In 2021, it was reported that Virgil Abloh, the artistic director for Louis Vuitton, passed away from a rare former cancer at the age of 41. A glaring gap was left at the company following the loss, but now it appears Louis Vuitton has found a successor in the form of Pharrell.
Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Pietro Beccari revealed that Pharrell would be coming on board as the new men’s creative director, a position previously held by Abloh.
Via Instagram, LV’s CEO spoke on the matter, saying, “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. His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards a new and very exciting chapter.” The Neptunes producer's first collection with Louis Vuitton will debut in June 2024 during Men's Fashion Week in Paris.
