I Still Can’t Believe This—Tyler, The Creator Premieres His Capsule for Pharrell Williams and Louis Vuitton
Today marks the release of the highly anticipated “Louis Vuitton Spring 2024 Men’s Capsule Collection by Tyler, The Creator.” The collaboration between Tyler, Pharrell Williams, and Louis Vuitton has been creating waves in the fashion industry, and the premiere of a short film offers a glimpse into the creative process behind this groundbreaking menswear collection.
The Creative Process Unveiled
Directed, art directed, and styled by Tyler himself, the film showcases the unique elements that he has infused into the collection. As Pharrell Williams noted, “there are so many elements specific to Tyler built into these pieces.” The film follows Tyler as he captures the essence of the capsule collection using his supersized “Tyler” camera, adding a playful touch to the behind-the-scenes narrative.
A Subversion of Preppy Fashion
The collection boldly samples and subverts traditional preppy elements such as golf-gear, cricket sweaters, varsity jackets, fair isle knits, and chinos. At the same time, it embraces the dandy aesthetic that Williams has been cultivating at Louis Vuitton. The casting choices, including Jason Jules and Tyler’s collaborators Travis Bennett, Na-Kel Smith, and Anwar Carrots, add depth and meaning to the campaign.
A Tribute to Collaboration
The film and collection pay homage to the spirit of collaboration and mentorship. Hairstylist Ronnie McCoy III’s words on Instagram reflect the sentiment shared by many involved in the project: “Thank you ain’t enough T. You got them keys and let the homies come with you.” This sentiment echoes Tyler, the Creator’s own disbelief and gratitude towards Pharrell Williams for the opportunity.
As we witness this momentous collaboration between Tyler, Pharrell Williams, and Louis Vuitton, it is evident that the fashion world is in for a treat with the release of this capsule collection. The blend of creativity, subversion, and camaraderie showcased in the film sets the stage for a new chapter in menswear fashion.
