JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT EDITION CROWN PIN

Johnny Nelson is a name-sake label founded in 2017. Each piece is proudly crafted in New York City using various fine metals and stones. Nelson’s first piece was an attention-grabbing 3-finger ring, made with stone and wire, that he asked his mother to bring to life. It was then Nelson found he had not just a genuine passion for jewelry, but the raw talent and creative vision to match. In his designs, Nelson draws inspiration from his diverse artistic and cultural experiences that merge punk, hip-hop, and spirituality. The line heavily focuses on statement pieces that spark conversation amongst consumers.

Those Who Dress Better is a landmark collaboration between the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat and ten NYC-based emerging fashion designers.

The collection — Curated by Black Fashion Fair — features designers Taofeek Abijako, Everard Best & Tèla D’Amore, Brandon Blackwood, Shanel Campbell, Keith Herron, Antoine Manning, Anifa Mvuemba, Johnny Nelson and Edvin Thompson

The collection features artifacts for the future — bringing the spirit of Jean-Michel to life with unforgettable new garments and cultural keepsakes — taking thoughtful inspiration from the life, style, and artwork of Jean-Michel and the King Pleasure exhibition; paying homage to a truly free style icon.
