On stage and off, Pharrell Williams is a cut above above the rest. The multi-Grammy Award winner and Academy Award nominee is music's most fashionable celebrity, and his funky dress sense gets cameras snapping and people talking. Now he has been given the honor of being Louis Vuitton's new men's creative director, succeeding the late, great Virgil Abloh, who passed in 2021, and he did not disappoint.
Williams' debut Spring/Summer 2024 runway show for the French fashion house was a smash success, and led with love, pixelated effects, wearable designs, long coats, and an undeniable sense of cool. The guiding concept for the universal capsule, he explained to Vogue, is in part the word "Lovers," which is "inspired by the love and support of the people here that I’ve just been blessed to be able to experience over the past 30 years," he elaborated, while on the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris where the outdoor presentation took place. The love was certainly present, as his fellow artists and supporters were all front row including the likes of Zendaya, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and more.
Of course it was an immersive musical experience as well, as Williams told Vogue the show's moving soundtrack included songs he produced, performed by Virginia-based gospel choir Voices of Fire, and piano sections played by Chinese musician Lang Lang.
"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 fashion house wrote on Instagram in February. And it's true!
