Paris Men's Fashion Week kicked off on Tuesday with shows by big hitters Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton, with American singer-turned-designer Pharrell Williams teasing his latest creation — "coffee bean brown" denims.

The man who got the world dancing to his catchy hit Happy predicted the new Louis Vuitton jeans he will unveil at his Paris show will become a "future staple" in fashionable wardrobes.

Williams posted a rear-end photo of the roomy medium-brown jeans on Instagram, saying they are "woven — not dyed" and are finished with an untreated leather belt loop echoing Vuitton's monogram.

He also posted pictures of a matching denim jacket, finished with brassy buttons, over a white shirt and brown and beige striped T-shirt.

The singer and producer usually draws a galaxy of music, film and sports stars to his Paris shows, the locations often as glamorous as his guest list.

This time Williams is putting his Vuitton bags down in front of the Pompidou Centre modern art museum just before the architectural icon closes for a major overhaul.
