So, the “In honor of Karl” Met Gala happened on Monday May 1st. Bronx rapper Ice Spice made her event debut in partnership with eBay and Vogue, Jared Leto showed up in a costume modeled after Lagerfeld’s pet cat Choupette, Chen Peng dressed Cardi B, and Chinese music artist Cai Xukun attended holding a fan designed by Chinese artist Xu Bing. Also over the past week, Feng Chen Wang starred in Nike’s new campaign alongside Grammy-award winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion and others.
For Pharrell’s Something In The Water music festival in Virginia Beach, Louis Vuitton (LV) created exclusive merchandise to celebrate its new men’s creative director. The release proves just how much the luxury house plans on leveraging Pharrell’s existing fanbase, showing a distinct affinity to his artistry. Luxury fashion is now centered entirely on popular culture, with brands like LV tapping into the rise of community-led purchasing through merchandise.
