In a groundbreaking collaboration, Saint Laurent and Anthony Vaccarello have teamed up with Ray-Ban to reimagine the iconic Wayfarer in a limited-edition Ultra Black Wayfarer. Since its inception in 1937, Ray-Ban has been a trailblazer in the eyewear industry, pushing the boundaries of style and functionality. The Wayfarer, introduced in the early 1950s with its distinctive thick frame, revolutionized sunglasses by transforming them from a functional accessory to a bold fashion statement. Today, the Wayfarer continues to embody timeless classicism.
This exclusive collaboration features only 1750 numbered pieces, making it a true collector’s item. The Ultra Black Wayfarer is designed with sharper edges and striking black details, including black metal rivets and black hinges. The sleek, all-black frame is complemented by the iconic G15 lens, ensuring that the sunglasses are not only stylish but also provide superior eye protection. Both brands are highlighted in silver on the temple tips, showcasing the partnership between two giants in the fashion and eyewear industries.
The limited-edition Ultra Black Wayfarer will be available at SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE Los Angeles and SAINT LAURENT BABYLONE starting June 1st. For those who prefer to shop online, the sunglasses will also be available on SAINTLAURENTRIVEDROITE.COM. This collaboration between Saint Laurent and Ray-Ban offers fashion enthusiasts a unique opportunity to own a piece of history that merges the best of both brands.
The Ultra Black Wayfarer’s design emphasizes the minimalist and edgy aesthetics that both Saint Laurent and Ray-Ban are known for. The black-on-black details and sharp edges give the sunglasses a contemporary feel while paying homage to the classic Wayfarer silhouette. This collaboration is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Wayfarer, a design that has remained relevant and stylish for decades.
