In the one-minute and forty-one-second video, Pharrell Williams also talked about his new Louis Vuitton Men's Spring Summer 2025 Collection and said:
"I will never ever dare to think we could be a reason for people to come together. But to present that notion and to present possibility in a poetic way is the only thing that we can do like only people can decide that they want to come together. I mean there's so much divisiveness out there in the world."
Williams added:
"I'm not, I mean. Listen, that wasn't a show about peace. That was a show about unity and the oneness of what one could look like when you just invite everybody in as a whole. That's all that work is like, and by the way again. We're not the most poetic. We are appreciative of this opportunity, and the platform is Louis Vuitton."
