Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams tap Tyler, the Creator for Spring 2024 Men’s Capsule Collection

Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams tap Tyler, the Creator for Spring 2024 Men’s Capsule Collection

Louis Vuitton and Tyler, the Creator have unveiled a Spring 2024 Men’s Capsule Collection, spotlighting the savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton through the creative lens of the American rapper and long-time friend and collaborator of Pharrell Williams.

The looks celebrate the LVERS community, a global artistic network connected by an appreciation of the Maison’s craftsmanship. The collaboration takes the ongoing relationship between Louis Vuitton and Tyler, the Creator to a new level following his composition of the soundtrack for the Fall-Winter 2022 Men’s show.  

An instinctive union between two visual universes, the collection fuses Pharrell Williams’ signature elegant dandy dressing vibe with a sophisticated preppy wardrobe. Melding Tyler, the Creator’s iconography with that of Louis Vuitton, the Craggy Monogram – hand-drawn in a stylized version by the artist himself – becomes the emblem of the exclusive collection. Rendered in pastels, chocolate and vanilla, the motif evokes the creamy colors of liquefied textures found in patisserie, a nod to the donuts logo of the Odd Future hip-hop collective  co-founded by Tyler, the Creator.

The HUGO BOSS Foundation welcomes its first long-term partner Coral Gardeners

The HUGO BOSS Foundation welcomes its first long-term partner Coral Gardeners

The HUGO BOSS Foundation joins forces with Coral Gardeners, a non-profit organization that focuses on coral restoration and ocean preservation in French Polynesia, Fiji, and soon also in Thailand. Launched in 2023, the HUGO BOSS Foundation is driven by the purpose to be “Bold for the Planet”, supporting climate and environmental protection initiatives around the world. The foundation plans to donate an amount of EUR 1.8 million to Coral Gardeners over multiple years to support their mission.

Established in 2017 by Titouan Bernicot, Coral Gardeners has evolved into a global collective comprising of scientists, engineers, creators, and advocates determined to revolutionize the field of ocean conservation through the use of digital tools and AI technology. The HUGO BOSS Foundation will support Coral Gardeners with funds to cultivate heat-resilient coral fragments in nurseries, to educate local communities and to build ocean ecosystems, which are fully AI monitored by their ReefOS system.

After witnessing the devastating impact of coral bleaching on the island where they were raised, Bernicot and his friends decided to take action against the rapid degradation of reef ecosystems. He explains: “As we progress towards scaling up production and expanding our international reach, we are thrilled to have the financial backing of the HUGO BOSS Foundation. Without proper action, all corals are at risk of disappearing by 2050 with disastrous consequences for life on Earth. We are looking forward to making a sustainable impact together and working towards our goal of growing one million corals worldwide.” The Coral Gardeners aim to scale up reef restoration around the world to regenerate the ocean.

With the “Every Purchase Counts” initiative, HUGO BOSS donates five cents for every own product sold worldwide, both offline and online (excluding licensed products). This way, all customers of the BOSS and HUGO brands automatically support the work of the HUGO BOSS Foundation.
