過去一周,Pharrell 無疑成為了今季時裝周的主角。他以 Louis Vuitton 男裝藝術總監發布了他首個操刀設計的系列,更邀來了一眾 A-List 名人出席,掀起網絡及社交媒體上的「瘋狂洗版」。

在發布系列之後, Pharrell 在今季巴黎男裝周的行程依然緊湊。他一直以座上客身份亮相於不同品牌時裝展前排,從 Loewe 和 Dior、 Junya Watanabe 以至由他的好友 Nigo 擔任藝術總監的 Kenzo。除了戴上他招牌式 Tiffany & Co. 太陽眼鏡之外,Pharrell 身上最引人注目的,或許正是他隨身攜帶的鮮黃色 Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 手袋。

類似的黃色 Speedy 手袋設計成為 Pharrell 在 Louis Vuitton 首次亮相的重要組成部分。但這款黃色 Monogram 的 Speedy 更被稱之為「Millionaire Speedy」(百萬富翁 Speedy 手袋), 不僅外形引人注目,而且極其奢華,據說它的價格更高達 100 萬美元。它採用鱷魚皮製成,由品牌實驗性異域珍稀皮革工作室以手工製作,採用鱷魚皮製成,配有純金鍊條、金色拉鍊和一鑲有 VVS 密鑲鑽石的掛鎖。

雖然他的奢華程度足以讓大多數人卻步,但實際上也代表着 Louis Vuitton 在未來對珍稀皮革手袋設計發展的野心。值得留意是,品牌去年在法國開設了兩家新工作室,其中一家專門生產珍貴皮革製成的高端手袋,此舉反映了 Louis Vuitton 的超高端手袋的生產能力,與當下另一龍頭 Hermès 的競爭。
