The Dawn of the Man Necklace
Issue 7 · Winter in the Desert · February 17, 2012
Dutch phenom Marcel Wanders was the first designer we spotted wearing a man necklace (it was a couple of years ago at ICFF in NYC). Since then, we've been noticing stylish males decked out in strands of turquoise, leather, feathers, tribal beads.
