stunt: PHARRELL x HERMES CROC HOODIE

Fashion can be expensive. High fashion can be super expensive. And custom high fashion can cripple a bank account.

If you're Pharrell Williams then money is no object, and you can blow your hard earned cash on a one-of-one (none before it, none to come) crocodile skin Hermés hoodie priced anywhere between $18,000-$75,000.

We just hope this Laffy Taffy purple jacket goes well with the paint PETA will undoubtedly splash him with when he makes his next public appearance in it.
