Pharrell Williams is someone who is incredibly respected when it comes to the various domains he operates in. Although he mostly became known for his music production, there is no doubt that he is also known for his fashion. Whether it be BAPE or Adidas, Pharrell has brought his design philosophies wherever he goes. Overall, fans love him for this, and in many ways, he is an icon in all respects. He can pretty well do it all, and that is the mark of a great artist.
When it comes to the fashion world, Williams has shown a keenness to give that world his all. However, it has been very difficult for black creators to break through in the fashion industry. This is something that Kanye West has lamented in the past, and for the most part, it has rung true. Although, just a few years ago, Virgil Abloh was able to break through as the first black head designer for Louis Vuitton. Unfortunately, Abloh passed away back in 2021 after a battle with cancer.
Pharrell Williams To Replace Virgil
Now, however, it is being reported by the Wall Street Journal that Pharrell is set to become Virgil’s replacement. This would be a monumental hire for the brand as it would make Pharrell their head of menswear. It remains to be seen how Pharrell Williams would perform in that role. Although he does have a great track record. His tastes when it comes to clothes are unique, and we’re sure he will bring that philosophy to LV.
At the time of writing this, Pharrell has not been confirmed as the head of menswear. However, the talks are ongoing. Overall, this would be huge for the brand, and we’re sure Pharrell is eager to carry forth the legacy of his good friend Virgil.
