"I see dandyism as a set of rules and standards" - Pharrell Williams explains his vision for the 2025 Met Gala in exclusive cover story with Vogue
Three weeks before debuting his Louis Vuitton collection and unique take on the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme, creative director of the luxury mens fashion brand, Pharrell Williams, sat down for an exclusive cover story with Vogue.
On April 15, 2025, Pharrell was interviewed by Vogue Magazine reporter Chioma Nnadi, who asked the Louis Vuitton creative director for his take on this year's theme for the Met Gala.
"I see dandyism as a set of rules and standards, that reflect a certain sophistication and well-traveled taste. For Black people to hit that mark or exceed it, and be consistent with it, is a matter of pride. And consistency garners respect," Pharrell Williams stated.
Pharrell continued by highlighting the importance of reflecting "Black resiliency," with the creative director and music producer citing that the world continues to be colonized by policies and legislation.
"That’s why it’s so important to me to have successful Black and brown people of every stripe in the room: not just athletes and actors and actresses, entertainers, but also authors, architects, folks from the fintech world. We’ve got to invest in each other," Pharrell explained.
Pharrell went on to explain why it's necessary to "connect" with one another to collectively collaborate and create a "strong and reliable" force of black and brown geniuses.
"We’ve got to connect with each other, because it’s going to take everybody to coalesce the force of Black and brown genius into one strong, reliable force. It’s our turn," Williams concluded.
Other major celebrities and A-listers who attended the 2025 Met Gala include Rihanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Damson Idris, Zendaya, Kylie Jenner, and Charli XCX.
