Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton Debut Show Was Star-Studded

The long-awaited debut of Pharrell Williams as the new Louis Vuitton Menswear creative director is finally here, and it was an unforgettable experience. From beginning to end, guests were given an unforgettable experience that began the moment they received the invite for the Spring/Summer 2024 collection.

The Invitation and Location

The invitation alluded to a theme that celebrated joy and love. The outdoor event took place at Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, which was clad in gold throughout, and guests took a boat from the Musée d’Orsay to the bridge.

The Sun Motif

Bringing the sun motif to the collection, Pharrell looks to it as a universal source of life, explaining that “In moments like this, when you’ve been chosen to do something, the sun is shining on you.”

The “LVERS” Concept

The collection hinges on the idea of “LVERS,” and Pharrell looks towards the iconic LV Damier chess board pattern. Incorporating the historic monogram with the Damier print, Pharrell fuses it with a pixelated aesthetic. “The fact that it has the chessboard setup, we could use the grid as a platform to play with different artistic techniques” added Pharrell.

Front Row Celebrities and Music Featured

The show saw a star-studded attendance, witnessing front-row appearances from the likes of Jared Leto, Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, JAY-Z among others. After the finale, Hov and P-performed the best hits for guests before capping off the night.

Inspired by Motor Racing

The collection, which counted motor racing among its inspirations, looked right at home in Miami. A number of jumpsuits — recalling a car mechanic’s overalls — were rendered in sequins and Chanel’s famous tweed while a checkered flag-motif appeared on a sporty selection of garments including baseball caps and a swimsuit.

Destination Shows’ Future

Chanel’s Miami summit indicates that the appetite for “destination shows” — runways held outside a label’s home city is the future of the fashion world that will attract more attendees.
