Pharrell's Creativity-Business Balance

"Creativity without business is victimization and business without creativity is just dumb"

Pharrell

Robert Oliver mentions this quote from Pharrell while discussing his fashion choices and business philosophy. He explains that Pharrell is one of his business idols because he successfully bridges the gap between artistry/culture and business. Oliver uses Pharrell's appointment as head of Louis Vuitton as a perfect example of merging creativity with meaningful enterprise, noting that Bernard Arnault (owner of Louis Vuitton) is among the top three richest people because of this successful combination.
