Pharrell carbon pressure & time book

Featuring pieces from Pharrell Williams’ vast personal collection, this is a remarkable and unprecedented exploration of “bling” in hip-hop culture and fashion.

Few artists have had more influence on bridging hip-hop culture with contemporary luxury than Pharrell Williams. Nearly two decades ago, he collaborated with Louis Vuitton, marking the first integration of his designs into high jewellery from the major fashion houses. His innovative teams continue to this day, including a memorable partnership with Tiffany, and watchmaker Richard Mille.

From opulent chains and rings to intricately designed pendants, crafted with precious metals and adorned with gemstones, Pharrell’s jewellery not only defines his musical expression but also his personal style. His designs, which include unique pieces like solid gold cases for mobile phones and handheld gaming consoles, bear the unmistakable iconography of his own brands, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, adding to their legendary status.

This book was originally published with two different coloured covers. Customers can expect to receive one of the two colours randomly.

The book showcases over 100 pieces, many of which Pharrell co-created with industry luminaries such as Jacob & Co, Yoon & Verbal and Lorraine Schwartz. Collaborating frequently with artists such as NIGO® and Tyler the Creator, Pharrell analyses his role in the evolution of hip-hop jewellery, unveiling the processes behind his unique custom pieces, and offering insights into the burgeoning market for the most extravagant hip-hop collectibles.
