Nationwide — New York City Fashion Week is always a hotspot for iconic moments, where high fashion meets culture, and this year, it was no different. In a bold display of style, celebrities Carmelo Anthony, Jim Jones, and Maino were seen supporting Balacia Jewelry, a Black-owned jewelry brand specializing in all things jewelry, reinforcing the movement toward supporting businesses that prioritize diversity and empowerment within the luxury space.Future NBA Hall of Famer, Carmelo Anthony, has long been an advocate for black entrepreneurship, and during NYC Fashion Week, he took that commitment to new heights by endorsing the work of Balacia. Known for his impeccable style on and off the court, Anthony was seen receiving Balacia’s signature watch. Anthony’s support alone sends a message that the cultural and economic empowerment of Black-owned businesses is not just a passing trend, but a long-term investment in the community.
Jim Jones: An Icon Elevating the Culture
Hip-hop has always been deeply intertwined with fashion and jewelry, and Jim Jones is one of the genre’s veterans who continually pushes the envelope. The rapper and music entrepreneur, known for “BALLIN” with top-tier jewelry to show for it, was another prominent figure spotted supporting Balacia while filming his upcoming movie “At the Church Steps”.
Jim Jones’ support for the brand extends beyond fashion — it’s about elevating the culture. “You see me shining!? Yeah, stop playing with him (referring to Devon Carter Co-Founder of Balacia Jewelry),” said Jones as he flexed his Rose Gold/Chocolate Face watch from Balacia.
Maino- “That One Fire!
Rapper Maino, a fixture of New York’s hip-hop scene, also made time to support black-owned luxury brand, Balacia. Maino, much like Jones and Anthony, understands the power of influence.
“That one fire!” Maino stated as he unboxed Balacia’s Silver and Black executive watch.” It’s like an Audemar or a Hublot. This a Black man?” Maino continued as bystanders confirmed and referred him to Balacia’s website.
