Multi-faceted artist Tyler, The Creator collaborates with Louis Vuitton on capsule collection
Creative director at Louis Vuitton since February 2023, Pharell Williams calls on his friend and long-time collaborator Tyler, The Creator to work on a spring 2024 collection. Entirely men’s, the latter will become available on March 21.
An expected collaboration
“Tyler has been my close friend and collaborator for years and we have always been connected through music and design. This collaboration is unique for Louis Vuitton, as it is a natural extension of our LVers philosophy, which builds on our network of incredible artists and designers There are so many Tyler-specific elements in these pieces and it has been very inspiring to see him focus on his craft and collaborate with him for this spring collection,” says Pharrell. Williams in a statement.
Dandy et Preppy
The outfits feature a combination of dark and bright shades, evoking the spring revival of this collection. They feature the Craggy Monogram, a pattern designed freehand by Tyler, The Creator, available in indulgent shades: cream, vanilla and chocolate. The latter appears on several pieces such as the windbreaker, the grass-effect fleece jacket or the denim jacket which is accompanied by its pants and overalls.
In addition to the two emblematic motifs of the American artist, the daisy and the Airedale Terrier, the Monogram Flower elegantly adorns this collaboration.
When it comes to accessories, shoes are not left out. The two artists, Pharrell Williams and Tyler, The Creator have imagined moccasins and derby boots redesigned in leathers adorned with the Monogram and embellished with couture details. Even the sandals and sneakers borrow elements from the classic Louis Vuitton wardrobe while adding contemporary touches as well as some references to the GOLF le FLEUR brand.
Our favorite is the revised Speedy, which looks like waffles with the LV logo as butter.
In short, this capsule collection has a retro look but is nevertheless contemporary, playful, rich and above all in the image of the two brains hiding behind it: Pharrell Williams and Tyler, The Creator. A unique and emblematic wardrobe which will be available from March 21, 2024.
