This bicycle was born to race. It ended up on the catwalk.
Louis Vuitton took a Pinarello Dogma F to the Paris catwalk. Carbon, leather, chrome and racing engineering come together in a bicycle that may be a little too desirable ever to see the tarmac.
A bicycle designed to win races entered Paris Fashion Week without touching the ground. At the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2027 menswear show, the new Dogma F created with Pinarello appeared carried on a model’s shoulder. The image said it all: that object belonged as much on the catwalk as on the road.
The project was born from the Dogma F, one of the brand’s most renowned competition models from the Italian marque, and was designed by Pharrell Williams, Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director. The structure retains its high-performance vocation, while the Maison intervenes where it knows best: in the materials, the surface and the desire. The saddle and handlebars have been upholstered in leather, the fork and cockpit feature a chrome finish, and the paintwork was developed in an exclusive palette, with details completed by hand.
The technical component has not been toned down to fit the setting. The bike uses a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic groupset, Continental GrandPrix 5000S TR tyres, a CeramicSpeed aerodynamic system and three-spoke Princeton CarbonWorks wheels, also finished with references to the Monogram. Beneath the surface and the shine, it remains a superbike ready to respond to every watt.
The meeting of the two brands is less unlikely than it seems. Pinarello belonged for several years to the L Catterton sphere, linked to LVMH, before being sold in 2023. The collaboration revives that closeness, but adds a very contemporary interpretation: performance no longer needs to be confined to sport, just as fashion has ceased to exist only in clothing.
The edition will be sold exclusively through Louis Vuitton. Neither the price nor the number of copies has been officially announced (rumour has it the figure will be somewhere around 50k), which only adds to the aura of rarity surrounding the project.
It remains to be seen how many will actually get to know the tarmac. The Dogma F was born to cut through the wind, climb mountains and fight for seconds. In this version, it may well spend more time hanging on a wall than leaning against a finish line. Even standing still, however, it has already fulfilled an essential role: showing that a bicycle can be a machine, a piece of design and a fashion accessory without asking permission from any of these categories.
