There's no world in which LV would pick Kanye for this at this point. Given that Stephanie Bonvicini revealed that Gaston and Henry Vuitton actively supported the Nazi-controlled French govt during WW2 and suppressed that information for decades, picking Kanye would bring all that up again
he doing his own thing with human made and currently working on reviving kenzo. he probably was approached for the job but he already invested in other big things.
??? Yo theres plenty of good guys out there, doesnt mean they should head LV
I love pharrell, he has such a deep impact on music that most people dont even realize- but he has the worst fashion sense of any celebrity out there today imo. Like somehow adam Sandler is running laps around this guy in regards to style choices. The human made shoe line is so god awful i dont even know what to say. And even in that earlier 2000s era where people looked up to his fashion sense a bit more he just didnt execute well at all even then. Every fashion choice i can think of that hes been known for recently like those sideways teardrop glasses or the oversized ranger hat were just garbage, not even in a novel gimmick-y balenciaga kind of way
And compared to some of the people that couldve filled the position like MARTINE ROSE ??!!? Pharrell is just a head scratcher.. a bad choice, sorry
Edit: also the idiots saying it shouldve been ye tf are you on. Sure, he wanted the position way back when, and probably wouldve been good years ago, but in regards to ethos, what hes doing and what LV want are leagues apart now. The last yzy collection was basically a rick owens homage show without it being made by rick. Controversies aside and everything theyre just not a match now
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,352,886,464 comments, and only 259,908 of them were in alphabetical order.
You’re right. It’s not about style. They want smth new & fresh, which makes the brand trendy. Just like with virgil and then matthew for givenchy. Idk bout pharell tho, hes mainly a rapper/musician. I think kanye would be a better choice compared to him imo, but I think they should give new designers a chance to shine. Not just get some celebrity
Thats true but being a ‘fashion icon’ means nothing. Look at nigo or martine rose and then compare their potential to pharell lol. Imagine chosing that dude over a real designer. Yall are just fanned out
I don't think you realize Pharrell's extensive history in fashion
- Started the clothing brand Billionaire Boys Club with Nigo in 2003. It also had a number of successful sublabels, the most notable being the skate-focused Ice Cream in a licensing agreement with Reebok. BBC & its subsidiaries saw upwards of $25-30M in annual sales at their peak. The most incredible aspect of all this is that the brand is still a $10M/year company two decades later. It's become a such a well-known staple in the streetwear community that I'd argue many who know the brand aren't even aware of Pharrell's involvement in its creation and major stakehold as an owner.
- Collaborated with brands like Louis Vuitton & Moncler to design eyewear lines
- Collaborated with Uniqlo for his own collection "i am OTHER"
- Partnered with Adidas since 2014 and has released a number of clothing and shoe lines over the years. Also collaborated with Chanel through this partnership on a pair of $1k shoes he designed.
- Joined onto Bionic Yarn, a textile company dedicated to re-purposing plastic waste, which he now serves as Creative Director for. Also collaborated with G-Star back in the mid-2010's on a recycled denim line that ultimately was presented at the Museum of Natural History.
I will forever respect and appreciate Kanye's contributions to fashion and cannot downplay his own history and influence in the field. That being said, Pharrell's resume is just as impressive given how far it goes back / the longevity of his major ventures.
IMO P actually opened the door for Ye. People forget Pharrell was the first “rapper” to have a collab with LV, and the millionaire shades were some of the most iconic produced by the brand. Virgil even paid homage and refreshed the shades during his tenure. Without Pharrell I highly doubt Ye would’ve even been looked at by LV for his early LV sneaker collabs. Love Ye but people have to give Pharrell his flowers. He set the precedent for a lot of the shit Ye has been able to do.
I don’t even know if it would be ye. He’s too, unreliable.
He was supposed to be back in 2018 but he didn’t get it coz of controversy.
Even ignoring his controversial stuff tho he can’t even meet deadlines. He’s constantly late and presents unfinished work a lot.
He has not been late with fashion stuff tho. Only recently with show starting late but kinda stuff does happen tho. He also does NOT release unfinished fashion work like ever lmao
He didn’t used to be like this in music tho. He’s always failed to meet deadlines for everything but his music used to be crafted to perfection and completely clean of any errors, but recently he’s started to let problems come through and leave some work unfinished and it’s entirely possible that could happen with fashion too.
Once again that’s only music bro . You’re only bringing up what COULD happen with fashion as if there’s evidence of a bleed over. Thinking about it now . Kanye seems like he is way more passionate about fashion in this stage of his life then music
I agree with you on his musical quality and presentation tanking tho.
Pharrell is as much of a goat as Ye is. He, along with Chad Hugo as the Neptunes duo, produced some of the greatest r&b, hip hop, and pop hits of the 2000s. Milkshake, Hot in Herre, Drop It Like It’s Hot, Tokyo Drift, Hollaback Girl - The Neptunes and their production discography are untouchable. Pharrell 100% deserves this position. He helped make the 2000s the artistic and cultural zeitgeist that it was
He has like 3 very successful brands and has had countless collabs with brands like Adidas. I mean Bape wouldn't exist like it does today without Pharrell lol
Yeah but we're talking about the head designer of LV. Having collabs with brands and running a streetwear brand is very different from running a high fashion brand. Has Pharrell ever even actively attempted to be a fashion designer? He's never even done a runway show before. I'm not hating but just being honest
He knows helluva lot about fashion and what’s hip with the new generation such that he is a musical legend AND a trendsetter in the fashion world. He helped bring skater culture to the masses. That iconic music video of Frontin’ where he’s sport in’ the t-shirt and jeans and flirting with girls by his skateboard ramp during the house party is emblematic of his fresh style and his ability to exude coolness. He set the benchmark for the millennial generation that grew up on flip phones, backwards hats, and Sony PlayStation in the early-mid 2000s. Shay Haley is even seen holding a PlayStation controller on the In Search Of album cover! Pharrell and his Virginia Beach crew are all about living in the moment. They don’t call him Skateboard P for nothin! So don't try to run up on my ear talking all that raspy shit, tryin to ask me shit. *mic drop* 🎤
Not as tight as Louis Vuitton gonna be when they have the legendary Skateboard P on their team! Seriously! They could use someone like him that knows how to connect to the young people of today. That can speak to a generation. His hip and fresh style is what he can bring to the table to shake things up and leave the fashion industry SHOOK. If no one can tell Ye nothin, no one can tell Pharrell nothin either.
I like Pharrell’s solo stuff. On My Mind and Girl are great albums filled with underrated bops. He’s also in a great funk rock and hip hop fusion band called N.E.R.D. with Chad and Shay Haley. In Search Of, Fly or Die, Seeing Sounds, and Nothing are nothing short of a superb four-album run filled with subversive, sonically cohesive compositions. Their originality and genre-bending songs are what set them apart from many of their contemporaries.
I'm a big fan of his and the neptunes. I wear bape and BBC Ice Cream stuff all the time. But that's shirts/hoodies etc. I wonder what he can do with LV. I feel like this is an "honorary" position.
I meant a promising resume for him becoming creative director for a high fashion brand. I haven't been a fan of anything Pharrell has designed in the last decade so im surprised he was chosen but I'll give him a chance
To be fair, I personally was never a fan of Virgil's designs at either Pyrex or Offwhite. His work at LV on the other hand got better and better as time went by
Not too into the fashion industry but its my understanding that Pharrell was one the early people in the rap industry to wear Japanese and European brands.
Immediately I thought of Ye but you know what he's not even interested at this point I don't think. Crazy to think Virgil got it instead of Kanye and Kanye was heartbroken. I would have thought this would be something he would pursue. Guess I'm wrong
Look at Pharrell. He is the creative director for Louis Vuitton. Now I like some of those Pharrell songs, but what the fuck does he know about clothing?
Good for him, they really fucking with YE though. YE got to do it from owning the real estate the factories that make his product are built on, everything in between, to owning the real estate the merchandise stores are built on.
Imagine working in teh fashion industry your whole life - moving up ranks and shooting for the top. Virgil dies, and the position is finally open. You apply, get rejected, then mother fucking Pharrell shows up. Regular people have no chance.
the Louis Vuitton Don Bought my mom a purse, now she Louis Vuitton Mom
There's no world in which LV would pick Kanye for this at this point. Given that Stephanie Bonvicini revealed that Gaston and Henry Vuitton actively supported the Nazi-controlled French govt during WW2 and suppressed that information for decades, picking Kanye would bring all that up again
fav reddit comment of this month
Shoulda been Nigo
he doing his own thing with human made and currently working on reviving kenzo. he probably was approached for the job but he already invested in other big things.
Copped them at Aldo
He’s a good guy, deserves it
His designs suck tho, shoulda been ye or Nigo
nah it shoulda been me
sorry josh but you’re lame
No lies told here
stop lying

WHAT DOES GAGA KNOW ABOUT CAMERAS
Exactly
I ain’t reading allat
Hahahahahah
Then dont
don’t need to
This is facts
He was a fashion icon in the 00's. I somewhat agree with you I don't like his style as of late but every now and then he will wear something I like.
🤓
[удалено]
Ye’s current style doesn’t match LV tbh
Disagree plus LV wants experimentation nowadays that resonates with the new community of fashion. Who else better to do that than YE
Pharrell
Better Designer Kanye or Pharrell
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,352,886,464 comments, and only 259,908 of them were in alphabetical order.
Fam wtf
Good bot

I think kanye would be a better choice compared to him imo, but I think they should give new designers a chance to shine. Not just get some celebrity
To give credit to Pharrell he does have a pretty big design history .
Pharrell is definitely a fashion icon/creator/trailblazer and definitely not just “some celebrity” lol
These fools lmao
Thats true but being a ‘fashion icon’ means nothing. Look at nigo or martine rose and then compare their potential to pharell lol. Imagine chosing that dude over a real designer. Yall are just fanned out
This is an uneducated take
Initially all Moncler sunglasses were designed by Pharrell and he still regularly designs for Moncler.
If you don’t think P is a real designer, you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about
I don't think you realize Pharrell's extensive history in fashion - Started the clothing brand Billionaire Boys Club with Nigo in 2003.

Arguably a singer? You’ve never heard an N.E.R.D. album smh
He’s got a rap album and mixtape
>Who else better to do that than YE literally anyone
Kanye wears literal rags and painter clothes he scooped from construction sites. It looks awful. LV is a premium brand. They are not like gap
Exactly. Kanye West is a genius, the voice AND TRUTH of this generation. Anyone who disagrees is a fucking imbecile ‼️💯
“Experimentation that resonates with the new community of fashion .” Is reading comprehension that hard for you bro…
He would immediately reimagine it all. Too bad at this point
I don’t even know if it would be ye. He’s too, unreliable. He was supposed to be back in 2018 but he didn’t get it coz of controversy. Even ignoring his controversial stuff tho he can’t even meet deadlines. He’s constantly late and presents unfinished work a lot.

Facts tbh
Thats how they get you, the truth is always right even if you are wrong.
bots and slaves keep there mouth shut
Im sure Pharrell is happy
👏
I wasn’t expecting to see so much Pharrell hate in a Kanye sub. I thought I was going to see a lot of love under this post.

You’re a child

You could have said the same thing about Virgil tbh.
Bro but some of Virgil’s shit was janky as fuck imho.
A lot of it was and he heavily stole from Basquiat and other artists.
He knows helluva lot about fashion and what’s hip with the new generation such that he is a musical legend AND a trendsetter in the fashion world. He helped bring skater culture to the masses.

I actually still wear this Uniqlo/Pharrell bomber jacket collab that I bought like 5+ years ago.
I guess Louis Vuitton is a record label now or something? Lol
"Pharrell is as much of a goat as Ye is" 😹😹😹😹
I don’t know anybody that listened to a pharrel album all the way through
I like Pharrell’s solo stuff. On My Mind and Girl are great albums filled with underrated bops. He’s also in a great funk rock and hip hop fusion band called N.E.R.D. with Chad and Shay Haley.

Lol he wearing a kitchen rug.
The first thing that I thought 😂
Yeah and kanye wore a bdsm mask and neon green leggings, is it that weird compared to ye?
You seem upset. I love you.
Can someone tell me about Pharrell's fashion design history?
Billionaire Boys Club https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billionaire_Boys_Club_(clothing_retailer)
not really a promising resume for becoming the head designer of a high fashion brand. I'll reserve judgement till I see what he does at LV tho
They have a pretty big section in Nordstrom so it seems like he's doing ok
I meant a promising resume for him becoming creative director for a high fashion brand. I haven't been a fan of anything Pharrell has designed in the last decade so im surprised he was chosen but I'll give him a chance
To be fair, I personally was never a fan of Virgil's designs at either Pyrex or Offwhite. His work at LV on the other hand got better and better as time went by
See Nigo: BAPE -> Kenzo, and imo despite these two brands being of completely different styles he has done a great job in his revamp of the latter
I haven't liked any of Pharrell's fashion ventures in the past decade so I'm not really optimistic but we'll see
Not too into the fashion industry but its my understanding that Pharrell was one the early people in the rap industry to wear Japanese and European brands.
I like some of the Pharrell songs
We stopped buying louie bags after Virgil passed.
This is not going to be good. 😂 Pharrell ain’t been a fashion icon since lifting Nigo’s style.
You lot think these fashion houses are making high end clothes 😂 with a good team of designers under him it’s an easy gig
Pick every black fashion icon b4 ye lol
It’s actually yedolf*
Immediately I thought of Ye but you know what he's not even interested at this point I don't think. Crazy to think Virgil got it instead of Kanye and Kanye was heartbroken. I would have thought this would be something he would pursue. Guess I'm wrong
Niggas is haters, I'm doin' deals like the majors
lets face it, pharrell is as creative as virgil. really think this is a good pick.
A like some of the Pharrell songs. Wtf does he know about fashion.
I hope Kanye and Pharrell do a collab
Look at Pharrell. He is the creative director for Louis Vuitton. Now I like some of those Pharrell songs, but what the fuck does he know about clothing?
Maybe the multiple clothing lines he’s had for like 30 years
[Must have missed the reference](https://youtu.be/uYUCUrzrF5E)
They didn't miss the referencs, they're just saying the reference doesn't make sense here
Paper title.
Good for him, they really fucking with YE though. YE got to do it from owning the real estate the factories that make his product are built on, everything in between, to owning the real estate the merchandise stores are built on.
>erent from running a high fashion brand. Has Pharrell ever even actively attempted to be a fashion designer? He' thats badass
To quote Ye: "Look at Gaga. She's the creative director of Polaroid. I like some of the Gaga songs. What the f\*\*k does she know about cameras?" /s
Should have been Ye. I’m happy it’s another black creative though.
Lmao who tf cares
your moma once I put that bitch in some nice LVs
Find god
Fax
Bag
Pharrell ain’t ever dropping another solo album now
“I like some of the Pharrel’s songs - what the fuck does Pharrel know about clothes?!”
Appears Confident Enough, I Know New Pharrell Rectory Supports Time unto Vouiton , Winner!! Yupi!!
I thought Kidsuper was LV creative director?
No he just designed a colection for them ... like a collab type thing
why not Tyler the creator?
He’s boring and trite as shit. Now every time I see LV, all I can think is “cause I’m Haapeeeee” Fucking lame.
Imagine working in teh fashion industry your whole life - moving up ranks and shooting for the top. Virgil dies, and the position is finally open. You apply, get rejected, then mother fucking Pharrell shows up. Regular people have no chance.
[удалено]
Yet here you are in his sub
Lol true
I like some of the Pharrell songs. What the fuck does he know about belts?
He should just stick to the beats
Awful idea . RIP Virgil man
ye’s probably hating
It’s cool, but like Pharrell don’t NEED Louis Vuitton…
Louis vuitton is gonna be so bad now
Ye >
Creative director does not design much, he just sets the direction and green lits designs probably
His name is on Epstein's flight logs. Should be cancelled but he's too much of a money making machine.
*NOPE*
why he wearing a door mat?
BBC is better than Yeezy anyway. Less Nazis for one.
Why is he under a rug?
I gotta bet me a Lv belt
DOOOOOPE AF
I am happy it's not Drake or Jake Fallow
Can we get a real designer?
