Louis Vuitton Men Pre-Fall 2025 Collection Lensed by Ollie Ali for Flaunt Magazine 199 AOC Fashion

Flaunt Magazine [IG] Issue 199, ‘Fleeting Twilight’ shares key looks from the Louis Vuitton Men’s Pre-Fall 2025 Collection. Creative Director Pharrell Williams previewed the collection in Miami December 2024, with the upcoming Met Gala dandy aesthetic on his mind.

I just reviewed again Jonathan Anderson’s swoon-worthy debut men’s collection for Christian Dior, and like Pharrell, he also tapped the ‘young aristocrats’ trend. Anderson added skirts for men and nipping his waists with overtly-femme swagger and white bow ties.

Louis Vuitton Men Compared to The Absolutely-Brilliant Jonathan Anderson Dior Mens Debut

Pharrell played his ties straight and long, Anderson likes bows. Both designers did white ties and the Louis Vuitton man does go to the office to afford his wardrobe preferences. He’s a working man. Anderson’s Dior man is a trust fund kid — or maybe the growing number of men — at least in America — living at home with parents.

Dandyism is a design key to writing about both collections — Dior Spring 2026 and Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2025. Yes, Pharrell was off to India with lean and long fluidity for his Spring 2026 collection, which AOC loved.

There’s no reason to believe these guys are intellectuals walking around with books tucked under their arm. We’re close to burning books in America — especially books about ‘men’ in skirts. Sorry Scotland and select members of the British aristocracy.
