The second time Jackson Wang and Pharrell have teamed up.
Summary
- Jackson Wang’s TEAM WANG design and Pharrell Williams’ Billionaire Boys Club have reunited for their second partnership
- The “Life is a Race” capsule metaphorically interprets life as a race, emphasizing preparation, control, and pushing forward while defining one’s own pace
In a highly anticipated cross-cultural fusion, Jackson Wang’s TEAM WANG design and Pharrell Williams’s iconic Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) have joined forces once again, unveiling their latest collaboration, the “Life is a Race” capsule collection. This marks the second joint project between the two influential entities, building on their 2024 “TEAM JOOPITER” venture.
The latest capsule is poised to draw inspiration from race culture, serving as a profound metaphor for the journey of life itself. The collaboration explores the duality of constant forward momentum in modern life with the deeper pursuit of one’s personal rhythm. As Jackson Wang states, “Life mirrors a race more than we realize. It’s about preparation, control, and the courage to push when it counts. No one else sets the pace but you. LIFE IS A RACE, BUT YOUR OWN RACE.” This philosophical underpinning is expected to be subtly woven into the design details, appealing to those who connect with both the competitive spirit and individual self-discovery.
The collection embodies the shared aesthetic of both brands: minimalist yet impactful designs, high-quality craftsmanship, and subtle nods to their respective founders’ artistic visions. Key pieces include a tonal varsity jacket, biker-style jackets, statement tees and everyday accessories. Pharrell Williams said, “Fashion, to me, has always been about individuality and freedom of expression. “It’s a reflection of who you are and who you’re becoming. This partnership between BBC and Jackson is more than just design. It’s about blending personalities, cultures, and perspectives.” Given TEAM WANG design’s signature gender-neutral approach and minimalist color palettes, combined with BBC’s vibrant streetwear energy, the collection will likely offer a unique blend of sophisticated leisurewear with distinct graphic elements.
