PETA France has even called for French officials to revoke Williams' Legion of Honour award due to his use of exotic animal skins. Who Is Pharrell Williams? At Louis Vuitton, Williams oversees menswear collections for the LVMH-owned brand, which generated €86.2 billion in revenue in 2024. PETA has lobbied Louis Vuitton to drop fur since 2011 and wild-animal skins since 2015. Williams continues to wear fur coats publicly and has showcased collections using mink fur, crocodile skin and other exotic materials.
