Williams took over the role as the brand's creative director of menswear following the death of Virgil Abloh.
For his debut collection at Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams drew his global audience to the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, kicking off his tenure as creative director of menswear with a celebrity-packed outdoor show.
“I’m the second Black man to ever experience this on the planet, the biggest fashion house in the world,” Williams said in an interview before the show, referring to his job since February. LVMH Chairman and Chief Executive Bernard Arnault and his family, whom Williams has known for years, have been “extremely supportive” in his new role, Williams said.
“The idea was to instill the idea that Louis Vuitton is also the master of tailoring of a dandy man who wants to be somewhat more elegant,” Vuitton CEO Pietro Beccari said of his brief to Williams. “That was not difficult because that’s him. … What you see on the catwalk is Pharrell, multiplied by 70 looks.”
