Episode notes

Pharrell Williams will set the general direction of Louis Vuitton. He has no formal training as a clothes designer, he says. But there are traditionalists who think that somebody who heads a fashion house should be a designer. There's also some people who are incredibly excited where the industry is going and say this is a great appointment.

Pharrell Williams was happy to be named the new head of Louis Vuitton’s menswear, but his appointment had fashion industry hopefuls feeling like they never get lucky. Nick Kostov and Jacob Gallagher from the Wall Street Journal explain their scoop.

This episode was produced by Siona Peterous, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
