Pharrell's New Book 'Pharrell-isms' Aims to Inspire

Pharrell's New Book 'Pharrell-isms' Aims to Inspire

Published Thu, April 13, 2023 at 10:30 AM EDT

Pharrell is ready to share his insights and advice with the release of his upcoming book, Pharrell-isms.

The book will feature some of his famous insights and musings. He'll also expound his thoughts about the human body as a "canvas" for expression, while also giving readers a glimpse into his mantras and sayings, per Hypebeast.

Pharrell, recently named creative director for Louis Vuitton, will also deliver a chapter dedicated to fashion. He explained how although he considered himself to be a “nerdy little Black kid on a skateboard,” he soon realized that pushing away boundaries and embracing creative freedom was liberating. "... Although there’s mostly the perception that it’s for women, I just started to see, OK, as a man I can wear some of this. So I would wear sunglasses here, and a jacket there," he writes.

The book will be published by Princeton University Press, which is the same publisher that released Abloh-isms which featured quotes from the late Virgil Abloh. Pharrell-isms is out on May 2.
