Our favorite fashion pioneer is at it again. Pharrell
Williams is now the new spokesman for Louis Vuitton. Not only has he changed
the face of fashion by creating the Millionaire sunglasses, a 14
carat gold ode
to skaters, but now he is the official face of the classic fashion brand. Many
people may not immediately see the importance that this may have but it is
quite revolutionary. For once, a skater is being recognized by a traditional
fashion powerhouse as an influential person in the new era of fashion. With
this new change in pace being made, maybe Kanye will be the new face of Gucci
or Calvin Klein. As legendary as this is, it makes me wonder, will 65-year-old
socialites start wearing BAPES and Ice Creams now?

Wow, i had no idea Pharell was a Louis Vuitton representative. I know that he is a fashion starter and he help bring back Trucker Hats. But for the younger generation trying to afford Louis Vuitton thats going to be hard.

seriously... it was obvious he had wrong tastes after this whole ugly ice cream/bape thing and he's now working for the most reactionary and bourgeois brand? hip hop is dead and pharell should just stop now and shut up. especially after his last album.

This man is destined for even bigger and better things again u watch, everything he does seems to turn out to perfection, i reckon hes from the future or some super smart interllect even when he was in n.e.r.d and spoke about the name of the band and what it represents with energy and matter and the universe and stuff, hes awesum... and have a look at the louis vuitton website they are talking botu space travel and all that kind of stuff, the stuff that pharrell is into, the man is so influential even in his music and music videos u get little hints. the intergalatic artists.. yessur!

this article has some mistakes because Pharrell doesn't skate. If you ever seen him skate you'll know that he sucks. you cant call yourself a skater if you suck at it, but other then that the millionaire sunglasses are hot. big ups to pharrell, nigo, and louis vuitton on releasing these $1000 sunglasses. reselling here i come easy 2 grand.
