Louis Vuitton Looks East with Paris to India for Spring/Summer 2026
by Anna Barr
Pharrell Williams presented Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection against a massive Moksha Patam aka Snakes and Ladders set with Wemby, Bradley Cooper, Humbe, and Jay Z among the front row as the Centre Pompidou as the backdrop as models walked out to the Voices of Fire and l’Orchestre du Pont Neuf.
Reflecting on the codes of dandyism, the collection draws on the impact of contemporary Indian sartorialism with fabrics, cuts, colors, and craftsmanship that are influenced by a relationship to the city, the natural world, and the sun’s vibrancy. The idea of a global community bound by a love of discernment, savoir-faire, and adventure is at the core of Louis Vuitton as a house of travel.
Denim is printed with the checks of the dapper wardrobe in creative ways, such as metal yarn, boucle, and chenille. As a fresh take on the traditional indigo blue denim wash, a brown denim wash modeled after coffee beans is suggested. Elegant checks appear in sportswear and lightweight outerwear. Performance and workwear are emblazoned with stripes, which are the symbol of both suits and pajamas. However, it was the color schemes of Indian nature and urban landscapes that really took fold. Black is replaced by a dandy-like purple indigo made from navy and violet, while light beige is the new camel.
Furthering the theme of the collection, Louis Vuitton’s The Darjeeling Limited pattern, referencing the 2007 set in India, is emblazoned on eleven pieces of luggage. Accessories like semi-tan vegetable leather bags with conventional white travel numbers similar to the movie’s and an L.V.M. emblem (Louis Vuitton Malletier) in place of the protagonists’ initials are also adorned with it. Additionally, the pattern is found on LV x The Darjeeling Limited bags, embroidered on a denim Speedy P9 and a canvas Speedy 25, screen-printed across icons on a heritage Damier canvas, and embossed and screen-printed across historical shapes on semi-tan vegetable leather. In addition to a new Needle bag and updated Nil bag dimensions brought back from the archives, Louis Vuitton Malletier bags are made from aged silky-smooth, incredibly supple calfskin. It didn’t stop there, with the LV x The Darjeeling Limited motif on sneakers, hiking boots, loafers, and derbies.
