Redefining cool for a new generation, Pharrell Williams is a creative
force, using music, fashion, and design to express his distinctive
style. Originating at the crossroads of art, design, popular culture,
and street savvy, Pharrell Williams’s output is unique. By playing off
different disciplines—namely music, fashion, street art, and design—and
using each as an element in the other, Pharrell has redefined the role
of the contemporary recording artist, blazing a trail for other
musicians and prominent cultural figures. Illustrated with lavish
photography, this book also explores his musical career in depth,
charting his many projects from his production team The Neptunes, to the
band N.E.R.D., and his collaborations with friends Kanye West, Jay-Z,
Snoop Dogg, and other hip-hop royalty. This unprecedented volume
documents Pharrell’s prolific body of work and his contribution to
contemporary culture. In his own unique graphic language, he details his
extensive creative pursuits, including clothing lines, jewelry, and
accessories designs for Louis Vuitton, furniture and other product
design, 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.
