You may recognize Victor-John Villanueva for his swanky hand painted celebrity T-shirts but this emerging sensation has yet another project up his sleeve. Villanueva has created a line of necklaces under his new brand 3PTPOP, set to launch on February 13th. The line includes limited editions of nine celebrities, including Anna Wintour, Andy Warhol, Karl Lagerfeld, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj.

“I think of these pieces as a convergence of art and fashion,” stated the designer. “You get to show off your passions in a very public way – and look good while doing it!”

The necklaces are bold, colorful, and dynamic.

To promote his collection, Villanueva has teamed up with Fab.com in a 3-day sale set to begin at 11 am ET.

3PTPOP (Three Point Pop) represents a fusion of the artistic and fashion-forward. Villanueva creates his pieces with fusible beads and resin. Future plans for the brand’s expansion include a collection of bag charms, keys chains, pins, as well as larger scale pieces.

So who is next to inspire this New York City based designer?

“I intend on creating more collections of pop culture icons. Right now I find the queens from RuPaul's Drag Race to be a totally inspiring!”

Villanueva’s work has been featured on America's Next Top Model and The Martha show, and in publications including The New York Times and Daily Candy.
