The New Creative Director of Louis Vuitton 

Impact don’t make you a designer. That don’t mean he understands fashion because he hasn’t studied it. It’s a hobby.

@@jayloncollins9681 fr, i wanna know how much HE will actually design himself with this collection etc

You mean those terrible hats?

Why do people think a creative director needs to design, like sit down and sew? Bernard Arnault, LVMH's CEO, has stated that the brand strategy is moving towards a becoming a cultural brand. They hire accordingly to their vision. And they've been doing great.

@@ejenn6639 does he need to design clothes to hold a CD role though? Can he not just curate a team of designers each season to execute his vision? I think it can be a really interesting move if its the latter

Lol

Kanye was mad he didn’t get the job. Working with famous people is pretty standard.

One mf owns all LVMH too

what if he pays homage to her and brings her in for a quick collection like KIDSUPER

Idk what you are smoking

What are 10 reasons M. Rose would be your choice and why ?

30 years and yeah everything you said 🎉

You took the words right out of my mouth! 👏🏾 I can't wait.

This is so true. He just gets it on all sides and nails it every time. Kanye is an icon in his own right but I honestly think him and Pharrell are on two completely different planets when it comes to fashion. Pharrell seems to understand it on a much deeper level.

You are confused. His past fashion ventures have been terrible.

thank YOU bro appreciate you

Who even are you lol

@@palettown5468 damn bro cant share an opinion?

@@johnwright877 he can, but his opinion doesnt mean shit lol, i doubt he even is the target market for lv

Bro ur chattin

@@palettown5468 you sound defensive but for what? there's gonna be ppl who will love what pharrell will do with lv, some will be indifferent, and some will hate it. But whose to say which is right or wrong? Pharrell's creative choices are definitely unique and interesting-some good, some bad. But let's wait see what's gonna happen

I actually like the men’s 23-24 collection

This is a joke to me. The world is so backwards, confused and delusional.

I 100% agree. Someone styles him and they’ve been styling him for years.

You guys are supa clueless. If LV were so biased like yall think then Virgil wouldnt even have gotten the Job in the first place. Pharrel has put in work in many ways, created brands, provwn to be a tastemaker for both urban and highend brands and has the respect, experience and acument to push a bramd to multiple markets at the same time. This brother has been designing glasses, appeared in designer commercials from 20years back, put in work in many different ways in the fashion world. The role of Creative director has evolved with the times... At a time when a director can be working with multiple taylors and technicians to develoo pieces, all that is needed from a director is an astute vision for the brand and the leadership ability to steer a brand to success.. You can have people from designer schools and all that but lack the sheer innate ability to create things and get things moving. LV thought all this out from all angles and saw ot fit to gove him the job. He jist proved his critics wrong a few days ago on his debut showcase. Yall need to do more research before being cry babies out here on them youtube comments.

Exactly. And not someone who is a designer and talented. It’s gross. All the struggling and up and coming black designers in the world and they pick him. I doubt they would ever do this with a white celeb could you imagine the uproar if they put someone like Angelina Jolie at the head of Chanel?

Y’all wild. Can’t please black folk. And creative director is in no way shape or form the “head” of the company

this is a brave & wavy opinion. l.v chose virgil & pharrell (may his soul rest in peace) only because they are within the vicinity of ye. at this point of scale and without a strong voice (such as ye’s) i cannot imagine any major fashion house coming close to the quality of material and close-to affordable MSRP.

You think he is just fashionable? He is one of the main precursors of high end street-wear. Co-founded Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. In 2004, collaborated with Louis Vuitton and Nigo under Marc Jacobs, for a sunglass collection under the name Millionaire. Virgil Abloh redesigned the glasses during his time in LV. Collabed with LV again in 2008, doing jewelry. First male to ever appear in a handbag campaign for Chanel. Spearheaded Chanel's first sneaker collab. Created the Chanel capsule collection in collaboration (and friendship) with Karl Lagerfeld. Partnered with Adidas for over a decade. Redesigned the NMD with Adidas. Created a collection for Uniqlo together with Nigo. Co-owner of G-star. Collab with Human Made.

@@aname206 Unfortunately the quality of the clothing from these luxury fashion brands has declined greatly precisely because people like Bernard Arnault (now the richest man on Earth) are mainly concerned with widening profit margins and turning out more product via ready to wear collections to appeal to a broader audience rather than limiting it to a couture clientele. I would be fine with that except that it seems the integrity of the brand has been lost to appeal to the masses and keep up with fast fashion and celebrity endorsements, which will always be a losing battle. Choosing Pharrell as the creative director of menswear is a bad choice design wise but it’s a smart business move because it will increase the brand’s visibility and open the market to people who would’ve previously been excluded from the brand, but it’s for the purpose of exploiting his fan base. If they had chosen a legit designer like Martine Rose or Grace Wales Bonner, it would’ve been applauded by the fashion world and they would’ve made wonderful work, but it wouldn’t have made a huge splash to the hypebeasts and hip-hop fans Arnault wants to target and exploit for profit. It’s giving culture vulture to me and I’m not buying it.

@@sxt4447 yeah thank you for this bro. I’m sure you’ve heard or read about this book called “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost it’s Luster by Dana Thomas - which depicts why the lack of craftsmanship and focus on scale has destroyed the timeless of the certain fashion houses. The realized the classism aspect of fashion has been an issue since Yeezus lol.

Nevermind Bria’s interlude

He inspired Virgil and Ye, he is actually THE GOAT

im sure they'll get their chances somewhere somehow
