Los Angeles: Singer Pharrell Williams will be honoured at the CFDA Fashion Awards, which will be held on June 1.

He will receive the CFDA Fashion Icon Award, which was presented to R&B star Rihanna, last year. "If cool was a person, it would be Pharrell, not just for his looks and sense of style, but for his kindness and openness. I cannot imagine anyone not seduced by him," CFDA President Diane von Furstenburg said of Williams in a statement.
