Tyler, the Creator Provides A Humorous Glimpse Behind the Scenes
The journey to this momentous occasion was humorously encapsulated in a two-minute trailer released by Tyler. It humorously portrays the Grammy-winning artist’s hands-on approach to his work, from maneuvering an oversized camera to capture the essence of his designs, to the realization of working solo in the studio—a candid reflection of the dedication behind the scenes.
Tyler, the Creator’s “Craggy Monogram” Collection
Dubbed the “Craggy Monogram,” the collection is a vibrant embodiment of Tyler’s unique aesthetic. Known for his eclectic style, Tyler infused the capsule with items that resonate with his personal wardrobe. Pieces like baby blue V-neck knitted vests, pastel shoes, and Bermuda shorts. However, the collection doesn’t stop at apparel. It ventures into accessories and lifestyle items, featuring a $200 pocket square, a collectible cereal bowl, and even a leather golf bag complete with a Damier towel and club head covers. For the intellectually inclined, a chess set accompanies one of the pieces, ready for a spontaneous game.
Mentorship and Collaboration
Tyler’s venture into the world of high fashion with Louis Vuitton isn’t merely a personal achievement but a shared vision with Pharrell Williams, a pivotal figure in Tyler’s creative journey. “P has always left a door open for me, but I still can’t believe this one,” Tyler remarked, reflecting on the opportunity presented to him.
