Pharrell Williams, creative director of Louis Vuitton menswear, sits down with Vogue China’s Margaret Zhang (Editor-in Chief, Vogue China) and Yiling Pan (Vogue Business China Associate Editorial Director) at the Louis Vuitton store in Beijing. Pharrell talks about the inspiration for his pre-fall collection, Louis Vuitton’s presence in China, and his philosophy on life and how it intersects with fashion. Williams also expounds on the talents of his Louis Vuitton collaborators, why he considers himself a creative director and not a ‘fashion designer,’ and the democratization of creativity and discoverability.

@ernanio this is late, but it's due to that he was accepted. If not, then he would create his own. Nothing wrong with attempting to join that which already exist but, don't rely on the acceptance just do your best and keep moving. So many people there's bound to be someone out there that supports you, which leads to more supporters overtime, rather slow or fast.

Being a fashion designer chinese culture is great the colors and flow of garments are simply awesome. every one has a different story of there collection which depends on three thing they are 1) nature & culture 2) event 3) celebrity this 3 platfrom where the designer show their creativity. 1) nature & culture allow you to change the concept according like summer outfit cant wear in winter. if some places are very famous or culture also play major role 2) event like sports etc allow to do design to help the crowd make in uniformity . 3) celebrity- if a country has more number of famous celebrity that means the followers will be more arround the world that also play major role in fashion industries

I cannot believe the shallowness of Pharrell's replies. Not a single question was *actually* answered; all ended up being ego-maximising and vague at best. I think part of the role of a creative director is to be honest and mindful of certain shortcomings that come with managing a brand, especially a giant like LV. I was really curious to learn about Pharrell's vision, but this interview made me feel bitter about his appointment at LV.

Usually the interviewers are asking disappointing questions to bright designers. They were phenomenal interviewers and Pharrell couldn't have been less intelligent with his responses. It is devastating to me that there are so many talented designers who have worked their entire lives that have valuable experiences that have been discarded so someone with absolutely no experience, passion, knowledge, or even a basic understanding of the world to be given such an important title. This last show will be the lowest selling season in decades and quite sad because so many people will be fired for his incompetence.
