admin Nearly two decades after Pharrell Williams attended his first Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week in October 2004 (wearing an A Bathing Ape hoodie, no less), he debuted his inaugural menswear collection as designer for the French luxury house. In the intervening years, the super-producer—and GQ’s latest cover star—lived many fashion lives: the trucker hat and camo shorts era, the Icecream and Billionaire Boys Club epoch, the Chanel tweed jacket age, and, of course, the Grammys hat moment. In some way or another, Pharrell’s personal style has underscored menswear’s ongoing evolution for the entire 21st century.
Pharrell brought streetwear to fashion, and fashion gave him a whole street in return: His LV debut shut down the Pont Neuf and drew entertainment’s foremost titans of industry to the City of Light. The spectacle, far and away the year’s most talked-about fashion moment, stands as a true testament to his decades of star power and undeniable sartorial prowess.
