American rapper and Grammy Award-winning producer Pharrell Williams has collaborated with luxury Italian sportswear label Moncler on a superb sunglasses collection.
The “Lunettes sunglasses collection” by bad boy Pharrell Williams is featuring three entirely different frames, made all from single pieces of titanium though. And each pair incorporates quite a few design details that reflect the history of the french luxury brand of Moncler, yet every aesthetic approach has absolutely nothing to do with the other. One pair was born of clear steampunk influences, the other of space frames and the third has clean traditional lines.
