If you’ve ever longed to saunter through town exuding confidence and style, then look no further than US rapper Tyler, the Creator and his sensational Louis Vuitton capsule collection. Spring-Summer 2024 is right around the corner, bringing with it a wave of excitement in the realm of men’s fashion.

Handpicked by Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director, Pharrell Williams, Tyler has injected his vibrant and preppy style into the iconic luxury brand. The “Craggy Monogram” has breathed new life into the collection, infusing it with a youthful and fresh energy.

This collaboration is a testament to the close relationship between Pharrell and Tyler, stretching beyond music into the world of fashion. Pharrell’s mentorship has played a pivotal role in shaping Tyler’s career, and the rapper is forever grateful for the doors his friend has opened for him.

Tyler’s foray into fashion is not a recent development. His colourful sneaker line in partnership with Converse, alongside streetwear line Golf Wang and its refined counterpart Golf Le Fleur, have made a mark. Let’s not forget his previous collaborations with Louis Vuitton, which include composing music for their Men’s Fall-Winter 2022 show.

The upcoming capsule collection is a treasure trove of delights, offering pastel checkerboard-print golf bags, windbreakers, cereal bowls, and a staggering €15,000 chessboard. Yes, you read that correctly! So, whether you’re a chess aficionado or a golf enthusiast, this collection is tailored to your tastes.

This collaboration arrives on the heels of an eventful year for Pharrell as Louis Vuitton’s creative director. Two remarkable runway shows in Paris, including the instantly-viral Wild West-themed Fall-Winter 2024 show, and a pre-Fall show in Hong Kong, have solidified his reputation. Not to mention, names like Rihanna and LeBron James have graced Louis Vuitton campaigns under his direction.

Pharrell’s commitment to diversifying the brand’s ambassadors has made waves. Sports stars like NBA rookie Victor Wembanyama and tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz, as well as K-pop idols BTS’ J-Hope, GoT7’s BamBam, and Stray Kids’ Felix, now represent the brand. In an interview with the New York Times, Pharrell highlighted his mission to make Louis Vuitton more inclusive and representative of various cultures.
