The singer-songwriter found fame as one half of record production duo The Neptunes and lead singer of NERD, before launching a solo career that yielded hits such as 'Blurred Lines' and 'Happy'. But the father of four is just as well known for his outlandish fashion choices.

You have designed a capsule collection with Chanel. Tell us about it.
I have been working with the brand for, I don't know, four or five years now. And each time, they gave me the room to just express myself in some way, whether it was through a campaign or some sort of collaboration. Then they figured we would do it in a more material way, this time. And so I was able to go in and make suggestions about things that I think are essential for now, for men to be able to get in there too. To make things that have a unisex usage. I was able to really bring my ideas and my version of colour to it as well. I can't give away too much more than that but it's been really good.
