Superstar producer Pharrell Williams has beaten out the likes of David Beckham, Bencicio Del Toro and Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs to top Complex magazine’s Style 25 list.

The “Frontin’” singer, whose love of trucker caps inspired such stars as Ashton Kutcher to make the headgear a huge trend, has long been noted for his individual sense of style and is now set to launch Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, the collections of casual menswear and men’s and women’s footwear he’s producing in conjunction with Reebok.

And, just like his music, he hopes it appeals to a wide cross section of the community, without sticking to the old formula.

He says, “I want to preserve individuality. I expect to appeal to all different kinds of people. There’s no definitive buyer. It’s not a traditional consumer, a Ralph Lauren consumer or a couture consumer.”

“It’s not an American, it’s not a European. It’s basically a collection of people who want to celebrate individuality.”

The magazine’s top 10 is as follows:

1. Pharrell Williams
2. Ashton Kutcher
3. Dave Chappelle
4. Yohji Yamamoto
5. Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs
6. Spike Jonze
7. LeBron James
8. The Roots
9. Marc Ecko
10. Ralph Lauren

Billionaire Boys Club’s official website is located online at Bilionaire-boys-club.com. The clothing line is scheduled to be released sometime between now and the end of the fall season.

The Ice Cream shoe collection, distributed through Reebok, is expected to be released sometime in the month of September. It’s part of a long term licensing deal between Pharrel and Reebok, the first shoe brand to ever give a HipHop artist their own shoe.
