Pharrell Premieres New Tracks with YoungBoy, Quavo and Lil Baby at Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2027 Show
At Louis Vuitton's Spring-Summer 2027 menswear show in Paris, Pharrell premiered collaborations with YoungBoy, Quavo, and Lil Baby backed by live orchestra.
Pharrell Williams used his latest Louis Vuitton menswear show in Paris as more than a runway: it was a listening room. On June 24, the brand’s Men’s Creative Director debuted several collaborative tracks recorded at the Louis Vuitton Studio, including new work with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Quavo, and Lil Baby, folding music into a Spring-Summer 2027 presentation at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris.
The sequence of songs read like a who’s who of contemporary rap layered over a fashion moment. The evening opened with Quavo’s synth-heavy cut “Haavin,” produced and co-written by Sk8brd P, shifted into the violin-driven “Dead Fresh” featuring Lil Baby, and then cut to the NBA YoungBoy-assisted “Simulation.” The show closed on a more orchestral note with Angelique Kidjo’s anthemic “Bando,” a track credited to Kidjo that featured Pharrell and Quavo and was given sweeping orchestration by Thomas Roussel.
The show opened up with Quavo’s synth-heavy track “Haavin,” which was produced and co-written by Sk8brd P. The song was followed by the moody, violin-driven tune “Dead Fresh” featuring Lil Baby, and continued with the NBA YoungBoy-assisted heater “Simulation.” The show concluded with Angelique Kidjo’s anthemic song “Bando” featuring Pharrell and Quavo with orchestration by Thomas Roussel.
Those arrangements were realized live: Roussel conducted L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf onstage while the gospel ensemble Voices of Fire supplied powerful choral support, giving the presentation a cinematic sweep that contrasted with the street-rooted collaborators dropping bars and hooks.
It was a star-studded night beyond the speakers. Quavo and Future were among the attendees, and Pharrell’s wife Helen Lasichanh attended with their three youngest children, the triplets born in January 2017.
Pharrell has doubled as a conduit between fashion and fresh music for a while now. In January, he introduced unreleased songs with A$AP Rocky, Pusha T, John Legend, Quavo, and Jackson Wang during Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2026 menswear show. This latest Paris presentation continues that pattern, using the runway to test and showcase music that often arrives first in a couture context.
