Pharrell Talks a Decade of BBC with Hypebeast

June 18th, 2013

Pharrell Williams sits down with Hypebeast to talk about his experience with Billionaire Boys Club in the last 10 years.

Call it coincidence, but it’s interesting that in the same year of both a lunar and solar eclipse — symbols of planetary harmony — a fashion-forward endeavor of iconic producer Pharrell Williams would also be unveiled to the world. Said project turned out to be Billionaire Boys Club (BBC), which since its debut has yielded unprecedented success, a legion of loyal followers, and a career’s worth of influence. More so a confluence of varying interests than a streetwear label, BBC is presently celebrating its first decade. To commemorate the event, we were invited to speak with Pharrell in New York City about his experiences with the iconic label. The above interview finds Pharrell graciously detailing what has influenced him over the years, giving a shout out to Rei Kawakubo and Ralph Lauren alike, his relationship with Burton, and speaking on the future of an already progressive brand. Enjoy the video above.

The Hundreds Ad

Just spotted The Hundreds in the latest edition of Sneaker Freaker Magazine.

Just do you. Our shoes don’t have swooshes or stripes. They aren’t backed by millions of dollars in research and development, wear-tested by olympic athletes in state-of-the-art facilities. Famous pros don’t skate in them. Our shoes don’t fetch 500% markups on Ebay. Kids don’t commit violent acts over them. Kanye West does not endorse our shoes. But who cares?
