Paris-ALSHARQIYA June 21: The Paris Fashion Week for men's fashion for spring and summer 2024 kicked off yesterday, Tuesday, and its first day witnessed the warmly awaited Louis Vuitton show, as it was the first show of the house after the multi-talented star Pharrell Williams took over the creative management duties of men's fashion in it.
This show was held on the "Bon Nonff" bridge, one of the most prominent landmarks of the city of Paris, in the presence of 1,750 guests, presented by international stars such as: Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Zendaya ... The checkered print of Louis Vuitton was the star of the party, as it covered most of the clothes and accessories After being covered with touches of renewal.
Pharrell Williams, 50, faced a great challenge in this show, as it was his first design experience after assuming creative management duties at Louis Vuitton after the death of designer Virgil Ablow, who succeeded in linking this ancient French house with street elegance before his death in 2021. But Pharrell is talented. Not only in the field of art, where he works as a producer and singer (he is the owner of the song Happy, which achieved exceptional success), but he is also talented in the field of fashion, as he is known for his distinguished taste and his many collaborations with the most famous international fashion houses such as: Chanel, Tiffany, and Moncler.
The show included about 75 men's looks that were interspersed with some feminine designs. The designer relied on the military "camouflage" print, which he implemented through the house's iconic squares. At the beginning of the show, Pharrell relied on a very limited color palette that was limited to shades of green in addition to white, black, gray, and beige. In the second part, denim material appeared and different colors entered the looks, most of which were decorated with squares, and the LV monogram appeared embroidered on the designs.
The bags were the most prominent present in this show, and we saw them in a variety of sizes, from very small to even travel bags that recall the house's ancient past and its beginnings in the field of manufacturing leather bags for travelers. The checkered print also appeared heavily on the bags, and strong colors that are rarely used in the implementation of men's bags entered them, including: red, blue, green, orange, and yellow. As for the shoes, they were inspired by a sports or military character. The models decked out in a variety of hats, sunglasses, and necklaces.
Pharrell Williams succeeded in presenting a collection that lived up to the expectations of fashion critics and followers on social media. His approach to the worlds of art and fashion is very popular and has previously been responsible for his many successes that he achieved during his career.
