Fashion’s biggest designers, celebs and style players were in town this week for the CFDA Awards, a black-tie event held at Lincoln Center in New York City. This year’s Style Icon award went to Pharrell Williams (who’s been having a GREAT couple of years), introduced by his friend, Kanye West. As Style.com put it –
West made no interruptions, but he did deliver one of his trademark soliloquies when it came time to introduce this year’s Fashion Icon, Pharrell Williams, near the end of the ceremony. “What’s up, CFDA? You know how [President] Obama brought out the angrier version of himself? I’m sort of like the angrier version of Pharrell.” After rapping the opening lines of “New Slaves,” he took the crowd to task for “completely destroying” his first collection, which, he reminded the audience, sold out—$6,000 shoes included. When he eventually did wind around to the subject of Williams, West said, “there would be no me, no A$AP [Rocky], without Pharrell being the nicer version of Obama.” Williams, displaying his own trademark niceness, had kind words for everyone from his jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to “the genius” Rei Kawakubo.
lol @ Kanye and his analogies.
