Pharrell's Take on Louis Vuitton Gets Worse
On LV's cowboy chic — out now in The New York Sun
“This collection resembles a bad fashion student’s corny graduation project, or an AI runway video of “what if Louis Vuitton made workwear?” It sounds like a bad joke, and in practice, is all the less pleasant, as models walked the runway in fringed leather jackets and knockoff Carhartt coats and belts with exaggerated gothic fonts, all inscribed with the Louis Vuitton signature. And yes, there were cowboy boots and hats; items that Louis Vuitton will inevitably sell, with four-figure price tags. If the concept of a luxury brand plagiarizing the style of working ranchers strikes you as distasteful, you’re not alone.”
