Pop star Pharrell Williams is yet again involved in another collaboration. This time it is with Comme des Garcons. The legendary luxury brand and Pharrell have teamed up together to create a new unisex fragrance, G I R L.
“This is the first time we have created a fragrance for a musician and I can think of no greater talent and no greater gentleman to have done this with,” explained Adrian Joffe of Comme des Garçons. “Pharrell knew exactly what he wanted the perfume to smell like right from the beginning,” he added.
Pharrell’s latest album that bears the same name as the fragrance was released on March 3. G I R L is set to hit stores in September 2014.
Keira Knightley’s third go round
Keira Knightley has represented Chanel since 2007. In her third campaign for the perfume Coco Mademoiselle, Knightley embodies Coco Mademoiselle in a short film directed by Joe Wright.
“But again, nobody can quite capture her; so she is kind of there, but she is sort of playing with them … And then she gets on a speed boat! What more can you ask for,” says Knightley of her character in the short film. Mario Testino photographed the editorial for Coco Mademoiselle.
