Description
Lavishly illustrated with over 400 sketches, concept renderings and photographs, this book features Pharrell William's prolific body of work in his unique graphic language, including apparel from his Ice Cream/Billionaire Boys Club clothing Line (which he developed with *A Bathing Ape® founder NIGO®), his jewellery and accessories designs for Louis Vuitton, his furniture designs for Domeau & Pérès, as well as 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. This comprehensive book also explores Pharrell William's musical career in depth, from his role as producer for the Neptunes to the band N.E.R.D, and his collaborations with friends Kanye West, Jay-Z, Snoop Dog and other hip-hop royalty. One of the few artists to successfully weave together his varying talents and interests, Pharrell's unique body of work uses elements of music, fashion, street art and product design to create an industry, with one segment both supporting and inspiring the others. Critical essays lend context and position Pharrell's work within contemporary visual and material culture. With sections examining his design work, his music career, his collaborations and his inspirations, this volume gives readers insight into the synergetic process which has brought the artist such success.
