Pharrell graced the cover of W magazine’s annual art issue. Inside the mag Pharrell speaks on about his now-trademark Vivienne Westwood hat, his changing role in music and creating the mega hits, “Happy” and “Blurred Lines.” Pharrell also reveals the name of his upcoming collection with Adidas (copyrights be damned). Naturally, there’s a whole philosophical explanation behind it.

“I have a new clothing collaboration with Adidas,” he continued. “And it’s called Adidas = Pharrell Williams. I know I can’t trademark the equal sign, and that’s fine with me because, you know what? It’s just… equal. The ‘Happy’ video is about equality; my music is about equality, and being associated with the idea of equal got me where I am now.”

So apparently Kanye West is taking back his no press rule. First New York Times interview and now this interview with W Magazine. ‘Ye talks being rich, design, Yeezus, and his Kim Kardashian.

On being rich: “I’m not a billionaire; I’m just a millionaire. But I’m the youngest guy I know who has this much interest in design and the ability to actually get some of it. So that makes me an important cog in the wheel.”

On design: “Furniture is my superobsession now. Furniture and pornography, still. The porn thing has never left since I was in high school.”

On his new album, Yeezus: “This music is made to spark the visionaries to stand up for themselves and help the world. Because the world is fucked.”
