Pharrell Williamsspent this past Valentine’s Day breaking the internet with the news of his appointment as Louis Vuitton’s newest menswear creative director.
It made total sense that the “Happy" singer, 50, wanted his debut collection for the French label to revolve around love and community – and to celebrate those themes with the starriest of faces.
The guiding concept for the universal capsule (“I make things for humans,” he explained toVogue) is in part the word “Lovers,” which also pays homage to his home state of Virginia and the day he started working on his first pieces.
