​Louis Vuitton has finally announced that Pharrell Williams will be their new menswear creative director. When thinking of who could replace Virgil, we know there is not a person. But when asking myself is Pharrell Williams a great choice, I would say heck yes! With his design portfolio including years of fashion design for Billionaire Boys Club, A Bathing Ape, project based design for various popular brands like Chanel, and even some consumer products, LVMH has done their homework with this one.  This will be a full-time job for Pharrell and I am sure his releases will be full blown music and fashion projects for each season. I can not wait to see the first line. Photo Source: Biography
