Pharrell Williams never expected to become the men’s creative director of Louis Vuitton.
It was announced in February that Williams was taking on the role after Virgil Abloh passed away on November 28, 2021.

He was the pioneer of that, and now you see that all over the place.”
Williams also paid tribute to Abloh — who died at age 41 after a battle with cancer — in the interview.
“I always knew Virgil was special,” Williams told the mag, insisting that he’s maintained the connection to the late
