BillyBoy surreal costume jewellery
The history of the “BillyBoy” jewelry brand began in 1979, when American artist and fashion designer BillyBoy (born 10 March 1960) moved to Paris. He handcrafted jewelry pieces marked “Surreal Bijoux” and sold them in Parisian boutiques and shops. Later, he opened his boutique at 6 Rue de la Paix in Paris.
Notably, BillyBoy created jewelry for iconic brands such as Emanuel Ungaro, Hanae Mori, Thierry Migler, Daniel Paris, and others.
Meanwhile, his designs combined various styles, from Schiaparelli and barbarian tribal to surreal and geometrical designs. His surreal brooches, pendants, and bracelets continue to adorn museums, galleries, and private collections.
Traditionally, his decorations have marks like "ByllyBoy BB" or simply "BB."
I was fortunate enough to be in contact with Billy Boy's son, who updated me with the following news of Billy Boy:
He has had many shows, mostly in museums, since 1993. He has turned his focus from fashion to art back in the early 1990s; even when he was doing haute couture jewellery, he was showing his artworks in major museums like the Louvre Musée d'Art décoratif, (which has hundreds of pieces in their collection), the Victoria and Albert in London and the Kyoto Museum in Japan amongst many, many others. His Japanese gallerist, Sumiko Watanabe, has had four shows a year of his work since 1979, and she only retired last year. In Switzerland, for example, in 2006/2007, Ha had a one-man show in two major museums simultaneously, accompanied by a beautiful catalogue. One was the mudac (small "m" deliberate), which is the Museum of Art and Design, and the other was the Musée d'Elysée, the world-famous photography museum where he and Lala do photos. They exhibit at major art fairs, such as Art Basel and Frieze, and just last summer, they had a five-floor one-man show at the Musée Popa in Porrentruy, Switzerland. It also had a book released, which sold out in two days.
