The rapper and music producer will succeed Virgil Abloh and “lead Louis Vuitton toward a new and very exciting chapter,” the brand said in a statement.
The music superstar noted for his front row fashion show appearances over the years will assume the menswear mantel. The late former head Virgil Abloh also came to the fashion house from the music world.
Louis Vuitton has hired Pharrell Williams to become its new men’s creative director, opening a new chapter for the brand following the death of star designer Virgil Abloh in 2021.
The singer, producer and designer has a long history of working with fashion brands — as well as big shoes to fill. Williams' first Louis Vuitton collection will debut at Men's Fashion Week in June.
It might seem crazy what I’m'bout to say, but there are so many reasons to celebrate Louis Vuitton’s choice of Pharrell Williams as its new creative director for men’s fashions. Among these are that he is an experimenter, insider-outsider, who does not mind losing control and who lives innovation.
Identical headlines usually mean shared wire copy. They are counted as separate articles but are not independent confirmation.
