Pharrell Williams used Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2026 Men’s show at Paris Fashion Week as a dual-stage debut, unveiling both a new collection and a slate of unreleased music that underscored his expanding creative reach.
Held Tuesday (Jan. 20) at 2 Rue du Pont Neuf, the show was designed by Williams in his role as Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director, who also curated and produced the evening’s soundtrack—comprised entirely of unheard collaborations expected to surface on forthcoming albums, though no release details have been confirmed.
The runway presentation featured appearances from Williams himself and longtime collaborator Pusha T, setting the tone for a night where fashion and music moved in lockstep.
The first track premiered was “Pray For Ya,” a sleek, gospel-tinged groove with John Legend that blurred sacred and secular themes. “All this money, you can’t help yourself,” Legend drawls on the hook, nodding to Barack Obama before closing the free-spirited anthem with an invitation for listeners to let loose.
Next came “Sex God,” a glossy pop offering from Jackson Wang that marked his first collaboration with Williams. The electro-leaning track was punctuated by a guest verse from Pusha T, who channeled a classic Notorious B.I.G. cadence over Pharrell’s jittery, minimalist production.
Additional unreleased cuts included “Disturbing The P,” a celebratory pairing with A$AP Rocky, and the Quavo-led closer “Hit-A-Lik,” continuing the duo’s growing list of joint efforts.
Williams also shared the stage with Voices of Fire and L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf, led by Thomas Roussel, for a performance of their anticipated single “The One,” which was officially released in conjunction with the show.
The moment capped a landmark year for both Williams and Pusha T. Clipse’s fourth studio album, Let God Sort Em Out, reunited Pusha T and Malice with Williams as sole producer and earned widespread acclaim.
The duo is also up for multiple Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album, alongside nominations for Clipse’s “The Birds Don’t Sing” for Best Rap Song and “Chains & Whips” for Best Rap Performance.
