Redefining cool for a new generation, Pharrell Williams is a creative force who uses music, fashion and design to express his signature style. Emerging at the intersection of art, design, popular culture and street savvy, Pharrell Williams' output is unique.
By playing with different disciplines - music, fashion, street art and design - and using each as an element in the others, Pharrell has redefined the role of the contemporary recording artist and paved a path for other musicians and prominent cultural figures.

In his own unique graphic language, he describes his extensive creative pursuits, including clothing lines, jewelry and accessories designs for Louis Vuitton, furniture and other product designs, limited-edition toys, graphic designs, skate graphics, and collaborations with Moncler, Marc Jacobs, the artist KAWS, and with architects Zaha Hadid and Masamichi Katayama/Wonderwall.
