Fashion career profile

Pharrell Williams

Pharrell Williams is an American musician, producer and fashion entrepreneur whose design work predates his appointment at Louis Vuitton. In 2003 he co-founded Billionaire Boys Club and ICECREAM with Japanese designer NIGO, bringing graphic streetwear into a global apparel business. He also collaborated with Louis Vuitton on accessories before being named the house’s Men’s Creative Director in 2023. His first collection debuted during Paris Men’s Fashion Week in June that year. The role is specifically responsible for menswear, separate from Nicolas Ghesquière’s women’s collections and from Louis Vuitton’s executive leadership. His profile therefore treats his fashion-house appointment as one part of a broader creative career, not as a claim that he designs every Louis Vuitton category.
