Pharrell’s Vuitton Debut
Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection introduced Pharrell’s highly anticipated debut as Creative Director of the house. Pharrell’s work with Vuitton started in 2008 where he codesigned a series of eyewear and jewelry. There were lots of expectations and speculation if Pharrell was the right choice for the role as the house was seeking to find a proper successor after the passing of Virgil Abloh. Only Vuitton could shut down the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris for their runway show. Stars filled the seats as William’s collection was presented against the musical backdrop of hip hop and gospel. Williams Voices of Fire Choir performed Joy as the models took the runway for the final walk before Williams and team completed the finale. The collection and show was a perfect mix of what Pharrell has represented over the years. “It’s immersive. And it’s very inspired by the love and support of the people here that I’ve just been blessed to be able to experience over the past 30 years.”

Moncler x Billionaire Boys Club
As BBC celebrates their 20th anniversary, we find ourselves smitten with their new collab with Moncler. The collection features a logo mashup of Moncler’s blue logo with BBC’s astronaut. Moncler’s iconic puffer features BBC’s Diamond & Dollar print down the sleeves as well as the back of the piece. A couple favorites from the collaboration are a wool Diamonds and Dollars knit beanie. The boots in the collection feature a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane along with Vibram MEGAGRIP rubber compound tread which alters the shape just a bit. Of course the signature BBC shirts with the Moncler logo is also a favorite. This collaboration is available now via both brand’s websites as well as all global BBC flagship locations.
Chanel Haute Couture
Virginie Viard presented Chanel’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter collection along the Siene riverbank facing the Eiffel Tower. The collection Viard stated was inspired by Parisian allure. Silhouettes play with masculine codes, mixing together rigor and asymmetry, a self-confident and discreet figure. Here’s some of our favorite looks.
