The set for Louis Vuitton\u2019s Spring Summer 2027 menswear show was a giant wave cresting over a sandy runway \u2014 the kind of pipe that big wave surfers dream of \u2014 out of which marched a stream of neutral and pastel-hued dandies in what may just be one of designer Pharrell<\/a> Williams\u2019s most successful collections to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wave is the great equalizer,\u201d said the show notes. \u201cOn coasts around the world, the same impulse draws humans towards the tide: towards the monumental force of water, and the rebalancing rhythm of the ride. Guided by surfing as a worldwide way of life that transcends culture and creed, the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2027 Men\u2019s Collection embraces the sea and shore as spaces of universal human belonging. Water courses through the show as a representation of life, opportunity and connection to nature. As the moon \u2013 the wavemaker \u2013 appears on the Parisian evening sky, the collection emerges from a great wave emblematic of the equilibrium that unites the surfing community and the world it navigates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hand-spun textures and sea-centric embellishments are present throughout the collection as wet-suits are paired with classic tailoring in traditional wool and performance tech fabrics. Acid colors and checkerboard motifs are inspired by surf culture and skateboarding, which the show notes describe as \u201ca formative and enduring influence for [Pharrell].\u201d<\/p>\n

At times, the homage to these subcultures was so complete as to feel like little more that a high a high-fashion dupe \u2014 as in the case of the sneakers that looked almost exactly like Vans<\/a> and the boots that might as well have been a collaboration with Ugg<\/a> \u2014 but the clothes offered enough interest, newness, and specialness to overcome the creative shortcomings of much of the footwear. And in a season when brands like Prada are being praised for going all-in on clothes so tight no one over the age of 22 could ever hope to fit into them, it\u2019s nice to see Williams embracing a looser, more laid back, wearable, and, frankly, more appealing silhouette. And just more beautiful clothes overall.<\/p>\n
