with rugged appeal. The LV Remix hiking boot, crafted in all-black hydro leather, and the LV Trainer Maxi in shearling with wool laces, extend the capsule’s exploration of elevated sport utility.

The LV Frost ski mask, inspired by the brand’s Trunk heritage, appears in beige-and-brown and black-and-white variations, each fitted with interchangeable Damier and Plain lenses for a customizable look. A black fleece beanie and LV Crush chenille bouclé wool beanie with a matching scarf complete the alpine uniform, while a Monogram shearling scarf adapts motifs from Louis Vuitton’s leather goods and footwear collections, unifying the aesthetic language across categories.

Extending Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship to the art of travel, Pharrell introduces bags that reinterpret alpine textures and illusions. Nylon with trompe-l’œil denim effects shapes the Christopher Sport backpack and XL Rush Bumbag, each detailed with heritage leather trims and engineered for movement. A futuristic line of metallic gunmetal PVC bags, embossed with the Monogram pattern, mirrors the reflective sheen of snow, offering sculptural silhouettes across Christopher backpacks, Keepall duffels, and Shopper totes.

Perhaps the most statement-making of all is the Speedy P9 in grey shearling, where a magnified Monogram rendered in intarsia transforms an icon of luxury into an artifact of modern craftsmanship.

The Louis Vuitton 2026 Men’s Ski Collection is more than a seasonal release—it’s a vision of how men’s fashion can adapt to every environment without sacrificing artistry or intention. Pharrell Williams continues to build a world that bridges culture, performance, and craftsmanship, where the spirit of the mountain meets the rhythm of the street.
