The celebrity music producer and entrepreneur is taking the role last held by the late designer Virgil Abloh and will debut his first collection in Paris in June.
In a statement, Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Pietro Beccari said he’s glad to welcome Williams “back home” following his earlier collaborations with the house in 2004 and 2008. “His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards a new and very exciting chapter,” Beccari added.
In announcing his appointment, Louis Vuitton showed Williams draped in an LV-logo blanket. Expect the Grammy-winning producer and rapper — who has worked with such artists as Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rihanna and Justin Timberlake — to tap his extensive contacts in music, art, fashion and Hollywood to keep the house attuned and connected to pop culture.
