The job has been vacant since Abloh?s unexpected death at age 41 in November 2021. Abloh, who took on the role in 2018, did not reveal publicly that he had been privately living with cancer during much of his tenure with Louis Vuitton.

In a statement, Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton?s chairman and CEO, said that he was ?glad to welcome Pharrell back home.? Williams previously worked with Louis Vuitton in 2008, collaborating on lines of sunglasses and jewelry.
