Honestly, I LOVE this collection! The gold speedy is beautiful and really wearable. I also found the RTW to be actually wearable and the navy hues really rich and lovely. I think Pharrell is doing a great job, I’m certainly more interested in pieces these days!
I like the collection. Some of the bags like the speedy with the pins & that big black hobo bag I really liked. The khaki p9 was the best one Ive seen. The colour looked better with the brown vechetta
Why is there so much hate for this video??? She just isn’t the biggest fan. Who cares? There’s nothing wrong with not liking his designs. The subtle accusations towards Jess are horrible and uncalled for. She says nothing offensive in the vid
I would prefer the LV collection than Hermes.. Hermes just basic and boring.. idk why people gagged over the most basic looking design.. like make it fun 😢😢
Talking about charms. The Prada 2012? collection featured all these beautiful iconic luggage tags that were used as bag charms. There was a Knife, A Sun, Hibiscus flowers, PinUpGirl, and some others with the theme of travel and danger... I bought them all that season...you had to go to all the stores to find them all.. I live in NYC at the time. That was the first time I saw the bag charms on the runway in an interesting way.
The only thing I liked was the acrylic flower trunks, so beautiful! Is that pink damier side trunk part of this collection or something from the past? That's cute too.
The Lobster for those in the Know references Flaneur Fin De Cycle Paris. There is an image of a flaneur walking a Lobster on the street on a leash. Also, I hate, I mean hate exotic skins. Makes me sick. I can understand Leather since so many people eat cows... not me... but yeah... exotics are just awful sadistic treatment of animals for fashion. Also the Trunks are turning into just tired antique furniture. Boring. Tired. and Useless. So disappointed. Also Jess Louis Vuitton REDDIT has become riddled with LV propaganda. I think the call centers have taken over the Louis Vuitton Reddit.
Sounds like you’re looking for that huh, and then implying that Jess didn’t like the collection bc Pharrell is a rapper? Or black? When did she “seemingly” imply that? But you’re totally right tho, there is nothing wrong with giving opinions, even if they are condescending and biased, like yours.
Joy, the demand for racism is outstripping the supply. There’s a racism deficit here. You’re looking for it where there is none to be found. Get a life. 😊
As soon as I saw the model with the white graffiti jacket, I was like he's ripping off the Sprouse Collection, he saw how Marc did his for his line last year. Stephen did that print for Marc a long time ago and Marc still asked his family for the licensing rights to use it. I did comment underneath one of Merediths videos about maybe a Sprouse re release and she said no not at all. Its him looking back at LV history it was heavily Marc influenced with the denim pieces. He has been using the Nil bag quite a bit I also saw it in a black leather version. The Ebene speedys are part of the P9s no? They are leather not canvas, same as the Frankenstein drip bags. This collection was not cohesive, it felt hurried. He did Spring Blossoms, why not bring over Murakami Canvas for some of the bags to go on the Eclipse or the Ebene speedys instead of his head. He is a bit of a one trick pony he just has the P9, when you think of the early 00s you realise, no matter how controversial Kanye is he should of had the Menswear after Virgil passed. He would have pushed the brand to new heights, he was the original LV boy of the 2000s. He still has an ongoing friendship with Murakami who did his graduation album artwork. An LV collab with those 2 would be 🤩
Hot take but the only elevated classy LV items are the old school trunks and some select classic bags, otherwise LV is hypebeast stuff, like Gucci/Fendi/Dior. I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S HOW I FEEL IN MY HEART.
It was too busy and quirky for me, but it will appeal to younger guys in different regions of the world, I guess? There are so many references. It feels like it is pushing the envelope on extra.
I really like my Billionaire Boys Timberlands. They are better than the originals. They are possibly my favorite pair and I've had many variations. I like what Pharrell is doing and I thought I wouldn't cuz he always seemed tacky to me.
I like it but it’s too pricey and I hate that for me. But on another note I saw a sneak peak of a light pink denim key cles. Please tell me you have the 411 on this drop. I need it and hopefully it’s not part of Pharrell’s collection because if so I won’t be able to get it😢
Oh I LOVE the graffiti!!! And now it says Tokyo and has kanji?! I’m all in. I will forgo all Murakami for an updated graffiti piece. I didn’t like anything else especially the lobster..uh no. Even if someone gifted me that bag I wouldn’t want it. Also the speedy p9 with the darker vachetta is a no for me as well. I feel like a lot of very cheap fakes have that darker/brown vachetta. Not a fan.
I like the denim bags hoping for a 20 or xs small keepall. The Damier Ebene bags I dont know why the faces on the bag a big noooo. The bag charms to me is a distraction and makes the bag look heavy.
I got a soft spot for the P9 but, the warm vachetta just dont melt nice with the cool undertone of the lime yellow, turquoise, pink or purple bag. I got to touch a P9 and the vachetta was already scratched by someone else and it made me question the quality of the delicate vachetta. I can't deal with vachetta, treated or not...
They are real flowers! I loved those flower trunks too. They’re like 300-500k euro apiece, so if anyone wants to lend me 1.2 million euros… I appreciate your contextualizing what we saw in the show, because I’m not a big follower of capital-F Fashion. I don’t care for the darker vachetta(?) with the lighter colors-I think it would’ve worked better with something more saturated. I hate the jorts/cargo shorts too. And I really don’t get the leather dust bag thing. Like shopper totes I get, because you might otherwise be walking around in public with a shopping bag. In what context would you be walking around outside with a dust bag?
The flower trunks look beautiful and the khaki P9. I think the lobster is too much of an inside joke to be popular with the rest of us. Did I see a pink damier pattern? Imagine if we see a leather pink & white damier collection for summer in a few years! Do you think that would sell better than the damier azur?
The referencing to other fashion houses seems a bit off. The one bag is clearly him turning their dustbag into a bag like the shopping bag, not the Chanel 19. There is no design house doing anything groundbreaking. And all the houses flat out replicate each other (east west bags, The Row Margaux bag)
My favorite LV mens' was Pre-Fall and Fall 2024. This SP25 was a fail. I really wanted to like it. Basically, I loved the Beach Culture Stuff and the Western Stuff. Not loving this stuff. I'm with you Jessie, and looking at Hermes. The prices at LV are just not worth it. Hermes is looking like a bargain.
Glad you take the time to cover Menswear for Louis Vuitton, but EACH of your videos have been SO negative. It seems like you are just being overly critical because it’s Pharrell…I wonder what you would’ve said when it was Kim Jones or Marc Jacobs. Plus have you even bought anything from his collections? This man has people like me spending over $12k on Speedy bags that are incredible - I doubt any other CD could’ve pulled that off on the men’s side. Maybe rethink your approach/biases…🙏❤️
Hi Jess! I pretty much like pink anything. But I don't like all the hip hop styling. Not my vibe. Also, calling something 'millionaire boys club' is ostentatious and gross. I go classic. I only like bling on a small evening bag. *Edits to add*...I mean when designers and collaboraters say 'millionaire boys club'. I don't mean that Jess said that. I saw the same designation by a designer talking about accesories full of bling on a series called 'In Vogue' on Hulu. They mentioned the 'billionaire boys club'. Mostly they meant super rich rappers.
From distance the lobster 🦞 looks like a 🍆 with balls...excuse me but that was the first thing I thought when seeing the lobster before understanding it was a lobster 🙈
Honestly, I LOVE this collection! The gold speedy is beautiful and really wearable. I also found the RTW to be actually wearable and the navy hues really rich and lovely. I think Pharrell is doing a great job, I’m certainly more interested in pieces these days!
Me too! I absolutely love his collections and I think they are very creative. I have changed from Chanels boring collections to Pharrell's lV world.
I don't understand why men's collection have better colors than women's. 😅 Why won't they make pink speedy for women?
Yes! Where are the fun and pretty women's ready to wear!!!
I think the little pink shopping bag is super cute!
I love the pink speedy omgggg
I like the collection. Some of the bags like the speedy with the pins & that big black hobo bag I really liked. The khaki p9 was the best one Ive seen. The colour looked better with the brown vechetta
Yes, I thought the green was the best shade with the brown too.
Why is there so much hate for this video??? She just isn’t the biggest fan. Who cares? There’s nothing wrong with not liking his designs. The subtle accusations towards Jess are horrible and uncalled for. She says nothing offensive in the vid
Thanks Jessie that was fun to watch😊
Thanks Jess, great video. Excellent overview of the collection.
I love the navy blue leather speedy ❤
I would prefer the LV collection than Hermes.. Hermes just basic and boring.. idk why people gagged over the most basic looking design.. like make it fun 😢😢
Bc most people have no personal style. I agree with you!
That’s the point of bag charms to showcase your personal style
That Loewe look bag charm you referred to on the speedy is actually the Snake for Chinese New Year 2025

Oh, I would like to check out
I love this collection. Wow

Im in love with it all! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
There's nothing wrong with giving opinions, but this post drips with condescension and bias, seemingly because of who and what Pharrell is.

@ Who said anything about race other than you? 🤣
those bag pins remind me of what Coach is already doing with their leather bags customization.
Love the Game On bandeau Jess. Just started watching I have comments been waiting for this.
As soon as I saw the model with the white graffiti jacket, I was like he's ripping off the Sprouse Collection, he saw how Marc did his for his line last year.

I wonder why even cover LV when so many of your thoughts are negative?
Agreed!!❤️ She is so negative when it comes to Pharrell.
Hot take but the only elevated classy LV items are the old school trunks and some select classic bags, otherwise LV is hypebeast stuff, like Gucci/Fendi/Dior. I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S HOW I FEEL IN MY HEART.
I agree somewhat, but I think a lot is how it’s styled too
@@sams3015 True. Very true.
It was too busy and quirky for me, but it will appeal to younger guys in different regions of the world, I guess? There are so many references. It feels like it is pushing the envelope on extra.

Nice review ❤😊

To me the collection seemed all over the place. I liked a couple pieces but nothing I will try and get.
Yeah I think he needs to stay on theme. They have way too much going on
I like the denim bags hoping for a 20 or xs small keepall. The Damier Ebene bags I dont know why the faces on the bag a big noooo. The bag charms to me is a distraction and makes the bag look heavy.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just like the pink bags mostly. At least they're doing fun designs, I'm sick of boring bags!
I agree with you, I don’t personally like anything from the collection. Definitely not for me… a bit underwhelming
I got a soft spot for the P9 but, the warm vachetta just dont melt nice with the cool undertone of the lime yellow, turquoise, pink or purple bag. I got to touch a P9 and the vachetta was already scratched by someone else and it made me question the quality of the delicate vachetta. I can't deal with vachetta, treated or not...
Chanel did a couple of bags with pins and charms on them.

The collections were far from boring.. they were out there.. 😂😂
The flower trunks look beautiful and the khaki P9. I think the lobster is too much of an inside joke to be popular with the rest of us. Did I see a pink damier pattern? Imagine if we see a leather pink & white damier collection for summer in a few years! Do you think that would sell better than the damier azur?
as man do not like it going crazy for coach cherries haha got min Id card case zip. around card case and long zip wallet

Im am sure he would probably prefer to not have the picture with PDiddy resurface.

“What rappers would wear” sounds very opinionated and unnecessary!
Great review Jess, once again. Love your work
I AM A GUY I HATE IT ALL THEY NEED TO FIRE PHARRELL
you just like those cutesy style designs , this show was not for u i guess?
Not loving this collection
Me either
Not impressed
Ugly expensive bags... Good thing for my bank account 😂😂
Hi Jess! I pretty much like pink anything. But I don't like all the hip hop styling. Not my vibe. Also, calling something 'millionaire boys club' is ostentatious and gross. I go classic. I only like bling on a small evening bag.

LV is boring atm. Loved your info on Japanese fashion styles.
They went fishing and caught a lobster. I’m into the lobster the story behind almost makes me not like it.
From distance the lobster 🦞 looks like a 🍆 with balls...excuse me but that was the first thing I thought when seeing the lobster before understanding it was a lobster 🙈
Not an original idea to be seen. It all looks like garbage to me. 🤷🏽♀️
Not for me 😅
