Just last month, Louis Vuitton announced a buzzy new collab, the first of Pharrell Williams under the Men’s umbrella. It continues not only a tradition of the House but of his predecessor, Virgil Abloh, as collaboration is at the heart of Louis Vuitton’s brand DNA.
Today, that buzzed-about collection, in partnership with a friend of Pharrell’s Tyler, The Creator, is here, and we’ve got the scoop.
Fun, Fresh Monogram Just Hit
With his first collection for Louis Vuitton, Tyler, The Creator fuses his signature poppy-prep style with the distinct codes and DNA of Louis Vuitton. The collection also considers Pharrell Williams’ unique vision, which continues to develop each season.
A fun new Monogram is at the heart of the collection, and it is one of the most fun takes on the Maison’s classic Monogram print that we’ve seen in a while. Dubbed Craggy Monogram, it is one of the standouts of the collection, conceptualized and hand-drawn by the artist himself.
Inspired by the creamy hues of a patisserie, the print features LV Flowers hidden within and adorable leaping Airedale Terriers. Appearing on a range of wearable and fun bags, the entire collection has just hit, and we’re looking at some of our favorite pieces from the collection below.
The collection launches today, and some pieces are already sold out online, so be sure to check local boutiques if there’s something specific you’re eyeing. Shop the full range now at Louis Vuitton.com.
To me this capsule collection is irrelevant. There is nothing really new nor special. The creativity that involves the music production does not automatically translate to other sectors.
A stylist can’t become a singer, so a singer should not become a stylist. Artistic direction is a different role, of course true stylists are indeed involved in the designing process, but then again, to have a personal style is not enough to be able to fulfill certain roles. At least to me.
Clearly, executives at multinational companies generating billions in profits disagree with you.
I think Vnex is talking about the creativity, not the money it brings in…
These days it’s all about celebrities “designing” products. The succes of these products doesn’t necessarily mean it’s well designed. People are just sheep and have more and more trouble thinking for themselves. If tiktok says it’s cool, people will follow….
I am simply hunger to see the collection which genuinely designed by actual “ Fashion Designer” and not by celebrities nor rapper
In addition, just wonder if PW debut collection has been successful as I saw many of his collection( included Speedy P9 ) at Selfridge in London, Louis Vuitton at Bond Street, Shinjuku Store and Omote Sando store in Tokyo….My SA told me it will be so difficult to get any of his designed piece last year……
Fashion is an industry dedicated to making (lots of) money. “Creativity” is just whatever the marketing team deploys to make you spend your hard-earned cash on useless handbags. Anyone who has any experience working in the luxury world knows that it’s all smoke and mirrors.
Very well said – maybe this artist has rich billionaires who follow his music and will purchase these overpriced products!!!!
+ it’s a whole design team who comes up with the actual ideas.
To have the idea to do a monogram in colours with a little dog is nothing genius, neither is the rest of this collection. Execution is well done, but then again it’s LV. In terms of creativity as you said, nothing special. Everyone can do this when you have such a team behind you (not only creatively, but also the development and production)
love the photography its giving gucci 2018
I love the monogram craggy canvas with the dog amongst the logos, it’s super cute.
Seriously? They have to ACTUALLY bring in a designer for this? Pay me. I’ll do it!
You’re nobody. So they won’t pay you to do it.
🙂 Well said! Sometimes, I think I can paint a masterpiece, but who am I kidding? I’ll leave it to the Picasso’s, Renoir’s, Van Gogh’s, etc.
