Tyler, the Creator, known for his design prowess in the world of streetwear, has now ventured into the realm of European high-fashion through a collaboration with Louis Vuitton. The creative director of LV, Pharrell Williams, has enlisted the rapper to co-create a new capsule collection, marking a significant milestone in Tyler’s expanding design portfolio.
The collection, deeply rooted in Tyler’s personal style, features a range of items including socks and sandals, golf-inspired knitwear, tailored shorts, and a special edition of LV’s iconic Courrier Lozine 110 trunk, priced at €68,000. Notably, the rapper’s penchant for briefcases has been translated into a unique interpretation of the iconic trunk, reflecting his individual aesthetic.
Moreover, the collaboration introduces a brown suit and leather accessories adorned with Tyler’s hand-drawn reinterpretation of the LV monogram, aptly named the ‘Craggy Monogram’. This innovative approach follows Pharrell’s introduction of ‘Damoflage’ during the label’s SS24 show, a pixelated camouflage version of the Damier check, showcasing a trend of reimagining the brand’s heritage under Pharrell’s creative vision.
With Tyler, the Creator’s foray into the realm of Louis Vuitton, the boundaries between streetwear and high-fashion continue to blur, offering a fresh perspective on luxury design that resonates with a new generation of fashion enthusiasts.
