Tyler, the Creator designs exclusive capsule collection for Louis Vuitton
Pharrell Williams, the Creative Director of Louis Vuitton, has tapped Tyler, the Creator for a exclusive collaborative range of clothing for his first joint menswear offering.
The capsule collection has sportswear influence with golf references, as well as aviation, and preppy accents. On his X, formerly known as Twitter account, Tyler Okonma shared that he designed the Louis Vuitton monogram with an updated motif, named “the Craggy Monogram". The range also includes accessories such as a €210 pocket square, dog-shaped bags, a special edition Courrier Lozine 110 trunk that will retail for €68,000, and more unconventional items such as a cereal bowl and a chess set.
“My main focus was making things I would wear all the time. I dress the same in a meeting as I do a performance or grocery store trip, so hand drawing the monogram felt like the perfect balance to me," Tyler revealed to GQ over email. "The chessboard is one of the greatest things I've made and is definitely my favorite thing from the collection. The team was great to work with, it kinda felt like Big with Tom Hanks. P has always left a door open for me, but I still can’t believe this one.”

“Tyler has been my close friend and collaborator for years and we’ve always connected on music and design,” Williams shared with GQ. “This collaboration is unique to Louis Vuitton because it’s a natural extension of our LVERS philosophy, building on our network of incredible artists and creatives. There are so many elements specific to Tyler built into these pieces and it’s been inspiring to see him hone in on his craft and collaborate with him for this Spring collection.”
The range will launch in late March via Louis Vuitton.
