Louis Vuitton's SS25 Men's Collection Is a Paean to Late South Korean Painter Park Seo-Bo
Louis Vuitton launches Fall, a Men’s Capsule Collection released in September 2024. Founded in the dandy elegance at the heart of the practice of Pharrell Williams, the proposal hones the switching of dress codes instinctive to the Maison’s menswear in a versatile and transversal wardrobe suspended between city life and weekend getaways. Riffing on the philosophy introduced by the Men’s Creative Director for the runway collection in June 2024, the capsule focuses on macro versus micro visions of color, construction, and surface decoration, inviting the eye to zoom in and out to discover the savoir-faire that permeates every garment and accessory. The premise inspires a creative exchange with the Estate of the late South Korean painter Park Seo-Bo – known for his minimalist yet graphically impactful lines – across ready-to-wear, leather goods and shoes. Before his passing in 2023, Park Seo-Bo previously collaborated with Louis Vuitton on the ArtyCapucines project in 2019.
