“Jewelry has always been ingrained in hip-hop culture. And it is certainly a question of a situation that transcends, to show one’s success, to wear this success on your body… It will prove to you ,” explained the show’s curator. Vikki Tobacco to whom we owe the anonymous book published by the publishing house Baggage in 2022. “On the one hand, it’s a very human trait, men have always done it. But if you add the history of hip-hop, it’s a completely different story. Hip-hop in fashion, and jewelry too, is rooted in customization and remixing, just like music.”
The remix extends to the show itself, which avoids taking a hard time with themes that draw inspiration from song titles such as Money or Power & Respect. First, Hey Young Worldserves as an introduction and includes the eye patch, the yin-yang necklace and a diamond-encrusted crown Slick Rick who worked as chief counsel; the belt buckle Bape from Pharrell par Jacob & Co. and the sides of Get Elan ; the artistic Lego crocodile in diamonds and precious stones fromA$AP Rocky par Alex Moss ; and neck Queen’s Bridge borrowed directly by More. We can only imagine these artists coming together on a song.
