Tyler, the Creator has long looked up to Pharrell and what he’s been able to accomplish in music as well as the fashion world. Tyler himself has been designing clothes for well over a decade through his Golf Wang brand, and Skateboard P is giving him the opportunity of a lifetime.

Pharrell, who serves as the men’s creative director at Louis Vuitton, tapped his “Cash In, Cash Out” collaborator to design a capsule collection for the iconic French fashion house.

“Tyler has been my close friend and collaborator for years and we’ve always connected on music and design,” Pharrell told GQ. “This collaboration is unique to Louis Vuitton because it’s a natural extension of our LVERS philosophy, building on our network of incredible artists and creatives. There are so many elements specific to Tyler built into these pieces and it’s been inspiring to see him hone in on his craft and collaborate with him for this Spring collection.”

GQ got a first look at the colorful garments serving as the brainchild of Tyler, the Creator. The pieces will be available on March 21 as part of the LV Spring 2024 collection.

Dubbed the “Craggy Monogram,” the posh capsule includes an array of items that Tyler himself would sport, whether that be a baby blue V-neck knitted vest, pastel shoes or Bermuda shorts.

“My main focus was making things I would wear all the time,” he told GQ. “I dress the same in a meeting as I do a performance or grocery store trip, so hand drawing the monogram felt like the perfect balance to me.”

Tyler has a keen eye for accessories, and he didn’t hold back with his LV debut. There’s a collectible cereal bowl, as well as a leather golf bag with a Damier towel and club head covers for those hitting the links.

The Grammy-winning rapper, who has an affinity for trunks and boasts one of the rarest luggage collections of any celebrity, leaned into that by designing an entire set of trunks, including the biggest the fashion house has with the Courrier Lozine 110, which will retail for a staggering €68,000, which is approximately $73,560. There’s even one piece that comes equipped with a chess set for those who are ready to sit down for a game at any time or any place.

“The chessboard is one of the greatest things I’ve made and is definitely my favorite thing from the collection,” Tyler added to GQ. “The team was great to work with — it kinda felt like Big with Tom Hanks. P has always left a door open for me, but I still can’t believe this one.”

Where to Get Tickets

Advance presale tickets to the This Is Me…Now: The Tour became available Tuesday at 9 a.m. local time. Presale tickets are available via the On the JLo Fan Club, Verizon Up and Citi card.  

Trending on Billboard

VIP packages include the Ultimate JLo Meet and Greet Package, the Gold JLo Lounge Package, the Can’t Get Enough VIP Pit Package and the Silver J.Lo Merch package.

How to Get Tickets at StubHub

Looking for cheap tickets? Resale tickets for the tour are currently available at SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and StubHub, averaging around $60-$100 for the cheapest tickets.

If you want to be in the building for opening night, you’ll have to act fast. Tickets for the Orlando show are selling fast at StubHub (and Vivid Seats).

Prices start at $42 to $370 for the most affordable seats. However, most of the good seats are priced between $255-$400.

Want to get even closer to the stage? It’ll cost around $450 for the more affordably priced tickets. Some of the more expensive tickets that we’ve seen online are priced from around $700 to over $1,000 (some tickets are going for as much as $1,500 each).

If you’re looking to save money on concert tickets, it’s usually better to buy tickets early — unless you enjoy the thrill of waiting until the last minute. As demand increases, ticket prices for cities like Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles and Miami could end up being more expensive than smaller cities such as Rosemont, Ill., and Edinburg, Texas.

Right now, most of the tickets are around the same price, regardless of the city, but prices are subject to change as the tour gets closer.

How to Get Tickets at SeatGeek

SeatGeek usually offers cheaper tickets than most of the other resale sites, but not by very much. Although tickets start as low as $39, many of the good seats are priced from $250-$350, while the more expensive tickets are priced from around $400 to $1000+.

How to Get Tickets at Vivid Seats

At Vivid Seats, tickets start as low as $40 to $77 for the cheapest seats, but the brunt of tickets cost around $255-$400. If you’re waiting for a good deal, now’s your chance to secure tickets at a decent price.

You don’t have to leave home to enjoy a perfectly relaxing spa day, just get a portable sauna.

Home saunas come in handy when you need to relax after a long day or an intense workout session. If the idea of buying a home sauna feels intimidating, it’s not as scary as you might think. In fact, you don’t need a ton of space to fit one comfortably in your home and there are several options on sale for Presidents’ Day.

See below for more information on the benefits of home saunas and brands that we recommend.

Feel the Heat: Here’s What Makes Home Saunas Worth It

Investing in a sauna means that you’re putting health and wellness first, and that’s always a good thing. Aside from stress relief and pain relief, saunas offer a range of health benefits. According to the National Institute of Health, using a sauna has anti-aging benefits and can help with weight loss, skin rejuvenation, improve sleep habits and increase blood circulation.

And you can use them indoor or outdoors, including in the backyard, basement, home gym or a large bathroom. Not all saunas are created equal though, so while you might find saunas for under $500 such as this portable steam sauna from Amazon, they won’t be as sturdy and don’t look as good as wooden saunas from retailers such as Sun Home Saunas, Home Depot and other options on our list.
