Tyler, the Creator is unveiling his latest creation.
Louis Vuitton on Wednesday revealed a new men's spring 2024 capsule collection designed by the brand's menswear creative director Pharrell Williams and Tyler, the Creator.
"I wanted to mix my style and Louis Vuitton's codes together in a way that felt slightly whimsical but could still be worn to the gas station on a Tuesday," Tyler, the Creator, whose real name is Tyler Okonma, wrote on Instagram as he shared a look at the collection.
It includes everything from pastel jackets and sweaters evoking some of the rapper's iconic looks to dog patterns, golf bags and a chessboard with wavy pieces. On Instagram, he dubbed this chessboard "my favorite thing ive made" and shared his excitement for it in another post, writing, "Have you seen that chessboard?!!!!"
The collection also features a tweaked, hand-drawn version of Louis Vuitton's monogram.
"What an experience being in that office, imagination running wild," he shared.

Williams was named creative director of Louis Vuitton menswear in 2023, taking over for the late designer Virgil Abloh. He previously worked with Louis Vuitton on collaborations in 2004 and 2008 with his 1.1 millionaire sunglasses. The collaboration comes on the heels of Williams' fall/winter 2024 menswear showing in Paris earlier this year, which highlighted Black cowboys and took cues from Western dress.
Tyler, the Creator told GQ that he focused on "making things I would wear all the time" in designing his collection.
"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," he said. "The chessboard is one of the greatest things I've made and is definitely my favorite thing from the collection."

He also said that "the team was great to work with" and compared the experience to the movie "Big," in which a young boy wakes up as an adult man, played by Tom Hanks. He added that Williams "has always left a door open for me, but I still can't believe this one." On Instagram, Tyler, the Creator expressed a desire for more collaborations with Williams, writing, "I love you, you keep throwing me the keys."
The collection will launch on March 21.
