Let's face it, the age of the delebrity (that's designer celebrity) has no plans of ending anytime soon. So if one of them cares to offer something of great quality while cashing in on their fifteen minutes of fame then I say hey, might as well support them.
Producer/rapper/designer Pharrell Williams brought more hotness to the fashion industry by designing yet another accessory line for Louis Vuitton. Remember the sunglasses with Marc Jacobs he did for them in 2005? I personally saw plenty of fashionistos rocking a pair at fashion events then and recently Jay Z wore the latest style on the December '07 cover of XXL.
This time he dropped another bomb with a fine jewelry line called Blason for the fashion conglomerate.
Because he's no stranger to us or the fashion game, Louis Vuitton did it real big by launching in Paris with a regal themed party last week during Haute Couture Fashion Week. Peep the flicks, not a trucker cap, skateboard or gold rope chain in sight! I was so proud of him.
"I really got inspired by 'The Da Vinci Code' and the idea of freemasonry and secret societies in general," says Pharrell. "That was bascially the starting point, and the direct inspiration for the 'Blason' theme."
The line, which is primarily yellow and white gold with diamonds, comes in four themes inspired by several references including Art Deco, a piece with an ethnic vibe and items with LV initials for you logo whores.
Quietly, P is such a snob that taking on such a project was only befitting. I'm sure even the launch party at the mansion attended by French celebs and society made him feel quite at home.
As for the jewelry, simply breathtaking.
Blason will be available in select Louis Vuitton stores around the world later this spring priced from $2,000 to $600,000. So instead of buying a car or a house, support your favorite delebrity.
C'mon, don't player hate, participate.
