Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 Pre-Collection Steps Into the British Countryside
Louis Vuitton unveils its Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 Pre-Collection campaign with an unmistakably poetic nod to heritage dressing. Designed by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams, the collection examines the elegant tension between countryside nostalgia and the curiosity of a modern traveler.
The campaign follows Friend of the House Jude Bellingham and House Ambassador Callum Turner through an idyllic British landscape. Their presence anchors a narrative that affectionately ties sartorial legacy to contemporary versatility, with styling rooted in tailoring, athletic ease, and a refined sense of play. They appear framed by topiary gardens, historic steps, and a classic convertible, hinting at a journey that honors the past while looking ahead with intention.
Accessories Tell Their Own Story
The LV Tilted sneaker brings skater nostalgia into a luxury orbit. A padded tongue carries a tilted LV mark, balanced with a flat rubber sole detailed in the Damier pattern. Casual, collectible, and studiously engineered, the shoe introduces a carefree spirit beneath polished silhouettes.
Leather goods continue the house’s legacy of artisanal savoir-faire. The LV Touch line showcases practical daily companions crafted in supple grained calfskin trimmed with raw-cut suede, delivered in both backpack and bag formats for refined, hands-free travel.
Classic Tailoring, New Energy
Pharrell Williams reinterprets time-honored menswear codes with a light touch. Prince of Wales LV Monogram suiting, sharp-shouldered herringbone overcoats, and three-piece virgin wool tailoring are cut with softened structure that drapes and flares with quiet confidence. The silhouettes feel approachable, even relaxed, while maintaining the precision of fine European suitmaking.
These pieces transition seamlessly into more casual staples. Ribbed sailor-collar zip-ups, flannels, denim, and hybrid outerwear like a leather-sleeved windbreaker or tweed-shelled blouson articulate a layered narrative of movement and modern utility. Quilted gilets and softened workwear add texture to the lineup, offering range for both city life and countryside holidays.
A Charming Nod to Four-Legged Muses
One of the campaign’s most memorable elements is the pet accessory capsule, modeled by distinguished British breeds including Welsh Corgis, English Cocker Spaniels, and Border Collies. The selection blends whimsy with craftsmanship.
Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 Pre-CollectionOfferings include Monogram leather leashes, collars, harnesses, breed-specific cleanup bag dispensers, puffer jackets, fleece throws, and an array of travel-ready carriers such as the Speedy Pet Trunk, the Malle Chien, the Kennel Trunk, the Neverfull for pets, the Sac Chien, the Dog Bed Trunk, and a pet backpack. The result is an invitation for pets to embrace a life of exquisite comfort with signature Louis Vuitton refinement.
Campaign Launch and Availability
The collection’s visual universe is expressed through images and film captured by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, rendered with a documentary-style warmth that elevates both the British setting and the personalities at its center. The campaign debuts across Louis Vuitton’s digital channels October 30, with print insertions beginning October 31.
The first product delivery is available in stores beginning October 30, with a second drop rolling out November 11.
