Jerome Lamaar of 5:31 Jerome espouses and embraces opulence. When I visited his store/art gallery in the Bronx, 9J, a few weeks prior, I was instantly attracted to the light catching baubles, from rhinestone covered clutches to embellished bags and sequin addled separates. His Spring 2017 catered to his proclivities by means of unabashed sparkles. Titled, ‘Away’, the offering looked to the future, giving a forward, edgy, and avant garde take on casual wear.

Everything from bleached denim jackets to army fatigue pants beamed with Swarovski crystals. Everyday Birkenstoks were given new life with pearls and shells, meticulously affixed by hand. Straw hats were made to look like UFO’s.

Beyonce is a recent fan of Jerome’s artful handiwork and embellished pieces. I hope to see her, and many other Bombshells in his gracefully belted olive green jacket or off shoulder white mini dress.

I felt the presentation was a bit abbreviated, but had such strong statement pieces that it made enough of a visual impact. I can’t wait to see what he does next (and to get in a Swarovksi crystal jacket)!
