"Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2026 men's show unfolds around the DROPHAUS, a prefabricated architectural environment conceived by Pharrell Williams in collaboration with the Japanese hospitality firm NOT A HOTEL. Installed at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris, the structure becomes a speculative domestic landscape through which the collection is narrated. Presented as a wooden freight crate that opens to reveal a droplet-shaped home, the DROPHAUS stages a vision of 'timeless living,' framing the core ideas of the collection around endurance, utility, and material experimentation."
"Instead of proposing the future as a distant abstraction, the show situates it in the familiar setting of a house in a garden. The prefabricated home is imagined as a dwelling for the Louis Vuitton dandy of the near future, where domestic rituals, architecture, furniture, scent, and clothing converge. Williams designs the interiors with his own HOMEWORK furniture pieces, whose rough, craggy geometries emphasize the role of the human hand."
Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2026 men's show centers on the DROPHAUS, a prefabricated droplet-shaped residence conceived by Pharrell Williams with NOT A HOTEL. The structure, installed at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris, is presented as a wooden freight crate that opens to reveal a droplet-shaped home and stages a vision of timeless living focused on endurance, utility, and material experimentation. The prefabricated home imagines domestic rituals for a near-future Louis Vuitton dandy, integrating architecture, furniture, scent, and clothing. Interiors feature Williams' HOMEWORK furniture with rough, craggy geometries that emphasize the human hand. The droplet motif recurs in rounded volumes, crystal embellishments, ripple-molded soles, and splash-like surfaces.
