Pharrell Williams has had his fair share of show-stopping accessories, but he may have topped them all with his $1 million Louis Vuitton Speedy. Williams, who became the French label’s menswear creative director in 2023, launched his first collection with Louis Vuitton in Paris last week.
Williams has extended his stay in the fashion capital, attending the Lowe’s Spring 2024 menswear presentation with his wife, Helen Lacichan, and their son, Rocket. The show’s star-studded guest list includes Emily Ratajkowski, Troye Sivan and „Heir” Nicholas Brown.
Williams’ expensive Speedy, nicknamed „Millionaire,” is part of his spring 2024 Louis Vuitton collection. The small duffel is crafted from yellow crocodile leather and embossed with the brand’s signature monogram pattern. It also has a diamond encrusted chain strap.
The millionaire has already made a few appearances at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, with Williams showing the bag at Junya Watanabe, Dior Homme, Kenzo and now Loewe.
Williams’ new favorite accessory shares its name with a pair of oversized frames she co-designed for Louis Vuitton. Millionaire sunglasses debuted during Marc Jacobs’ tenure at the fashion house.
These days, Williams favors a smaller pair of specs. She wears her yellow gold frames by Tiffany & Co. customized by, and like the millionaire bag, they are encrusted with 20 carats of diamonds. Baguette and round cut stones are selected in the circular sunnies.
Williams first opened his own Tiffany & Co. in 2022. Made glasses. Apart from diamonds, almond-shaped glasses also include emeralds attached to each hinge.
„You know Tiffany and I are engaged,” he first told WWD, calling the 2022 collaboration „the first of many things I’m going to do with Tiffany.”
