The new collection is set to drop next month.

Ever since Pharrell took over as head of menswear at Louis Vuitton, the brand has had a revitalized connection to music. Last year, he had his debut show and it was absolutely overflowing with musical stars in attendance. He even recruited Pusha T and No Malice to reunite as Clipse and perform a brand new song during the show. He followed it up earlier this year with a show where he debuted an unreleased Miley Cyrus collab. That show even had Pusha T making his runway debut walking as a model.

One person who was present at both shows is Tyler, The Creator. The "EARFQUAKE" rapper is no stranger to fashion having run his own Golf Wang brand for years. But now he's teaming up with Louis Vuitton under Pharrell's watch for a new crossover. While the actual pieces aren't available until next month, Tyler shared some early looks at the clothes and an explanation of the the design philosophy behind them to Instagram. Check out the post he made below.
