Luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton announced Tuesday the appointment of hip-hop artist Pharrell Williams as its new head of menswear. "Louis Vuitton is delighted to welcome Pharrell as its new Men's Creative Director with immediate effect," the storied brand said in a statement. Pharrell Williams fills the spot left vacant since the death of Virgil Abloh from cancer in November 2021.
The 49-year-old is an established superstar in the music world, with 13 Grammys and two Oscar nominations, and has been a fixture in the front row of fashion shows for years.
"Pharrell Williams is a visionary whose creative universe spans from music to art to fashion - establishing himself as a universal cultural icon over the past 20 years," said the fashion house, part of the LVMH luxury conglomerate.
His first collection for Louis Vuitton will be presented in June during Men's Fashion Week in Paris, it added.
