The “Happy” singer’s first task as artistic director was to use Louis Vuitton motifs for the 2024 collection. Pharrell went the damier and monogram route with his designs.
During an interview with Vogue, Williams discussed how he oversaw menswear but designed the collection “for humans” because “it’s something for everybody.”

Flaunting his hard work, Williams brought attention to the beloved Speedy Bag. He and his team reworked the bag to have a more “buttery” leather texture, describing it as “pinchable and collapsible.”
The Maison collection’s Speedy bags come in various colors, which Rihanna modeled in Williams’ campaign photo — from green and yellow to blue and red.
“There are so many other stars in your constellation,” William stated. “Once you realize that the constellation isn’t even your doing, you’re lucky to exist and shine in that moment where the universe has put these things around you to make a sign,” says Williams. “That is how I felt with this appointment. I woke up and got that call, so I’m honored.” He adds, “I’m continuing to give reverence to the universe for sending this my way.”
Halfway through the fashion show, the Voices of Fire choir performed “Joy,” a song written by Williams. They were conducted by the “Get Lucky” singer’s uncle, Bishop Ezekiel Williams.
