Pharrell Williams is in talks with Louis Vuitton to become the brand’s next menswear designer, reports WSJ citing people “familiar with the matter.”

If chosen, the rapper and super producer, 49, would succeed the late Virgil Abloh, who passed away in November 2021. Virgil was the first Black American to hold a head design role at a European luxury brand. The details about their talks have not been revealed. It’s also not clear what exact title Pharrell would hold if appointed.

A representative for Pharrell did not respond to a request for comment from the publication but several of his close friends, including Steven Victor and Pusha T hinted that the news is legitimate.
