Designed by legendary Italian fashion designer Romeo Gigli, these rare 2006 "shield" sunglasses embody the brand’s distinctive fusion of elegance and experimentation. Gigli was a pivotal figure in redefining Italian fashion during the '80s and '90s, known for his romantic, fluid silhouettes and his influence on a generation of designers. Though not a household name among younger audiences, he is widely regarded as one of the great visionaries of modern fashion.
As a fun detail, this exact model was spotted on Chaney Jones, Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend, when they were together. It adds a subtle pop culture touch to an already iconic piece.
They’re in good condition overall, with some damage on the inside that isn’t visible when worn and doesn’t affect the regular use of the sunglasses.
