Recently, the auction platform JOOPITER has been heating up with its *NIGO Knows* and *Pharrell Knows Too* auction events, paying tribute to the creative journeys shared by the style titans NIGO and Pharrell Williams.
Diving deep into a partnership spanning over two decades, this auction not only dissected the collaborative bond between the two icons but also showcased their personal treasures and some ultra-rare pieces. Several lots made their debut at the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 menswear show, unveiling their latest joint collection. Pharrell shared, "NIGO is a collector like no other. I was totally blown away when I first saw his collection in Tokyo a few years back—it was like stepping into a time capsule. Having known each other for 25 years, collaborating with him is a tremendous honor for me." NIGO added, "Pharrell and I are not just creators; we're consumers too. This auction is, in a way, a conversation between consumers. We've had countless collaborations and the journey together is far from over."
**NIGO Knows: A Pop Culture Treasure Trove** NIGO, the icon and trailblazer who continues to shake up the fashion and music industry, is set to dazzle us once more, but this time in the auction world with an epic showcase that screams pop culture sophistication. With items exhibiting NIGO's die-hard passion for cool cultural artifacts, we're talking about an auction that feels more like a backstage pass to the coolest gig in town. Among the curated treasure chest are vintage gems that include original posters of The Beatles, a slamming Ludwig Drum Co. kit, and silk-screen prints of Andy Warhol's legendary *Campbell's Soup*. But wait, there’s more! Dive into some serious nostalgia with signed memorabilia by none other than the Beastie Boys. The auction will also introduce a wave of exclusivity with "mystery boxes" crafted by luminary artists like Takashi Murakami, Futura 2000, and Daniel Arsham. These boxes are a collector's dream, offering buyers the thrill of owning never-before-seen artworks, the exact contents wrapped in secrecy until the grand unveiling. But let's not overlook the high-end fashion in the fray. The auction features a lineup of luxury finesse with pieces from Hermès, Goyard, and the rare collab pieces from Chanel x Pharrell Williams and Louis Vuitton. Bringing more artistic prowess into the mix, you'll also find works from Futura 2000, SHAG, and a sublime collaboration between Tiffany & Co. and Daniel Arsham. For those who vibe with the interplay of art, music, and high fashion, NIGO's lineup is a cultural feast not to be missed. Whether you're a rocker, a rapper, or a runway rebel, mark your calendars. This is where pop culture history meets contemporary art finesse in a showcase that’s nothing short of iconic.
