Luisaviaroma and Adidas have partnered up to announce a special charity for the World Cup 2014. Pharrell Williams joins top fashion designers, such as Roberto Cavalli and Rick Owens, to redesign the World Cup soccer balls.

The official match ball for is getting a new makeover. For a good cause, Pharrell has joined up with notable fashion houses, like Dolce & Gabbana, and Balmain, for a creative project. Organized by Brazil's Gol de Letra Foundation, they each have to customize the Adidas Brazuca ball.

In this charity project called Make Kids Happy, the redesigns are quite impressive and eye-catching. Rick Owen enctrusted jewels and rhinestones on the soccer ball. This is what really happens when football becomes art.

If you check out Missoni's work, it looks like the soccer ball was shattered in half. We have half an egg shell served on a plate. In great detail, there are circles within circles, with a wonderful array of color.

Roberto Cavalli paints a picture of man's face on the surface. This mysterious person has long black hair and a tattoo on the cheeks. What creeps me out about this artwork is that the man has sharp fangs, as if he is ready to bite someone.   

The Happy singer's doodling doesn't take away from the vividness of the rainbow colors. The panels have been changed, to give a more free flowing form.

The remodeled Brazuca balls will be auctioned off via eBay. The proceeds will help educate the Brazilian youth through writing, culture, and other artistic opportunities.
