Louis Vuitton Men’s Show – Pharrell Williams

“When you come from a culture that has been purposefully blocked and set in disadvantaged situations, you can’t imagine what’s even possible. But there’s this narrative that’s changing. So many of us are being swept up from one place and landing in fertile soil in other places, and being treated and watered and sunned like all souls should be, I can say there is an impact in that way, which is changing, it’s not enough but it’s happening, and I am very honored to be a part of that, Williams said.

It took place on one of Pari’s busiest bridges –

the location choice for Pharrell Williams’s debut show for Louis Vuitton said it all – this was history in the making. As an artist who’s provided the life soundtrack for at least one generation, Williams’s meeting with the biggest luxury brand in the world was loaded with significance. On said bridge, in the center of Paris, framed around a collection that represented the personal style and understanding of clothes. which earned him his star in the fashion galaxy in the first place.

It was packed with brilliant pieces –

Amongst Williams’s debut proposals were tracksuits outlined with pearls, Damier motifs adapted into the patterns of coats and jackets, and delectable denim pieces embroidered with micro motifs of faces created by the American artist Henry Taylor, who also starred in the show’s prelude. In the accessory department, Williams delivered magnified furry Mickey Mouse gloves, different dimensions of trunks covered in shiny copper, sunglasses crafted like camera lenses, and his first bag proposal for the house, a new interpretation of the classic Speedy bag reimagined in leather as opposed to canvas and rendered in the primary colors Williams said served his natural starting point for the collection.

It was all about the sun –

Key to the life philosophy of Williams, he sees the sun as a unifying force of light, energy and healing power. its rays penetrated every element of his show, from the motif of the glass invitation on the runway and glistening surface decoration that adorned his dandy-esque tailoring and retro-chic sportswear.

It reimagined the iconography of Louis Vuitton –

Williams is someone who had paved the way in music and fashion culture, there was a calm resolve about the show, uplifted by the soundtrack he had produced with voices of fire, eclipse and lang lang, performed with a live chair and orchestra, which was also felt in the collection. Reflecting his own inimitable sense of style, from dandy tailoring to camouflage, boucle jackets and comfy-centric constructions, Williams adapted the iconography of Louis Vuitton in new Damier chessboard patterns, a “Damoflage” splicing of Damier and camo, a pixelated Damier by ET artist and Canal Street-inspired takes on the LV monogram across a wardrobe that felt distinctly wearable.

And that’s the end:)
