Pharrell's new role was previously held by Virgil Abloh, who died in 2021 after a long battle with cancer.

\"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,\" Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Pietro Beccari said in a statement on Tuesday. \"His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards a new and very exciting chapter.\"

While this is Pharrell's first fashion title of this magnitude, the 13-time Grammy Award-winning artist is no stranger to the fashion world: He is also a designer and entrepreneur with his Billionaire Boys Club as well as Ice Cream apparel lines.
