painful to watch how Pharrell just praises and gives compliments and doesn't start a conversation on eye level. Marc tries to intervene this stream of blind praise several times, but Pharrell keeps coming back to that. Real conversation happens when both parties put themselves on the same height.
Man this is an interesting take. i think I get it for sure & agree to an extent. Pharrell spent so much time giving Marc his praise he never allowed the conversation to develop so that we can get the highest level of conversation and definitely direction. Pharrell is so humble its really one of his superpowers but I think there's a certain level of imposter syndrome being exhibited since becoming CD of LV, and all Marc was trying to say was "Hey you worked your way and positioned yourself, that's why I chose to collaborate with you and that's why since then you've continued to elevate."
@@FlyYoungIntellectualMedia let me elaborate on this. being humble is indeed a superpower, but it loses it's splendor when it's being repetitive, and to a certain, very fine degree, it even disrespects the value of what the other person is trying to state and make you realise.
Marc is a clean professional in public communication but you could almost consider moments where he is stopping Pharrell to say 'wait a minute, this didn't just all happen by coincidence...' as a loss of patience. On a level that Marc would be trying to communicate (you could check other interviews of his) this is a flat conversation.
@@blackstationthree agreed very good insight and well articulated thank you
🎯🎯🎯🎯this was exhausting seems a bit disingenuous
Pharrell always does that. Not just this interview but theres not a decent intellectual interview or writings from him. He def has creative abilities though.
Legendary conversation! These two shifted culture forever and bridged a gap that had a major impact. P along with Nigo, Ye, Murakami etc all paved the way for Virgil to take the torch and thrive the way he did. To see it all come back around full circle with the two that initially sparked the shift is dope to see. Hate it or love it, history is history. Shoutout to Marc for opening the doors like he did.
yep!
Yeeep! 🤎🫶🏽✨✨✨
Mr stylee” / Mr. Observer ! Loving the humility
@@nicolemartin1782 Pharrell is puuuure(!) Love and respect. 🤎✨
You are obviously American
Amazing, P did the same thing with Tyler that Marc did for him!
That’s how it’s supposed to go .
Paying it forward ❤
So amazing that Man who Goes by Sk8bord P❤️
49 min of consistent glazing
This is one of the most wholesome conversations I’ve seen where two great creatives pay homage to each other in such a very gracious way. Humility & self deprecation by the finest. I’ll be honest, this video made any doubts I or I’m sure others who were not sure “why Pharrell,” disappear. Incredible full circles reminding me at least, it’s about relationships and asking for what we want to those who have openness …
Two GOATS. I hope Pharrell gives Marc a collab or helps him out on his next LV collection 🔥🐐
Two gay goats, trust!
weird ass comment@@bodelaire6395
Huh??!!? P is gay?! Do tell, s.v.p@@bodelaire6395
Marc Jacobs is the reason I got into fashion designing
😊❤
If pharell allowed Marc to come back and do a capsule would be amazing!
May I ask what is a capsule? Thanks
@@Lee-vb4vh a capsule collection is a mini collection, ranging from 7-10 pieces in a line up. often it's a one off.
@@user-dc7ie6up4b great thank you for interesting info! Sounds like a trendy pop up line. All the best!
2:12 Pharrell is one of the most humble human beings to grace this earth, the fact he still pinches himself everyday to remind where he is regardless of his insane career is so beautiful
Don’t forget he was on Epsteins list 🤮
So for you if someone says I’m humble he is humble, easy like that
@@kay6692 The whole interview he expresses gratitude, seems to come from genuine place
The asskissing on behalf of Pharrell is cosmic
Only five minutes in and I regret to not have gathered a notepad for insightful quotes from Marc. Anticipating filling a page from both of my favorite visionaries/artists.
Just restart the video what are you blabbing about lol
This is a EPIC, I’m so grateful this was documented! THANK YOU 🙏 ❤
Inspired by every context about their conversations. NEXT LEVEL beyond happy to have the both of them as my role models
mannnn these two guys, legends for real. can’t believe i watch this conversation.
THANK YALL FOR EVERYTHING
Love the humbleness of this two wonderful human beings. Wishing you both many more success and blessings!!!
Marc with LV is what got me into fashion
As a fellow Aries, I felt seen and just so radically inspired by you both. From the beginning of your careers you both were visionaries each of its own and i'm happy to have been able to witness the success you deserved in the fashion industry and beyond, artistically. Thank you System Magazine for this amazing interview, can't wait to get my hands on the print version of it. Much love!
Pharrell and Marc are also Aries?
Yes both @@Lee-vb4vh
Heart warming conversation, excited for the future
I like how Marc is being genuine and organic about the collaboration and how things evolved into what it became eventually.
I was observing the watch, thanks for pointing it out❤
Amazing conversation leaned so much about Marc’s contribution to LV and the culture in general
So happy to witness this in my lifetime 💓
If Marc Jacob’s ever collabs again at LV, I hope collect some pieces. ❤
Wow this may be naive to say but I feel so grateful to be able to see this! My husband P making history. Two legends indeed.
love it so much thank you for posting this talk its so meaningful! Pharrell and MARC JACOBS?! my dream is to interview or doing a podcast with both of them. PHARRELL and Marc Jacobs. can you imagine? love love
crazy that we get an interview like this in video FOR FREE system is the goat
I was observing the watch, thanks for pointing it out
So great to hear the appreciation you have for each other (two visionaries) and for Marc to hear how much he has helped so many people :)
This was incredible. Thank you.
Whew, confirmations so so many confirmations! I pray I get the opportunity to speak with Pharrell one day
Great positive vibes between these two genius artists. I’d like to see another brilliant collection by Marc.
It is a great Video Bringing friends and family to create something beautiful for the graceful earth......
Watched All Fashion Icons from very beginning. I love seeing it come Full Circle with Marc Jacob's. And Pharrell has been there like a secret weapon. Nicely done. Thanks so much for sharing.
✌️💯
This is way too good of a video to be sitting under 100k views.
Thank you for giving Marc Jacobs his flowers, Pharrell!
Marc’s face when pharrell explained his necklace idea LOL
I missed it, may I ask what kind of necklace?
@@Lee-vb4vhpearl necklace
@@marcfischetti5490 okay thanks for info. I'll have to watch again. Cheers
Lovely interview.
This will go down in history books and be reposted endlessly
No one will give af he’s a horrible designer
This made my day. Can’t thank these legends enough 🙏
I remember going to fashion school and discussing Marc Jacobs in class I fell in love with his vision when he was the director of LV !! I still love him he’s just dope. I love the chemistry between these 2!! It’s magical
May I ask what you love about Marc's style? Thanks
@@Lee-vb4vh well if we’re talking about his collections today I love the monogram pieces the letters remind me graffiti letters which I love !
I also love his bag’s there affordable without breaking your pocket. I also think when he was the Director of LV those were the best pieces in my opinion.
@@allisondickerson4753 Thank you Allison for interesting info. I'm unfamiliar with Marc Jacob's style so learning about his brand and his role at LV. Graffiti on bags and clothing sounds great. Continued blessings!
I is important to me. A recognition of myself body and mind. I’m greatfull to see one person in this video who has influenced me in an amazing direction and get me to pay closer attention.
That virginia for lovers, Louie jacket is dope bro, great job changing the game...VA STAND UP WE ALWAYS PUSHING THE CULTURE FORWARD!
@pharrell I need one of them!
got an ID on the shades?
What a fantastic conversation.
Very sweet interview.
this is beautiful
Wow wow otra gran conversación con Marc Jacobs me enamore de el estos días..... gracias 🫂
Amazing candid conversation. So much history uncovered and touching about Nigo, Virgil and Ye’s influence too
This was super epic. Really great seeing yo icons talk it out.
very nice conversation!
This is how brotherhood should be ❤❤❤❤
It's the first time to watch Marc..I didn't know that he's softness of move,voice..i hope to know more about him❤
if Marc was British he would be a Dame, he's fashion Royalty
The majority of this is Pharrell talking and praising Marc, and Marc seems a little uncomfortable/bored throughout the conversation. No hate for either of them love both but I want a real convo lol.
marc is so uncomfortable
A lot of Pharrell convos go this way. He super praises people in humility. Not gonna say it’s fake, but I’m glad Marc was calling him out on it, because it just dries up the convo. You’re great, NO IM GREAT BECAUSE OF YOU
@@BabelofaTaurus seems like he's using it to fill space because he can't go deeper in convo, very off-putting.
You know you are FUCKING RICH when you have $2,000,000 watch and don't even know that the "tourbillon" is in fact a skeletonised but regular balance wheel escapement. Every mechanical watch has a balance wheel.
Good ideas + gratitude + showing love = ________
Love this 🫶
Love both 🎉
The reference for the glasses
Pharrell is super humble and adorable ❤
Hi-Power! The power of collaboration...
I have listened to Pharrell talking and find him to be articulate and a clever young man. He is actually the opposite to the previous comment. He encourages the people around him, he is honest and hard working. Who isn't nervous meeting somebody who you look up to. How do you think you would cope with all of Pharrell's success, fame and record greats.
I remember louis vuitton s/s 03 like yesterday, saw those 33 colors on that monogram and never looked back!
I remember when MJ was at LV and Murakami bags were all the rage. The whimsical nature of MJ's creative direction and Murakami's illustration genius really opened up the brand and set the stage for LV's subsequent collabs.
Did LV collab before Marc ?
Legend to legend❤
Marc so humble hes like look its was organic our vibes matched so we made dope stuff.
Legendary legends❤❤🏆🏆
Wow this was great. &+ Marc deserves all the fucking flowers!!
Amazing, P
Marc still doing fashion metaphors cool❤❤🎉🎉
OMG, I love you both immensely, I have the most gorgeous vintage square toe MJ ankle boots, I will never ever not love them.😍
Full circle moment !¡!
I’m glad they weren’t afraid to mention Ye and his impact 💯
Que ❤ tan apreciativo..de HAPPY ....😅 Pharrell.
Pharrell is the sort of narcissus who almost convinces you that he’s grounded and down to earth. But if you listen to what he’s saying he’s not actually interested in the other person’s POV beyond confirming his own story. Marc seems bored and uninspired by the half way point. What a waste of two geniuses. Don’t send a celebrity to do a journalists job.
Its hard to be a fan boy and narcistic artsy person at the same time... Its like "you're good and i'm better" 😁
your a typical caucasian and simply can’t accept the fact a black man can appreciate others more than himself if the roles were reversed you would never think such…
Best POV ever well done 👍🏿
This is perfectly stated!! I could not agree more🎯🎯
You read and see right through ppl.. ? Should we act accordingly and walk away or stay and be about our business?
Bravo 🎉
Love
One of the greatest powers in the world is the power to say "Yes".
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA SO EXCITED
🎉 Many accolades from the DMV! Contonue shine!
Fashion is a true Mentor and inspiration .
29 mins of just bragging about marc jacob giving him a chance you can even see it in Marc J face "cmon dude get over it" and MJ is saying it no you had it
this is surreal af
I want to see the tour of his old and new office.
I love the Birkin on the ground, legendary!
May I ask what makes it special? Thanks
Oh my favorite designer 👩🎨The one and only Mark Jacobs love his stuff specially his perfume and handbags 👜 😍😍
DOPE 🔥
The fashion world is becoming more and more friendly...Pharrell Williams is very humble. He is a little prince who respects the king..
Pharrell is beautiful! glowing, rich and healthy looking
I had to focus on myself. 2-3 years creating something not only just for the sake of it but with a mission and solid ideas that can be normalized. protecting yourself is the most important for helping others. the design world is ruthless but if you truly belive in your work, nothing is gonna stop you.
I’m waiting for these Sunglasses 🕶️ dropping this,
Summer ☀️ & Winter ❄️ of 2024
Ballin
Once Pharrel gets over being Annie, it would be nice to hear what the thinks about Art
In response to 2:15, It had happened before... rappers started ghost designing. French people had to open that door and let music artists in so that they could participate in design too. THat had to happen before rap artists could be creative directors.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 -OY3AH!
I watched the Marc Jacobs documentary while in college.
What sunglasses is pharrell wearing??
Oh boy. It’s time to bring in help.
Pharrell TALKS TOO MUCH : I, ME, etc let Marc express himself
“I would be nude without any of this, so I need creativity…it’s not essential to live but we wouldn’t want to live without it. I wouldn’t want to live without it…so I know that I need to speak to you about work that’s been created, about the dreams of future work to come, about the new movies there are to see, about the new songs there are to hear, about the new dance craze, about the new trends, about the new art work that’s going to be made…about all of that stuff, without that I just really have no desire to go on” - Marc Jacobs
May I ask when he said this? Thanks
