In February, longtime music producer Pharrell Williams was unexpectedly chosen as the newest Men’s Creative Director for Louis Vuitton. As the newest selection for the coveted position, Williams became the successor for Virgil Abloh after his death and the second Black American designer to hold the position at the French luxury house.
“Pharrell Williams is a visionary whose creative universes expand from music, to art, and to fashion – establishing himself as a cultural, global icon over the past twenty years,” the statement from LVMH said at the time. “The way in which he breaks boundaries across the various worlds he explores aligns with Louis Vuitton’s status as a Cultural Maison, reinforcing its values of innovation, pioneer spirit and entrepreneurship.”
Fast-forward a few months, Williams had his first-ever menswear collection shown at Paris Fashion Week on June 20. In attendance, of course, was an array of celebrities that came to support the star on his big day. Among the guests were Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Zendaya, Naomi Campbell, Jared Leto, and many others. Also making an appearance was Williams’ wife Helen Lasichanh and his 14-year-old son Rocket. Love to see it!
