So since I’ve been in Europe, I’ve been scouring the streets for the best in urban fashion.
While in London, I met up with DJ Josh Madden, who put me on to French jewelry brand Nous Sommes (www.noussommes.fr):
Inspired by hip-hop’s Jesus Pieces, the line of pendants depicts stars in the worlds of music, movies, and fashion including Michael Jackson, Karl Lagerfeld, Rick Ross, Lady Gaga, Grace Jones, Spike Lee, and more. Fun and funky, they’ve been spied on Teyana Taylor, Rick Ross, Amber Rose, and Karl Lagerfeld himself.
Nous Sommes (French for “We Are“) necklaces allow you to rock and represent the faces of those you admire or aspire to be. Cool concept, non?
Coming soon: pendants featuring Jimi Hendrix and Marilyn Monroe.
The Designers of Nous Sommes with Terry Richardson
The pieces are 170 Euros ($230) each. A splurge, yes, but can you put a price on cool?

I have the Grace Jones necklace and I love it. Picture to come!
What do you think?
*Thank Josh (pictured below rocking a Nous Sommes necklace), for the tip:

question… are these real gold or real silver? if not… nope, i can’t see me paying that much for a piece of metal that will eventually turn. they’re cute though.
