Pharrell Williams is just as much of a fashion icon as he is a music icon, and in this episode of Threaducation we’re going to be taking a look at the insane story of how that came to be. He started his music career as a member of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D., and quickly made connections with industry legends like Jay Z. Pharrell had always been into fashion, but where his journey really started was on a trip to Japan where he met Nigo, the founder of Bape.
We’ll talk about how Nigo helped Pharrell launch Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, and how the two of them completely revolutionized streetwear and sneaker culture. Along the way they collabed the likes of Louis Vuitton, and earned the support of people like Kanye West and Virgil Abloh. There are a lot of crazy twists and turns during this story, but through it all, the same thing remains true - Pharrell Williams is one of the most influential people alive, and his vision has single handedly inspired a new generation of creatives. This is the Pharrell Williams story.

As a man that worked at BBC ICE CREAM office in NYC 2005-2009 I can tell you first hand, from Kanye west to DIDDY, everyone took this man influence . BAPE & BBC is the foundation of where the culture is today. Pharrell open them doors. Marc jacobs, loic, Phillip, rob walker , many others behind the scenes that played a major role in his decision making. Respects to this video. Pharrell deserves his flowers 💐

i never saw anybody doing Skateboard street wear or Japanese clothing with the wild flavor colors before P and EVERYBODY jacked him as the years went by....i seen someone say once everything Kanye has done Pharrell did first AND he did it better everytime and i tend o agree for the most part cuz every trend pharell started noone one ever topped the style choices he made🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 even Tyler his pastel colors AND his chords all are very very remiinescent of Neptunes sounds

Pharrell was ahead of the curve musically and ESPECAILLY in fashion i dont think a single person was doing the Skateboarder streetwear trend before Skateboard P or the Japanese crazy wild colors before Bape and BBC. literally every single person bit P waves a true style god and innovator in all aspects and fecets shoutout to the gawd!! seen him doing so many creative things before they became cool AND he ALWAYS did it best 🙏🏾oh and lastly all of his work has aged SOO gracefully i still see people wear Bape BBC Ice Cream Human and anything else he touches like it never went out of style stuff he not only gets copied but gets recreated and worn like it just came out today because his genius is NEVER questioned..to me hes the most fashionable Icon weve ever seen in the culture point blank the ony other person giving him a run for his money is Kanye and itd truly be a fight to the finish.

If anyone found this interesting I highly recommend the Jimmy Gorecki (JSP / Standard Issue Tees) episode of Throwing Fits podcast (originally called Failing Upwards) hosted by Jimmy Harris and Larry Schlossman who you may remember from Complex's "Fashion Bros" show. It's a great podcast, the guys are hilarious and if you're into menswear and pop culture it's a good listen. But anyways, the Jimmy Gorecki episode is tangential to this Pharrell video as he talks about his time skating for Ice Cream and shares some stories of Pharrell at the time. He goes on to talk about starting his own clothing companies JSP and standard issue tees (which I highly recommend the latter for high quality sweats).

The Pharrell and my mind avatars actually came in during social media era. It came out during the MySpace era, which I seen people on other social media sites that did not last long using the avatars. People often forget about zynga and black planet. I've had the internet in my household since 1995 I know a lot of kids my age weren't blessed that way. But the very first social media I knew of was called our town it was an AOL only social media and I created my profile in 1999. I've had a Zynga since 2001. I signed up from MySpace either the end of 2002 or the beginning of 2003.
