Multi-hyphenate musician Pharrell Williams has been announced as the successor to Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton
on the collection. The high-profile show – which featured a performance by Spanish pop artist Rosalía – has proved to be a one-off.Virginia-born Williams – who rose to fame as part of The Neptunes in the 1990s before forging a solo career as a musician and producer – has long been known for his colourful and often idiosyncratic sense of style, which was heavily influenced by a close friendship with A Bathing Ape founder Nigo that began in the early 2000s .
‘Every time we make a new shoe, a new shirt, or a pair of jeans, it adds another chapter to my dream coming true,’ Williams told Nigo in a conversation in the Karl Lagerfeld-helmed 2005 issue of Interview. ‘It’s rags to riches.’ Williams has continued to remain an influential figure in fashion in the two decades since, regularly attending international fashion week shows and maintaining a close relationship with Chanel. Close to the late Lagerfeld, he would be Chanel’s first male ambassador and create a collaborative capsule collection of clothing in 2019.
‘I am glad to welcome Pharrell back home, after our collaborations in 2004 and 2008 for Louis Vuitton, as our new men’s creative director. His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards a new and very exciting chapter,’ added Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton’s chairman and CEO.
Williams’ first collection for the house will be revealed in June 2023 during the Men’s Fashion Week in Paris.
