Pharrell Williams to receive CFDA Fashion Icon Award

Singer Pharrell Williams will be honoured at the CFDA Fashion Awards, which will be held on June 1.

He will receive the CFDA Fashion Icon Award, which was presented to R&B star Rihanna, last year.

"If cool was a person, it would be Pharrell, not just for his looks and sense of style, but for his kindness and openness. I cannot imagine anyone not seduced by him," CFDA President Diane von Furstenburg said of Williams in a statement.

The ceremony will be held at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, said The Hollywood Reporter.

The 41-year-old musician has dabbled in fashion collaborations with Adidas, Moncler and Uniqlo, to name a few, and starred alongside Cara Delevingne in Chanel's short fashion film shot by Karl Lagerfeld.
