Philip Crangi

I first became interested in Philip Crangi by his picture alone. It was some months later that I learned that he was actually an important designer of Jewelry. The Bearded man I placed next to the Buddah on my mantle-piece was fast becoming an icon of mine.

Philip Crangi graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and since then has managed a successful career, collaborations with Vera Wang and Jason Wu and an odd obsession with taxidermy.

For GQ's 'Dress like a Rebel' series Crangi was asked about men wearing jewelry. He wisely suggests you start off with one item you like (on your wrist for instance) and add to it slowly. "BE A MAN, WEAR JEWELRY!"

Spotted!

Aaron, Seattle

I had to take a picture of Aaron because of his awesome jewelry. It was purchased the day before at a stall in the Waterfront - it's an Ethiopian Blessing cross! All he did was add a neck-string and there you have it. See how easy it is boys?




I'll work on the resizing in a bit!
