Pharrell Williams has launched a new buy-it-now extension called Joopiter Marketplace, an offshoot of his existing auction platform Joopiter. The marketplace offers collectibles from Williams's personal archive—including Vivienne Westwood hats, KAWS sneakers, Gucci and Levi's jackets, and items from his fashion labels ICECREAM and Billionaire Boys Club—alongside pieces from other cultural figures. Additional sellers include artist Tom Sachs, gallerist Easy Otabor, jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, and music executive Steven Victor, with proceeds from some sales benefiting nonprofits like the Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Rebuild Foundation, and the Virgil Abloh Foundation.
