…

His talents extend beyond the recording room

as he is also regarded by some as a bit of a fashion statement maker –

gracing the covers/pages of magazines as testament.

Spotlighted at this year’s Grammy Awards event

for his music industry achievemnts

Although a unique style – setter in his own right,

the origins of Pharrell’s Grammy creative head-dress, can be traced to

the 1982 a/w Vivienne Westwood collection ‘Buffalo Girl’

(in collaboration with Macolm McLaren)

…

This mass outpouring of commentaries on Pharrell’s Buffalo hat seems

 cultural commentary on the bond between

the music and fashion industries: as dwelling reflection of one in the other.

…

 

Over thirty years has passed since

the Buffalo hat was a fashion runway sensation –

and 2014 witness it centre stage at the music industry’s gala night.

…

Ah … the ever cyclical quality of fashion:

what’s out, is really what’s in (again).

Pharrell, cheers for the reminder .
