Pharrell Williams and Nigo brought a fresh yet sophisticated perspective to Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection.

Artisanal denim, tailored suits, and Japanese-inspired silhouettes showcased their deep appreciation for craftsmanship and cultural exchange.

COMME des GARÇONS Homme Plus
Rei Kawakubo’s “To Hell with War” collection for Fall/Winter 2025 was a bold critique of conflict. Exaggerated military-inspired silhouettes, deconstructed tailoring, and chaotic prints set a rebellious tone. Slogans like “No War” and dark hues of black, khaki, and red emphasized the anti-war message. Combat boots and distorted uniforms added to the militaristic theme, while Kawakubo’s avant-garde approach turned the collection into a powerful commentary on peace and resistance.
Kenzo
Nigo, as Kenzo’s artistic director, continued to explore the brand’s Japanese roots while infusing his streetwear expertise. The collection combined relaxed tailoring with bold prints, including traditional floral motifs and abstract graphics. Knitwear took center stage, featuring intricate patterns and oversized silhouettes that felt both cozy and modern. The show emphasized wearability without sacrificing creativity, demonstrating Nigo’s skill in balancing heritage and innovation.
Prada
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons delivered a bold, eclectic collection that defied traditional menswear norms. The Fall/Winter 2025 runway showcased an unpredictable mix of Western-inspired boots, oversized fur coats, plaid robes, mechanic-style jackets, and skin-tight trousers. Vibrant colors and unconventional layering created an energetic, almost chaotic aesthetic that celebrated individuality and spontaneity. The collection felt instinctual and unfiltered, offering a refreshing take on menswear that encouraged personal expression. Prada’s willingness to push boundaries while maintaining its signature sophistication left a lasting impression.
