Stories of HipHop (Deutsche Ausgabe)

Bling-bling, grillz, chains - the aesthetics of hip-hop mirrored in its jewellery From oversized chains, grillz and hoop earrings to custom-made accessories, it shows how jewellery functions as an expression of personality, status, and cultural identity. Stories of Hip Hop combines the flashy glamour (bling-bling) of hip-hop with its cultural history - photographic portraits, album covers and statements merge with jewellery objects to create a vivid narrative that reveals the networks, identity, and aesthetics of this movement.
