Pharrell Williams is entering a new era. The musician will succeed the late Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton.

Williams, 49, is gearing up to take over the role as artistic director of menswear, CNN reported on Tuesday, February 14. “I am glad to welcome Pharrell back home, after our collaborations in 2004 and 2008 for Louis Vuitton, as our new men’s creative director,” Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton’s chairman and CEO, said in a statement to the news outlet. “His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards a new and very exciting chapter.” Abloh held the gig until his death at age 41 in November 2021.
