Pharrell Williams unveiled both a new Louis Vuitton menswear collection and a series of unreleased musical collaborations at the brand’s Fall-Winter 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, January 20.
A Dual Debut for Williams
Williams, in his role as Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director, designed the show held at the Louis Vuitton Foundation and curated its soundtrack. The music featured entirely new collaborations, with plans for release on forthcoming albums, though specific dates remain unconfirmed.
The runway presentation included appearances by Williams and his longtime collaborator, Pusha T, signaling a convergence of fashion and music throughout the evening.
New Music Takes Center Stage
The show premiered several new tracks. “Pray For Ya,” featuring John Legend, blended gospel and secular themes, with Legend referencing Barack Obama in his lyrics. Jackson Wang’s “Sex God” marked his first collaboration with Williams, featuring a verse from Pusha T delivered in a style reminiscent of The Notorious B.I.G.
Additional unreleased songs included “Disturbing The P” with A$AP Rocky and “Hit-A-Lik” featuring Quavo. Williams also performed with Voices of Fire and L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf, led by Thomas Roussel, debuting their single “The One,” which was officially released alongside the show.
