Pharrell Williams Succeeds Virgil Abloh as Head of Men's Designs at Louis Vuitton

The 13-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar nominee, according to

The Associated Press and The New York Times, has years of experience working with luxury brands.

In the early 2000s Williams collaborated with LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) on sunglasses and jewelry.

The Millionaire sunglasses collection is still so popular that resale sites sell sunglasses for more than double

the original price, and Williams' friend Abloh relaunched the line in 2018.

Williams co-founded the influential streetwear label Billionaire Boys Club in 2003

(with Japanese designer Nigo, who is the artistic director of Kenzo, now owned by LVMH).

“Pharrell Williams is a dreamer of creative universes from music to art to fashion.
