法瑞尔集艺术、设计和嘻哈于一身,其创作成果无人能及。通过融合不同的学科——音乐、时尚和当代艺术——法瑞尔重新定义了当代艺术家的角色,为其他音乐家和文化人物开辟了道路。卡尔·拉格菲尔德(Karl Lagerfeld)和村上春树(Takashi Murakami)等各种各样的天才让法瑞尔的作品融入当代视觉和物质文化。Happy这首歌在全球范围内的成功为他的电影配乐和奥斯卡提名电影《隐藏的人物》的制作加分不少。这本书介绍了JR、Alex Katz、Mr.和Daniel Arsham等艺术家的作品,并重点介绍了香奈儿、Moncler、Moynat和Adidas的新项目和设计。但核心是法瑞尔围绕他的亿万富翁男孩俱乐部(Ice Cream/Billionaire Boys Club)服装系列打造的视觉语言,该系列将街头服饰融入服装、配饰、限量版玩具和滑板图形的设计中。仅这一点就使这本书成为了一本必读的收藏品。
Following Rizzoli's best-selling Pharrell: Places and Spaces I've Been, this volume documents the continuing adventures in art and design of one of the most influential figures in contemporary music and popular culture.
Lavishly illustrated with 250 photographs and illustrations, this book features Pharrell Williams's prolific and ever-expanding body of work in a graphic language all his own.
Straddling art, design, and hip-hop, Pharrell's creative output is without peer or precedent. By playing off different disciplines--music, fashion, and contemporary art--Pharrell has redefined the role of the contemporary artist, blazing a trail for other musicians and cultural figures. Expanding on themes covered in Places and Spaces I've Been, this book gathers a new group of collaborators. Engaging Pharrell in conversation, talents as diverse as Karl Lagerfeld and Takashi Murakami position Pharrell's work within contemporary visual and material culture. The worldwide success of the song "Happy" to his soundtrack and production credit for the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures bookend a volume devoted to Pharrell's mastery of artistic collaboration. Featuring work with artists as diverse as JR, Alex Katz, Mr., and Daniel Arsham, the book highlights recent projects and designs for Chanel, Moncler, Moynat, and Adidas. But at the heart is the visual language that Pharrell has built around his Ice Cream/Billionaire Boys Club clothing line, which integrates streetwear into the design of apparel, accessories, limited-edition toys, and skate graphics. This alone makes the book a must-have collectible.
