The Pharrell Williams Story

- Pharrell Williams is just as much of a fashion icon as he is a music icon, and in this episode of Threaducation we’re going to be taking a look at the insane story of how that came to be. He started his music career as a member of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D., and quickly made connections with industry legends like Jay Z. Pharrell had always been into fashion, but where his journey really started was on a trip to Japan where he met Nigo, the founder of Bape.
We’ll talk about how Nigo helped Pharrell launch Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, and how the two of them completely revolutionized streetwear and sneaker culture. Along the way they collabed the likes of Louis Vuitton, and earned the support of people like Kanye West and Virgil Abloh. There are a lot of crazy twists and turns during this story, but through it all, the same thing remains true - Pharrell Williams is one of the most influential people alive, and his vision has single handedly inspired a new generation of creatives. This is the Pharrell Williams story.

As a man that worked at BBC ICE CREAM office in NYC 2005-2009 I can tell you first hand, from Kanye west to DIDDY, everyone took this man influence . BAPE & BBC is the foundation of where the culture is today. Pharrell open them doors.
Marc jacobs, loic, Phillip, rob walker , many others behind the scenes that played a major role in his decision making. Respects to this video. Pharrell deserves his flowers 💐
Funny enough Pharrell said Kelis influenced his style early on and made him diversify his looks.
@@user-qd6im2hp2e her style brings Pharrell to the yard
@@user-qd6im2hp2e how early on? because you can do something different but if i do it BESTTTT then i still credit the person who made it fire more
i never saw anybody doing Skateboard street wear or Japanese clothing with the wild flavor colors before P and EVERYBODY jacked him as the years went by....i seen someone say once everything Kanye has done Pharrell did first AND he did it better everytime and i tend o agree for the most part cuz every trend pharell started noone one ever topped the style choices he made🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 even Tyler his pastel colors AND his chords all are very very remiinescent of Neptunes sounds
Nigo influenced all of that not Pharrell🤦🏾♂️ Pharrell’s swag wasn’t influential before Nigo
This was so interesting but we need to include how Kelis actually shaped A LOT of his style identity shift that you speak of, she deserves her flowers for this and for helping his trajectory into high fashion
This man just figured out how to be a kid his whole life
Kids do what they please without thinking about what others might say…. They truly are free spirited until they cave into society’s “rules and guideline” how everyone should have a uniform way of carrying themselves
Michael Jackson
@@whidoineedthis he didn't get to be a kid so its a lil different
@@emmanuelleroy2915hopefully i can get back to that feeling of not giving af. i lost myself along the way but now im on the road to finding that carefree part of myself once again😊
Such a legend. Always been a trendsetter from when he came with N.E.R.D and made the trucker hat fashionable.
super facts!!! ashton kutcher even stole his swag lol
really wish he woulve talked bout this in the doc more
was that before Von Dutch became popular?
Pharrell deserves all his flowers when we think of streetwear!! One of the original sneakers, jewelry and raw denim king! He has exquisite taste. Let’s not forget he’s been working with Chanel since Karl Largerfeld
I cant really talk about pharrell's history but ever since i found out about him from Happy , i took interest , what a living legend he really isn't spoken about enough.
Pharrell been out since like 98 and been on top as an artist , designer, producer, just all out curator of all things timeless...super super SUPER legend also a case to be made that hes done everything Kanye aspired to do before Ye did and (MAYBE) even better....
@@maverikregime6885 hm you said something there
Happy....🤦
Damn you gotta be young asf
my goat at louis hahaahahahahahahahaha
This video gonna spike up now after the LV announcement. Props to you for being ahead of the game
I can't believe Pharrell is 49. Dude looks like he's 25
He's a vamp
He's, 25 for the 24th time
This is a bold lie. That man looks every bit of in his 40’s and that’s ok
Black don’t crack 🤷🏿♂️
Skin care routine goes godly man’s spawn camping his face blemishes at this point
Pharrell was ahead of the curve musically and ESPECAILLY in fashion i dont think a single person was doing the Skateboarder streetwear trend before Skateboard P or the Japanese crazy wild colors before Bape and BBC. literally every single person bit P waves a true style god and innovator in all aspects and fecets shoutout to the gawd!! seen him doing so many creative things before they became cool AND he ALWAYS did it best 🙏🏾oh and lastly all of his work has aged SOO gracefully i still see people wear Bape BBC Ice Cream Human and anything else he touches like it never went out of style stuff he not only gets copied but gets recreated and worn like it just came out today because his genius is NEVER questioned..to me hes the most fashionable Icon weve ever seen in the culture point blank the ony other person giving him a run for his money is Kanye and itd truly be a fight to the finish.
It’s like you don’t know how to disappoint, this was such an obvious choice to do, yet I never even thought about it. May God Bless Thread, always enlightening us 😮💨
This hits differently now that Pharrell is Louis Vuitton’s Creative Director
Yess! I always felt like people in the hip hop community overlooked Pharrell’s and NERD’s/Neptunes influence in hip hop. This was much needed 🔥
Thank you for this. I was watching a bunch of fashion documentaries and Pharrell was right there front row but no one really talks about his influence in the fashion world
the way you introduced nigo was so cooool 😭
The way he connected to Nigo. The way things happened since his beggining its very inspiring so fire
remember me
This is excellent, and what a champ for providing us with a list of the source material!
Always excited for these uploads!!!
A 40 minute video. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED🤞🏾
This is such a great video, the story so well told and researched. Much respect! I'm following Pharell since his first Neptunes times and really looking forward what he'll do at LV.
Came back to this video after he was appointed LV’s creative director 🔥
I love the great work been here since day one , wanted to gatekeeper this account for the longest but truly happy with your success
Everyone of your videos is well researched and no matter the topic or what designer you choose. Love every one of your videos
Just the uploaded needed to get our vibes right early morning
Finally, the video we needed 💛.
wonderful documentary! Thank you!
My role model. Always been a major influence in my life. Whether it's the music he makes, clothes he wore or even the things he says. Love this dude to bits.
This channel amazing keep it up! Just a suggestion, you should probably make a ye one
Great & unexpected video.. learned even more about Pharrell & a lot of this brought me back to a few years back.. great content & knowledge as always… if I can plzzz request a video on YSL, Dior, or Chanel
I remember he mentioned how Kelis was the one who told her to starting rocking high fashion
Just watch your video on Ms. Westwood and I’ve been binging your channel ever since, i love it sm
If anyone found this interesting I highly recommend the Jimmy Gorecki (JSP / Standard Issue Tees) episode of Throwing Fits podcast (originally called Failing Upwards) hosted by Jimmy Harris and Larry Schlossman who you may remember from Complex's "Fashion Bros" show.
It's a great podcast, the guys are hilarious and if you're into menswear and pop culture it's a good listen.
But anyways, the Jimmy Gorecki episode is tangential to this Pharrell video as he talks about his time skating for Ice Cream and shares some stories of Pharrell at the time. He goes on to talk about starting his own clothing companies JSP and standard issue tees (which I highly recommend the latter for high quality sweats).
Seriously THANK YOU as I learned alot from watching this. Now I know the whole story about Reebok which is crazy and being from Australia when BBC / Ice Cream originally dropped it was near to impossible to get. Good times though.
Amazing video, learnt a lot , .. always found (and still find) his style fresh, cool, chill & chic
L
Love this channel & keep up the good vibes & work ✌🏻
Maybe a video about the history from the oldest (older then Hermes) Belgian leather bags company DELVAUX (they made a few y back a cool collab with the Rene Magritte foundation)
Rene Magritte was a painter from Belgium

Criminally underrated channel
ive watched this 500 times on loop i promise you...the absolute Goat all things art fashion music everything
As soon as I saw on my feed I got excited lol
Love Human Made. So simplistic & eye catching dawg.
I genuinely think we will see a revival of Billionaire Boys Club in a few years like we’ve seen with other 90s brand, it was so much in the zeitgeist that itd be a shame if it was missed from the nostalgia wave
Damn I thought BBC has been back since 2016. A lot of people around my area still wear hella BBC / Ice Cream they even sell that shit at Nordstrom on the discount racks for like $30 bro
@@marcusanthony906 i meant more like a cultural revival more than anything

44 minute pharrell doc lets go

At least we can say our homie Threaducation was already aware of Pharrell’s impact before the hype train with LV
What about his custom birkin bag!! Or his custom Richard Mille??!!!? And let’s not forget the custom American Express card!!
absolutely love how much research goes into these videos. thank you!
Yes bro new video!
This video saving my life during class 🙏
You should do a video on Lupe Fiasco, he’s influence on streetwear is very underrated.
hmm.. I’m curious. How so?
I’m at work watching this and I know I’m destined for something greater!
If you want me to pay for a longer video about this I'm here for it. I will live and die inside the Pharrell multiverse
HES BACK, welcome back
The Pharrell and my mind avatars actually came in during social media era. It came out during the MySpace era, which I seen people on other social media sites that did not last long using the avatars. People often forget about zynga and black planet. I've had the internet in my household since 1995 I know a lot of kids my age weren't blessed that way. But the very first social media I knew of was called our town it was an AOL only social media and I created my profile in 1999. I've had a Zynga since 2001. I signed up from MySpace either the end of 2002 or the beginning of 2003.
never disappoints
Love it ❤️
this bout to be a banger
Kelis is the reason he started wearing Bape and got into designer clothes in general.
Top tier content
Welcome back
already know this is gonna be a banger
it is
Never clicked a notification this quick🥲
The business man pun made me actually laugh out loud
Was hoping for you to speak on his association with Christian Louboutin. He claimed to have been rocking the brand before people knew what it was on an A$AP Rocky track
ALWAYS WAITING, ALWAYS GET FIRE MATERIAL!!! ALL BEST
My idol 🙌🏾
