‘I don’t really go out on the town,” said Pharrell Williams when asked about the nightlife scene in Miami, his current hometown. The prince of producer-land popped into Toronto last weekend to give props to the pop-up shop inspired by his Billionaire Boys Club fashion line at Holt Renfrew’s Yorkdale location. At an intimate gathering held at Soho House in Toronto, the quietly charming Mr. Williams mingled with the eager group of media and VIP guests who were all – smartphones in hand – vying to get the perfect photo with Pharrell.
