Pharrell Williams continues to frame Louis Vuitton as a house in motion. The fall-winter 2026 Trunk Edition takes the brand’s original object, the trunk, and turns it into a system for dressing men who live in permanent transit.

Photographed by Louise & Maria Thornfeldt and styled by Matthew Henson, the campaign places luggage at the center of the image, the clothing surfacing from the same materials, linings, and hardware that once sat inside it.

A brown nubuck trucker jacket borrows the suede Louis Vuitton uses to line its trunks, while camel cashmere outerwear and silk-blend denim workwear pick up the faded blues of interior canvas.

Across the collection, Williams collapses the distinction between luggage and clothing. Garments look made for the same environments as the trunks themselves: airports, hotel corridors, long-haul dinners, and resort terraces.

The new LV Touch bags continue the shift toward softer travel utility. The Steamer 30, Verso Hobo, and Delta Slingbag shrink the architecture of Vuitton trunks into forms shaped for movement instead of display. V-shaped hardware and reinforced panels preserve the house codes, though the overall mood feels functional first, ceremonial second.

Williams’ menswear at Louis Vuitton increasingly circles back to the house’s original purpose. Before LV became a global luxury symbol, it made objects designed to move through the world. The Trunk Edition revives that logic for a generation of wealthy men whose lives unfold between terminals, drivers, lounges, and hotels, where clothing is expected to travel as smoothly as luggage.

Pharrell Williams’ previous Louis Vuitton arc shows up in Jeremy Allen White and Pusha T’s earlier campaign for the house, where the trunks stayed in the background.
