Pharrell collaborates with Visvim for outdoor jacket & vest collection

Pharrell x Visvim.
Some how Pharrell finds the time to do all of these collaborations and still make music. The latest here is with Japanese brand Visvim for an outerwear collection called Moncler V designed by Pharrell. The collection features an assortment of all-black jackets, and includes a “pacifist” version of the bulletproof jacket (pictured) and each jacket in the collection is built with textiles from Bionic Yarn, the textile company that Pharrell is part owner of.

Pharrell took an equity stake as part owner of Bionic Yarn back in Q4 of 2008 and has since utilized his own textile company to make many of the collections in his various fashion business ventures including a line of BBC/Ice Cream shirts. Now that’s a business man there as he makes money both from the selling of the materials and the finished goods.
