PHARELIEN: Powhatan Space Car Dealership — When the Future Remembers Its Origins
Some ideas are about fashion, some ideas are about storytelling and PHARELIEN is about time. The PHARELIEN collection imagines a world where the future never forgot the past. It’s a creative universe where Indigenous knowledge, advanced thinking and cosmic imagination evolve side-by-side. In this world, innovation doesn’t erase ancestry—it grows directly from it.
At the center of this concept stands Pharrell Williams, not just as a musician or designer, but as a symbol of Virginia creativity, futurism and cultural memory. PHARELIEN asks a powerful question: What does the future look like when it remembers who was already here?
Virginia: Where Past and Future Meet
Pharrell Williams was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a region layered with deep Indigenous history. Long before the cities, highways and modern architecture, this land was home to the Powhatan Confederacy, a network of Algonquian-speaking tribes that governed the Chesapeake region.
The Powhatan peoples were not a scattered or primitive society, as old textbooks once suggested. They were a sophisticated political and economic network with complex systems of leadership, trade routes spanning vast distances, agricultural innovation, environmental knowledge and spiritual cosmology tied to the earth, moon, and stars
In many ways, the Powhatan worldview already reflected the type of systems thinking modern futurists talk about today. The PHARELIEN concept imagines that if that intellectual and cultural lineage had continued uninterrupted, the innovations of today—and tomorrow—might look very different. Instead of Silicon Valley alone shaping the future, the vision suggests something deeper: What if Indigenous imagination had remained at the center of technological evolution?
Pharrell Williams: A Modern Futurist
Few cultural figures embody forward-thinking creativity the way Pharrell Williams does.
Across music, fashion, design and culture, Pharrell has consistently pushed boundaries. Through groundbreaking music production, genre-blending creativity, fashion innovation, cultural experimentation and cross-disciplinary artistry Pharrell’s aesthetic has always leaned toward the future.
From his early days with The Neptunes and N.E.R.D., to his work in fashion and design, Pharrell often moves ahead of the cultural moment. His creative language includes space imagery, abstract symbolism, bright color systems, futuristic silhouettes and imaginative storytelling
The PHARELIEN concept captures that energy and reframes it through an Indigenous lens. Not as a costume. Not as nostalgia. But as continuity.
PHARELIEN: The Cosmic Identity
The word PHARELIEN merges two ideas: Pharrell + Alien but not alien in the traditional sense. In the PHARELIEN universe, the alien represents advanced consciousness—someone who thinks beyond the limitations of the present.
The imagery of the PHARELIEN character reflects this idea. The portrait includes a third eye, symbolizing expanded awareness and insight. A red feather headdress, representing leadership, spirit, and ancestral memory. Powhatan-inspired colors and patterns, grounding the vision in Virginia’s Indigenous heritage. Futuristic minimalism, suggesting the merging of ancient and advanced thinking
This visual identity tells a story the future does not erase the past and the future awakens it.
Powhatan Space Car Dealership: A Playful Vision of Tomorrow
One of the most creative elements in the PHARELIEN artwork is the fictional Powhatan Space Car Dealership. At first glance, it feels humorous and imaginative. But beneath the playful concept is a deeper message. The design imagines a future where Indigenous innovation leads space travel. Powhatan engineering builds interstellar vehicles and Virginia becomes a hub for cosmic transportation. The descendants of ancient nations guide technological evolution
The fictional dealership address—757 Fly High—connects directly to Virginia’s 757 area code, grounding the cosmic concept in real geography. This is storytelling through design. A reminder that the future can be imagined in ways that reconnect us to the land and cultures that shaped the beginning.
The PHARELIEN Shirt: Wearable Storytelling
The PHARELIEN shirts transform this narrative into a wearable piece of art. The design brings together several symbolic layers:
The Portrait
The central figure represents expanded consciousness and creative evolution. The third eye signals awareness beyond the ordinary, suggesting that true innovation comes from seeing the world differently.
The Feather Crown
Feathers carry powerful meaning across many Indigenous cultures. They represent honor, vision, leadership and a connection to spirit. Within RMBR Brand, the feather also symbolizes memory and identity—a reminder to remember who we are.
The Powhatan Space Car Logo
The back design reads like a futuristic advertisement: Powhatan Space Car Dealership — 757 Fly High. This playful futuristic branding blends sci-fi imagery with Indigenous naming, creating an alternate timeline where Powhatan imagination shapes the space age.
PHARELIEN Accessories: Extending the Universe
The PHARELIEN concept expands beyond shirts into a full creative ecosystem. Accessories in the collection may include: headwear, canvas prints artwork, round pin designs, tote bags, coasters, mugs, pillows, journals, blankets and clocks. Each item expands the universe of the story. Instead of simply selling clothing, the PHARELIEN concept invites people to step into a world of imagination where history and future merge.
The Role of Art in Remembering
Throughout history, art has always been one of the most powerful ways to reclaim narrative. When cultures are erased, rewritten or misunderstood, art becomes a form of memory. The PHARELIEN artwork functions in this way. It doesn’t claim to be historical documentation. Instead, it opens a conversation about identity, ancestry, imagination, the relationship between past and future. It invites viewers to reconsider how the future might evolve when it includes voices Ancient Futuristics that were once pushed aside.
Why PHARELIEN Matters
The world is moving rapidly into a new technological era. Artificial intelligence, space exploration and global digital culture are shaping the next phase of human history. But one important question remains, whose imagination will shape that future?
PHARELIEN suggests that the answers may already exist within ancient traditions and overlooked knowledge systems. Innovation doesn’t always come from forgetting the past. Often, it comes from remembering it.
The RMBR Philosophy
The PHARELIEN concept fits directly into the larger philosophy of RMBR Brand. RMBR stands for Remember. To remember cultural memory, ancestral intelligence, creative identity and the stories hidden beneath mainstream history. PHARELIEN embodies this philosophy. It imagines a world where remembering becomes the foundation for building tomorrow.
The Future Has Always Been Here
PHARELIEN is not about dressing like the future. It’s about realizing something deeper! The imagination that drives the future has always existed in human cultures—especially in the ones that learned to read the sky, understand the earth and think in generations rather than quarters.
Those systems of thought never disappeared. They simply waited to be remembered. And sometimes the people who carry that imagination show up in unexpected places. Music studios, fashion houses, art galleries and occasionally Powhatan Space Car Dealerships. 🤫
