- On 14th Feb 2023, Pharrell Williams was appointed as the successor to the late Virgil Abloh, as the new creative director of Menswear at Louis Vuitton. In this video, I look in-depth at how Pharrell Williams managed to become the Creative Director of Louis Vuitton. I also address the criticism and backlash that Louis Vuitton got for this controversial decision.

This was really well researched. I got better understanding about why Pharrell was possibly a good fit for the Creative Director for LV
so true!
This is a good video .. as a man that worked at bbc ice cream back in 2005-2009 (marketing and wholesale distributor) I think Pharrell is made for the job. I know he’s gonna do great .. and like you said he has a DEEP understanding of a wide range of audiences
Really awesome to hear this from someone who has worked at one of Pharrell’s brands. Did you the announcement of his appointment surprise you at all to begin with?
@@mrdecember yes and NO. OVERALL... no.. why? because when I worked with him he had 3 managers... for 3 different reason.. one was YANDLY .. one was ROB WALKER.. (a silent partner in Star Trak & BBC Ice Cream.. and the other was Loic V... Loic is the French connect and even back then kinda liasoned all those deals from art to fashion.. Loic is a good man still in the picture.. literally.. he's always with him in the back.. so I assume.. that helped as well... but Pharrell always had good relationship skills overall .. so he's cool that family at LVMH.. And adding nigo at kenzo... it all fits... family ties.. so to speak
I was always in the supportive side for this appointment, based on what I knew about Pharrell’s work ethos. This video opened my eyes to just how much Pharrell has already accomplished in this space, this seems like a natural step up imo and will allow the work LV to continue building on the foundation that virgil worked so hard to instil in the brand! Great video 🏆
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and Yes, I agree completely! I was hesitant when I first heard the appointment, but when I took some time to think, it made complete sense to me! Definitely a very natural progression. Now we just gotta wait to see the collection. Menswear fashion is very exciting at the moment!
Incredibly informative essay! It really shows that Pharrell is a perfect successor to Abloh and was built for this CD role, he will finally solidify his legacy in fashion.
Hopefully! I'm very interested in the debut collection and the presence that he brings to the house
Your language and articulation is top class - explanation going off
Thank you! 🙏 Glad you’re enjoying it and understand!!
@@mrdecember yeah you are hitting all the points, concisely and creatively
I agree❣️
@@damilarearahyep, he's awesome. I love listening
@@mrdecember❤ thanks for this, very informative. I love you're accent too!
Incredibly insightful. I'd been searching for an in-depth discourse on the role of CREATIVE DIRECTOR at a fashion house in 2023 but hadn't found one - until your video. Much appreciated.
🎯🎯🎯
Video came out great love how clearly you explain your points and provide context for everything
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Plenty more coming
Thank you for giving me a clearer understanding of Pharrell’s creative history. I loved Pharrell’s LV collection. It was a joyful and wearable show!🎉

Twitter gives a lot of uninformed people with opinions a platform. That said, I love videos like this that serve as a quick way to educate everyone on a topic (in this case Pharrell and his relationship with fashion.) As a long time admirer of Pharrell's work, I was excited with the announcement. It made perfect sense and you did an excellent job in communicating why he's a great fit for LV. Well done!
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
very well put together mate, great job!
🙏🙏🙏
This wasn't some opinion piece, but a well-researched video on the timeline of Pharrell's fashion career and influence in the fashion art space. In my opinion, that "nod" from Karl Lagerfeld was foretelling. Very educational...thank you! New subbie here!
Thanks, I appreciate this a lot! 🙏✨
I was a bit surprised when Pharrell was named creative director but your video helped me understand the work Pharrell has been putting in all of these years.

Love the way the video came out - great points!
Amazing video! Crisp audio and clear visuals, keep up the great work👍🏻
Thank you! I have more of these style of videos coming, as well as more Fashion Week Vlogs!
Excellent job! This was very thorough and highly informative. I’ll be following your content 👍
Glad you enjoyed Rob! Keep an eye out, new videos coming soon!
Great video, perhaps a deeper dive into the corporate structure of designers under the CD would be insightful and argue your point better
Thanks Lee! And thank you for the feedback!
I think I will do another video on Corporate structure of designers Tbf. It’s a very interesting topic in the modern day. Depending on which conglomerate you’re attached to, as a CD you could have a lot of freedom, or be a puppet who could blacklisted from the industry if you don’t do what you’re told.
Big thanks love your vibe! 🙏🏽
Bro, keep going I hope this Chanel grows! The video was super informative!
Thank you for this video! I can't believe I just found you right now!
Hahaha thank you. Don't worry, you're still very early!
Great video. Pharrell's fashion ventures have been quite niche, that's why certain people that aren't fans of hip hop, would think that he had no fashion experience
Great video. Clear, concise and well researched. Thank you!
Thanks a ton! Many videos on the way so subscribe if you don't wanna miss them!
I'm so glad I found you! Been searching for a video like this for a long time, you inspire me to create my own channel.

Excellent and informative information supporting the topic. Well done 😊

Very insightful you just earned a subscription my friend I hope you’re channel keeps growing
Thank you for this explanation. While I don't think I needed explanation of Pharrell's brilliance, I did need to understand the backlash as I am not that adept in fashion. I believe Pharrell to be creative visionary with immense follow through, so picking him for this role was only a surprise because I didn't know it was an aspiration of his from a fan level. I am truly in awe and have had his runway debut for LV on repeat, I am truly inspired, so thank you so much.
It’s cool that you’ve enjoyed his show enough to watch it more than once! I just dropped a video explaining the themes and references from the show if you want to check that out: th-cam.com/video/jKaf-m4gzyQ/w-d-xo.html
Having gotten more serious about designing fashion myself, we just released a video on jackets in South Africa… I have built my respect more and more for the great designers out there. I love the chances Pharrell takes and think he is very deserving of the position. We can’t wait to see what comes from this relationship with LV
Awesome, I’ll check out your video!
thank you for your video, im studying in fashion school rn, and developing my own brand, it helps when you get a reference of someone else point of view on the role of creative director
This intro is fabulous!
It's so fitting isn't it!! I feel like Virgil use to always move a few steps ahead with things

I was happy to hear your explanation about Pharrell's new position. I had heard about this wonderful experience for Pharrell. Although, I did not read or hear any negativity about it, it shows that people say things and spread things on the net without fully knowing about it.

Thank you
Hey, thanks for the great video! I wanted to ask if anyone could tell me which Documentaries/Videos the background footage is from? Would be super helpful!
I used footage from A LOT of places. Many in the first half of the video are from 'The Kingdom of Dreams' documentary about Pre 2010s fashion, and the rest are just from various videos I've watched and saved on TH-cam over the years. Some footage from Louis Vuitton and Chanel's YT channel's are sprinkled in there as well. Hope this helps
Wow! Excellent narrative, thank you! He broke the mold and they don’t like it! I’m so happy someone recognized his creative genius on a LARGE SALE! Congratulations Pharrell!!
We are in an era of rapid change and inter-changibility .... Skateboard P's knowldege of pop culture and curating of culture is a vision that LV obviously wants, he is an artist who is a Renaissance man naturally and has this magic that will get exhanged in the process, thats what LV want from Pharrell Williams , with his earned knowlege from N.E.R.D to Bathing Ape, Billionaires Boys Club, adidas.... Fashion these days needs curators of pop culture, he is truly an ambassador of Pop Culture. Great overview Micah.
Thank you! I just put out a video explaining the collection if you want to check that out: th-cam.com/video/jKaf-m4gzyQ/w-d-xo.html

I appreciate your insightful exploration of Louis Vuitton's 2024 creative direction involving Pharrell Williams. Your analysis was genuinely enlightening.
As a self-acclaimed fashion critic🙈🤣, one can't help but marvel at the distinctive approach taken by the iconic fashion house Louis Vuitton (LV). The brand has consistently showcased its ability to innovate, a testament to its creative spirit that has stood the test of time.
LV's recent creative decisions serve as a compelling case study. They signal a shift, a calculated risk that pushes boundaries and challenges the status quo, aligning perfectly with LV's dynamic ethos. The rationale behind these changes is not merely whimsical; it reflects a strategic vision to address the evolving demands of the fashion landscape.
The choices made by LV respond to the cultural zeitgeist, catering to a generation that yearns for unique, standout pieces rather than just logos. This shift indicates LV's deep understanding of its audience and the contemporary fashion landscape.
Interesting thoughts! I actually made a video explaining the themes and references of the collection, it sounds like a video you’d be interested in: th-cam.com/video/jKaf-m4gzyQ/w-d-xo.html

🙏🏾😌Be Safe;-).
excellent video
Thank you 🙏 ✨
It really made sense from a accessory’s standpoint to give him the reins, but the challenge will be with the clothing. LV is not a streetwear brand o how will or will he at all keep that connection. Or will he go in a different direction that loses his connection with the streets. This was a very interesting and informative video
Well done speaker
what lens focal length are you using to film this video
Around 70mm, I use the Sony ZV-1!
bumbuclauuut! mi nevva know. learned a lot, big thanks
@mrdecember what camera do you use for your video?
Sony ZV-1!
I love how you showed the moments of grace (a touch from God) were strung together to position Pharrell at LV. Listen to and read the lyrics of the song Joy by Voices of Fire the song Pharrell used for the last show, God is the giver of the gifts and the grace, like the song says…”I’ll go where he leads me”…follow the grace it will lead you just like Pharrell did.
Great video !! Surf Board Wave by Garrick Noel .. UP NEXT
