Over the last couple of years we've seen a number of dope collaborations between clothing brands and hip-hop artists. Most recently, "Happy" singer Pharrell Williams collaborated with Japanese retailer Uniqlo for a special collection, and while the crossover of fashion and hip-hop is hardly a new phenomenon, the partnerships between clothing brands and artists' continue to grow with time. For brands like Supreme and Alife some of their most symbolic garments have been created thanks to their collaborations with Three Six Mafia, Cam'ron, Prodigy and several other big name artists. To cast some light on the evolution between rappers and clothing brand collaborations, we took a look back at 10 of the most significant collabs to ever hit the market.

Pharrell has a lot of to be happy about. With a single that skyrocketed to number one and being showered with an abundance of love from his peers, Pharrell now has something else under his hat for the public to fall in love with. According to Madame Le Figaro, he will be curating a “Girl” exhibition at Galerie Perrotin in Paris.

Founder and owner, Emmanuel Perrotin, tells Madame Le Figaro, that Pharrell’s exhibition will be entitled “Girl,” which is also the name of the mega producer’s latest album. The exhibition, according to Perrotin, will open May 25th and will close June 25th at the gallery’s new space in the hotel d’Ecquevilly in Le Marais, Paris.

The exhibition is set to be a portrayal of free and strong women including the work of artists like Marina Abramovic, Valérie Belin, Sophie Calle, Tracey Emin, Guerrilla Girls, and Cindy Sherman.—Carl Lamarre
