Key people at Pharrell Williams.
The premise of your query is incorrect: Pharrell Williams is not a company, but rather a person—an American musician, record producer, and fashion designer[1].
However, Pharrell has founded and operates several business entities and brands:
I Am Other is his primary multi-disciplinary media company, founded in 2012 as a sole proprietorship that functions as both a record label and creative umbrella for his various ventures[1].
Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) and its sister brand Ice Cream are streetwear labels he co-founded with Japanese fashion designer Nigo in 2005 (some sources cite 2003 for BBC's founding)[1][3]. These brands fuse luxury and street fashion with Japanese streetwear influences and are rooted in music, pop culture, and the skater scene[3].
Humanrace is his unisex fashion line launched in collaboration with Adidas, which also includes a skincare line he introduced in 2020[2][3].
Additionally, Pharrell serves as Men's Creative Director at Louis Vuitton since 2023[1][2], succeeding Virgil Abloh. He co-founded Bionic Yarn in 2010, a company focused on sustainable fibers derived from recycled plastic bottles[4].
If you're interested in learning about one of Pharrell's specific business ventures or companies, I'd be happy to provide more detailed information.
