You may remember a while back we wrote about Pharell’s new jewellery line for Louis Vuitton- called Blason, well finally the man himself talks in detail about the collection to IHT.
Inspired by secret societies, it appears that Pharell actually did more than just put his name on the lucrative project and after watching the video we wouldn’t be surprised if the collaboration becomes more permanent.
Rumours that Pharrell has been hard at work designing a line of jewellery for Louis Vuitton have been doing the rounds of a while now and finally they were proven to be true. The collection is called Blason and is actually a joint effort between Pharrell and Louis Vuitton’s creative consultant, Camille Miceli. It’s much anticipated unveiling occurred during couture week and pictures from the line have been floating around the internet since.
Our thoughts? Well to call the line pretentious would be an understatement. Most of what we’ve seen has been completely over the top and dare we say tacky?

This season is all about accessorising, in particular around the décolletage. Of course it’s not exactly a new phenomenon, necklaces have been around for a while, but they have not always demanded the attention that they do right now. With many designers opting for plunging necklines it’s nice to have such a choice out there to help fill the space.
Tales from the earth, a London based brand by Jo Culf & John DeCosta have designed a great range of jewellery and accessories; my favourite is the guardian angel locket retailing at around £40, it’s a simple sterling silver heart shaped locket on a fine chain, perfect if you prefer simplicity. For those of you who go for something a little more ‘visually arresting’, then this etched heart charm from Urban Outfitters, £16, may be more up your street.
