Pharrell Williams takes Paris Fashion Week by storm

If there was a championship belt on the line for who could kick off Paris Fashion Week with the most news and excitement coming out of it, Pharell Williams might be the victor. As the official Louis Vuitton Men’s artistic director, the pressure was on as Williams had all eyes on him and what he had to display for the big event. Pharrell would work to reveal his Fall/Winter 2025 collection for the designer brand, and he was not alone. Williams, joined by Billionaire Boys Club partner in crime and founder of BAPE, NIGO, displayed some heat that has fans excited for the future of fashion. Joining the fray of characters was the head of Cactus Plant Flea Market, Cynthia Lu, to reveal a heavy hitter for the F/W 2025 season, being an official collaboration piece between LV and CPFM. 

The tee was first showcased on Pharrell's Instagram account and displayed the back of a white tee with the Louis Vuitton logo made out of the signature Cactus Plant Flea Market smiley face in different colors and double eyes.

On the front is a puffed-out LV logo front and center, as well as the classic monogram design in a flag-like shape mixed with the CPFM logo as well. This is reminiscent and possibly a shoutout to the design from just 20 years ago from Kanye West, who featured the Dropout bear character mixed into the monogram, similar to how the CPFM smiley face is in the modern rendition.

Along with the LV collection, Pharrell took to Paris Fashion Week to show off his newest pair of kicks in collaboration with Adidas-- the Jellyfish.

The new sneaker has been seen in two different colorways so far, a white, cream, orange, and black look, and the other being an all-gray version worn by Pharrell on feet. The sneaker is a clunky, dad shoe-type look, which we mentioned was making a return to the mainstream footwear look here in 2025. It seems we were not far off with our prediction, and Pharrell thinks similarly. As far as a retail release date, we are still in a bit of an unknown, but with the shoe being shown off, it looks like we might be able to expect the collaboration to drop sometime in 2025. Being such a unique look for the sneaker, they should be hot sellers and look like they are very wearable, with the orange hits being the main draw to the loudness of the shoe. Be on the lookout, Pharrell is looking to have a stacked year in music as well as fashion.
