Pharrell Williams: Humanrace

Musician and Louis Vuitton men's creative director Pharrell Williams launched Humanrace with significant hype in November 2020, introducing refillable, bright green packaging and all-gender, minimalist routines. However, the brand took an enormous corporate hit when its chief executive officer, Andrea Grilli, abruptly departed the company in January 2026. The brand has noticeably struggled to navigate the leadership vacuum, leaving its international product rollouts, retail expansions, and marketing structures heavily frozen throughout the year.
