"His Autumn/Winter 2026 show took place around an ergonomic wood and moulded glass edifice he named the Drophaus , presumably so-called because you can bung it anywhere and it's ready to go, like a pop-up Glastonbury tent but far more glamorous (and, indeed, expensive)."
"Inside our crate, however, was pretty deluxe and delightful. William's pod-like, Le Corbusier -ean "machine for living in" sat in its own Louis Vuitton petit jardin (specially-scented by house master parfumier Jacques Cavallier Belletrud). The glass house was populated by furniture, designed by Williams too, and, of course, open-plan wardrobes full of his Vuitton clothes. What a dream house."
"Vuitton is one of those too - probably the most valuable luxury house on the planet. Its success gives a designer license to explore their creativity. Much of that success, frankly, can be traced to the seemingly indefatigable demand for Vuitton's bags, in particular its Monogram, which, unless you were shot into space sometime in the past six months, you'll realise are celebrating 130 years."
Pharrell Williams presented an Autumn/Winter 2026 show centered on an ergonomic wood and moulded glass Drophaus. The Drophaus sat inside a gargantuan wooden freight crate air-lifted into the grounds of the Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Bois de Boulogne. The glass pod resembled a Le Corbusier "machine for living in" and occupied a petit jardin scented by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The interior contained Williams-designed furniture and open-plan wardrobes of Louis Vuitton clothing. Louis Vuitton's commercial strength, especially its Monogram bags celebrating 130 years, underpins creative license for design experimentation. Williams titled the collection Timeless and reimagined house classics through refreshed materials and reflective fabrics.
