Singer Pharrell Williams has designed a limited edition collection of sunglasses for Moncler, made out of single pieces of titanium which have been described as being ‘halfway between futurism and the 50s’.
The collection is to be unveiled on September 26th 2013 in Paris to coincide with the opening of Moncler’s flagship store and Paris Fashion Week.
The three time Grammy Award winning musician has recently teamed up with Moncler to design a range of Moncler Lunettes sunglasses for men and women. Mr. Williams himself will also be fronting the advertising campaign for the brand. This is by no means the Neptunes frontmans first foray into fashion territory, however, having previously teamed up with the brand in 2009 to create a special line of men’s jackets.
“He represents the very best of all that is contemporary, creative and international, the same characteristics that underpin the entire Moncler project and the Moncler Lunettes collection,” chairman and chief executive officer Remo Ruffini said.
Homies with the likes of Alexa Chung and model of the moment Cara Delevingne, the voice of Daft Punk’s ridiculously massive hit of the summer ‘Get Lucky’ has undeniably always had a great sense of style.
Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo make up the record production duo The Neptunes, producing Soul, hip hop and R&B music. He is also the lead vocalist and drummer of rock, funk, and hip hop band N.E.R.D, which he formed with Hugo and childhood friend Shay Haley.
As part of The Neptunes, Williams has produced numerous hit singles for various musicians. Williams has earned four Grammy Awards, two of which as part of The Neptunes. He is also the co-founder of the clothing brands Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream Clothing.
