Pharrell and Nigo debuted a noted ‘dandy streetwear’ collection at fashion week.
Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2025 show marked a significant moment in fashion, showcasing a collection that beautifully blends dandy streetwear with elements of Japanese culture.
This highly anticipated event kicked off Paris Fashion Week on January 22, 2025, at the Cour Carrée du Louvre, where the duo unveiled a captivating array of styles that drew inspiration from both their personal histories and the rich legacy of Louis Vuitton.
The collection, described as “Remember the Future,” reflects a thoughtful dialogue between past and present. It features silhouettes that evoke early 2000s streetwear while simultaneously embracing the elegance of dandyism. The designs include tailored pieces that are disrupted by bold leather goods and accessories, creating a striking juxtaposition between refined craftsmanship and contemporary street style. The show highlighted workwear-inspired silhouettes, reimagining traditional garments worn by engineers, chefs, and gardeners into high-fashion statements.
A standout aspect of the presentation was the incorporation of vibrant Japanese motifs throughout the collection. This cultural homage pays tribute to Nigo’s roots and his extensive archive of historical clothing, which informed many of the designs. The duo’s shared history in streetwear is evident in pieces like oversized patchwork denim jackets and colorful accessories that invite a younger audience to engage with luxury fashion in a fresh way.
The runway was not only a showcase of clothing but also an artistic installation featuring twenty-four display cases filled with archival items from Pharrell and Nigo’s personal collections. These artifacts were revealed during the finale, offering a glimpse into the cultural moments that have shaped their creative journeys. The auction of these items through JOOPITER, Pharrell’s digital auction house, adds another layer of excitement to this unique event.
Attendees included a star-studded lineup featuring celebrities like Travis Scott and Pusha T, who contributed to the electric atmosphere of the show. The soundtrack for the event further enhanced the experience, featuring original tracks produced by Pharrell alongside classical pieces performed by L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf.
