Myah Marie Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Good for him, but does he know anything about fashion? I can't understand why some random celebrities think they can have a fashion clothing line if they never even studied fashion in the first place. Sure, it's profitable, but still...

It's one thing to start your own line but another thing completely to take over one of the most iconic fashion houses of all time. I'm really surprised by this tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Virgil, despite his talent, turned LV into a brand that’s mostly about logos and clout. No one who shops at LV does so because they care about materials, tailoring, silhouette, etc… they just want the brand association and that’s it. Pharrell is all of this and doesn’t know anything about making clothes, so yea, makes sense. I guess this finally means Channel will stop terrorizing us with random Pharrell collabs where he just makes everything red and puffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99sandthe2000s Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I liked what he did with the Adidas brand. I think he could have a good impact on LV Menswear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder is he just gonna be a "figurehead" or have day to day design duties and actually run the operation with a team under him. I'm sure such a responsibility can take up a lot of one's time. What's gonna happen with his music career? 1 hour ago, BloodLuster said: too bad Kanye is completely out of his mind cause this was made for him. baby Kanye is punching the air right now. He's probably about to talk so much **** about P to anyone that will listen lol there were loud whispers about Ye being jealous of Virgil when he was alive and had his post at LV despite him smiling in his face.

As for day to day duties, he’s basically going to do nothing while his team of designers come up with every idea and he just points to one. This is sort of weird bc Kanye was originally in talks for this position before Virgil was in the picture, but it was crazy back then for someone without a fashion background to get the position. Now it’s suddenly okay and here we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s suddenly okay and here we are ?? he's peaked commercially, more than once, but Pharrell stays booked and busy behind a switchboard somewhere off his name/status alone. I think we forget that he is primarily a record producer, despite his handful of artist credit hits over the years. Been at this for pretty much 30 years. Also, I forgot that he actually did a collaboration with LV back in the day so the rapport with the company was already there. I think both he and 'ye wanted the job but Kanye is obviously never getting it now. I'll be shocked if he doesn't say anything about this news lol.

Negev Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Louis Vuitton is tacky nowadays, nothing more than a status symbol. Besides Balenciaga that carried the designer athleisure trend, a lot of brands tried to hop on and didn't make the same impact. If Pharrell plans to introduce more of the same he's gonna run LV men into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthteller Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 did he even have any an actual clothing lines other than those crossover collabs like is he just being a so-called "creative directors" as the face front because he's famous and has connections?
