The world of fashion and the world of outdoor sports are not separate worlds, but every once in a while a designer or company will take it too far at a fashion show, and this seems like it might be one of those cases.
At the recent Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring-Summer 2027 Show during Paris Fashion Week, Louis Vuitton presented a bizarre outfit combo, including a presumably near-useless wetsuit and an exclusive Pinarello Dogma F road bike carried like a regular old accessory by a model.
Pharrell Williams, serving as the Men’s Creative Director for Louis Vuitton, collaborated with the cycling brand to create the luxury item. It features a leather-covered saddle and handlebars, exclusive chrome-finished fork and cockpit components, and a paint scheme designed to match Louis Vuitton’s signature color pallet.
According to Pinarello, the bike is meant to represent the “ultimate meeting point between elite sport and luxury design“. It’s set to be offered exclusively through Louis Vuitton boutiques.
You likely won’t be seeing this Louis Vuitton Dogma F on the streets anytime soon, but the Dogma F in general is certainly out there. Personally I’m not big into the world of high fashion, so my opinion on this design shouldn’t hold much weight, but I would argue the standard Dogma F designs are much prettier than this bike.
