Pharrell Williams Hints at Upcoming Louis Vuitton and Timberland Collaboration
In a blending of hip-hop and high fashion, Louis Vuitton has teamed up with Timberland to reimagine the iconic 6-Inch Boot. This exciting collaboration, teased on the @skateboard Instagram account, dedicated to showcasing Pharrell Williams' work at Louis Vuitton, is a respectful homage to the boot's classic design rather than a complete overhaul.
The boot features distinctive touches, including a Louis Vuitton logo laser-etched onto the tongue's front, the brand's iconic monogram on the tongue's rear and subtly on the lateral heel, along with co-branded hangtags. The full reveal of this collaboration is anticipated during Louis Vuitton's FW24 show at Paris Fashion Week, scheduled for 8 PM CET on January 16.
This partnership aligns seamlessly with the bold, street-inspired direction Pharrell has brought to Louis Vuitton. His
successful SS24 show displayed designs that resonated with both New York City's urban vibe and Parisian elegance, featuring innovative takes on Louis Vuitton's traditional patterns and oversized logo embellishments. The collection ranged from pixelated camo versions of the Damier pattern to eye-catching Speedy bags, luxurious baseball jackets, and the chunky Trainer Maxi sneakers. Additionally, Louis Vuitton's existing Timberland-inspired designs, such as Pharrell's Checker ankle boot and the Ranger Ankle Boot, further complement this collaborative spirit.
