Louis Vuitton has named rapper Pusha T as its latest brand ambassador for bridging the worlds of fashion and music. The appointment is a natural fit, given Pusha T and Pharrell Williams‘ long history of collaboration dating back to the late 1990s when Pusha T debuted as part of the hip hop duo Clipse under Williams’ mentorship.
As Virginia Beach natives, Pusha T and Williams share a brotherly bond that has now extended to their work with the iconic French fashion house. Since taking the creative reins at Louis Vuitton menswear last year, Williams has surrounded himself with his inner circle of A-list friends and collaborators. Pusha T walked in his first two runway shows and has been a front row fixture alongside other stars like Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Tyler, the Creator.
Given his close ties to Pusha T and his brother Gene, known professionally as No Malice, it was no surprise to see the Clipse duo walk the runway for Williams’ first Louis Vuitton show last June. Their presence continued at the western-themed Fall 2024 collection and most recently, at the Spring 2025 show held at UNESCO headquarters.
Louis Vuitton praised Pusha T’s “razor-sharp lyrical storytelling” and influential presence in the music industry as key factors in his selection as brand ambassador. “Pusha T’s role as house ambassador underscores Louis Vuitton’s vision of bringing together diverse cultural influences to build powerful storytelling within its storied menswear universe,” the brand said in a statement.
