NEW YORK (AP) — Louis Vuitton has named multitalented singer-songwriter-philanthropist Pharrell Williams as creative director of its menswear division. He replaces the late Virgil Abloh. The company says in a statement Tuesday that the multitalented Pharrell is a global icon and established visionary in music, art and fashion. The appointment is effective immediately. Pharrell’s first men’s show for the French fashion house is scheduled for June during Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Abloh died in November 2021 of cancer at age 41. He was a groundbreaking designer and tastemaker known for merging streetwear and high fashion.
