Make Like Pharrell Williams and Recreate Chanel’s 2017 Style

Pharrell Williams is a long-term member of the Chanel family, and he has recently been announced as the latest star to shine in Chanel’s 2017 press campaigns: he is set to be the first ever male purse model for the brand. A-list music star and Vesso team favorite Pharrell is the perfect fit for the Chanel brand, and his distinctive style and passion for fashion means he has attracted fans from all over the world.

Pharrell has been wearing Chanel necklaces for years, choosing to stack and layer several chunky and bold necklaces together at the same time to create a look that is both urban and elegant. What you may not know is that those Chanel necklaces Pharrell wears so proudly aren’t actually made by Chanel: instead he has his own personal jeweller recreate the latest Chanel designs in real gold and gemstones to create his signature high end style. Oh, to be a millionaire! Pharrell isn’t the first celebrity to bring an elaborate male jewelry style into the mainstream style psyche, but he is the first to secure the support of such a high-end designer label and receive such acclaim from the fashion industry for his choices.

The good news is that you too can recreate Pharrell’s fabulous Chanel look using some of the high-quality gold plated pieces available from Vesso. The key to achieving this look is to start with some good quality basic chains in a variety of different lengths and thicknesses: Our 28 inch Franko necklace {link} layered over our 30 inch Rope Chain {link} is the perfect base for this look. To inject some Pharrell-style detail you then need to add a necklace with some quirky detail designed to attract attention: the Vesso micro diamond cross necklace in white gold {link} is almost identical to the one Pharrell wore for his latest feature in GQ magazine, and the color of the white gold will really pop and stand out when combined with the classic gold chains.

Pharrell has inspired one of the key aspects of the Chanel looks for 2017, with creative director Karl Lagerfeld sending models down the runway dripping in as many different pieces of jewelry as possible. This more-is-more approach to accessories is a new one for Chanel. Coco Chanel was not a fan of over-accessorizing and famously advised: “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” However, thanks to the influence of Pharrell, Chanel men and women all over the globe will now be accessorizing as much as possible and layering all of their most stylish jewelry pieces together. Why not choose your favorite piece from Vesso’s innovative collection to add to your Chanel-inspired look? It’s sure to be a key style trend for 2017!
