Tyler, The Creator Just Created This Amazing Collection for Louis Vuitton

Tyler, The Creator has created something very special for Louis Vuitton Men's. According to GQ, Tyler has curated and designed a very creative capsule collection that will be launching globally March 21.
True to Tyler's form as a rapper and creative, his collection is preppy personified, seemingly with a focus on getting men to dress up again after a long streetwear phase.
As musicians, Tyler and Pharrell, creator director of Louis Vuitton, have worked together for years, including on Pharrell's most recent single "Cash In Cash Out" (2022). "Cash in cash out" also to seems to apply to the high price point attached to Vuitton items since Pharrell took creative vision.
"Tyler has been my close friend and collaborator for years and we've always connected on music and design," said Pharrell in an email to GQ. "This collaboration is unique to Louis Vuitton because it's a natural extension of our LVERS philosophy, building on our network of incredible artists and creatives. There are so many elements specific to Tyler built into these pieces and it's been inspiring to see him hone in on his craft and collaborate with him for this Spring collection."
The official name of the collection is the "Louis Vuitton Spring 2024 Men's Capsule by Tyler, The Creator," but most fashionista might just call it fly.
"My main focus was making things I would wear all the time," said Tyler in an emailed statement to GQ. "I dress the same in a meeting as I do a performance or grocery store trip, so hand drawing the monogram felt like the perfect balance to me. The chessboard is one of the greatest things I've made and is definitely my favorite thing from the collection. The team was great to work with, it kinda felt like Big with Tom Hanks. P has always left a door open for me, but I still can't believe this one."
