Louis Vuitton has officially unveiled the 2027 Men’s Ski Collection designed by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams, staging a technical dialogue between alpine performance and metropolitan style. Engineered for seamless transitions from street to slope, the comprehensive wardrobe spans water-repellent sportswear, relaxed après-ski casualwear, and elevated cold-weather eveningwear.
Drawing inspiration from 1990s skiwear, technical garments are engineered from water-repellent, PFAS-free materials complete with waterproof closures, targeted ventilation, insulated compartments for phones and masks, and integrated trouser BOA systems designed for snowboard boots. The outerwear selection highlights a Monogram Macassar parka with matching ripstop-paneled trousers, a technical denim-effect shell set detailed with corduroy accents, and a snowboarding hoodie featuring a water-repellent shell, fleece lining, and an integrated ventilated faceguard.
The après-ski offering shifts into relaxed silhouettes featuring trompe l’oeil effects and workwear elements. Key pieces include a shearling trucker jacket printed to imitate denim, a fleece jersey jacket imitating cable knit, and an intarsia blouson displaying the mountain-inspired LV Summit pattern. Bringing eveningwear into alpine terrain, a loden jacket is woven from double-face wool and metallic lurex to produce a glistening snow appearance, paired with cotton corduroy trousers featuring Monogram satin turn-ups. Motifs including Monogram Argyle, snowflake jacquards, and an LV Skier graphic extend across base layers, scarves, beanies, and eyewear such as the LV Frost Ski Mask.
Luggage and footwear are re-engineered with cold-weather durability. Glistening white Monogram Reflective canvas details bags like the Keepall 25, Discovery backpack, and Trio Messenger, while tan shearling and blue suede trompe l’oeil leather adorn the Christopher backpack and Speedy P9 30. Footwear offerings introduce a water-repellent, glacier-toned LV Trainer in nubuck and rubber, shearling-lined iterations, LV City Ranger combat boots, and debossed suede LV Easy slip-ons.
