Pharrell x Visvim.

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.
