In the ultimate clash of fashion and music, Pharrell has partnered with Tyler, The Creator to create a visionary capsule collection.
When Louis Vuitton tapped Grammy-winning producer Pharrell as the maison’s creative director of menswear, it dawned a new age for the relationship between fashion and music. Further strengthening that bond, Pharrell has tapped longtime friend and creative collaborator Tyler, The Creator to create a visionary capsule collection rooted in his experience as one of today’s top musicians.
Drawing from Tyler, The Creator's distinctive creative lens, the capsule collection showcases an instinctive fusion between his visual universe and the timeless elegance of Louis Vuitton. Transcending seasonality, the timeless silhouettes and colour palette of chocolate, vanilla, pastels, and grass-green that's sure to make you hungry for your favourite French pastries.
Central to the collection is the emblematic Craggy Monogram, a hand-drawn motif by Tyler, The Creator himself. This unique symbol, rendered in chocolate, vanilla, and pastel hues, is featured across a range of preppy and elegant iterations, including down jackets, windbreakers, denim ensembles, and leather varsity jackets.
‘My fain focus was making things I would wear all the time,’ says Tyler, The Creator. ‘I dress the same in a meeting as I do a performance or grocery store trip, so hand drawing the monogram felt like the perfect balance to me. The chessboard is one of the greatest things I’ve made and is definitely my favourite thing from the collection’.
Footwear offerings include reimagined versions of classic Louis Vuitton styles, such as the LV Dandy loafer and the LV Waves derby boot, each interpreted through Tyler, The Creator's creative lens. The collection also introduces unique shoe designs, such as the LV Waffle slide and the LV Flower sandal, inspired by dessert aesthetics.
In addition to apparel and accessories, the collection offers a range of unique items, including fashion jewellery, sunglasses, and even a Craggy Monogram cereal bowl with a matching spoon, highlighting the whimsical and eclectic nature of the collaboration.
‘Tyler has been my close friend and collaborator for years and we’ve always connected on music and design. This collaboration is unique to Louis Vuitton because it’s a natural extension of our LVERS philosophy, building on our network of incredible artists and creatives,’ explains Pharrell.
The Louis Vuitton x Tyler, The Creator Spring 2024 Men’s capsule collection represents a harmonious blend of two distinct artistic visions, showcasing the intersection of luxury fashion and contemporary streetwear culture. With its innovative designs and meticulous craftsmanship, the collection reaffirms Louis Vuitton's commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity and establishing new paradigms in the world of fashion.
