We’ve received news of a new collection from Ray-Ban. It features items created in collaboration with A$AP Rocky. While he is popular among young people as both an artist and a fashion icon, he was also appointed as Ray-Ban’s first-ever creative director last year. He is playing a key role in further expanding the visibility of this historic brand.
The collection announced this time is the Metal Collection. In addition to sunglasses, it also includes the first pair of optical frames designed by A.Y.S.P.
The silhouettes reinterpret classic shapes with a modern twist. Each pair features compact, wide-set lenses, creating a sophisticated look.
