Pharrell Williams Louis Vuitton Debut

June 21, 2023

Paris men's week? More like Pharis men's week. Last night, newly appointed Men's Creative Director Pharrell's first runway show for Louis Vuitton started us off right. The presentation was staged on the Pont Neuf but natives insist that the show’s energy was felt throughout the city. Perhaps it was the massive billboard of Rihanna and her baby bump, plastered on the Musée d’Orsay overlooking the famous Seine River, or the sound of the world's largest (and first?) gospel nightclub that made it feel as if Pharrell casually bridged the gap between French and American cultures right there, on the oldest bridge in Paris.

Strutting down in classic varsity jackets and Mary Janes amplified by Parisian confection, the models’ growing foot-traffic was reminiscent of the streets of NYC during rush hour. But the star detail of the show was not the touches of Americanism that reminded us of the designer’s roots. It was his reinterpretation of Louis Vuitton’s classic Damier chess board pattern, reimagined by pixel artist ET and distributed across a wide range of outerwear, pajamas, and tailoring — signaling new directions for the luxury house.

Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela reveal their first capsule collection

November 12, 2024

Dr. Martens and MM6 Maison Margiela have teamed up for the first time to launch a Fall/Winter capsule collection that reinvents classic footwear with a fresh twist. The collection combines four iconic Dr. Martens styles—the 1460 and 1490 boots, the 1461 shoe, and the Penton loafer—into three unique hybrid designs, each with MM6’s special touch.

Revealed at MM6 Maison Margiela’s AW24 show, these designs mix familiar Dr. Martens silhouettes in surprising ways, adding bold new details. Each piece has Dr. Martens’ signature yellow stitching and AirWair heel loop, along with MM6’s unique numbered imprint.

The Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela collection launches November 19 on both brands’ websites, in select MM6 stores, and at limited retailers.
