Fresh off a courtroom triumph in a high-profile shooting case and Rihanna’s 37th birthday bash, A$AP Rocky’s week has been a whirlwind of headlines. Adding a dazzling cherry on top, the Harlem-born visionary etches his name in the annals of style as Ray-Ban’s inaugural creative director. A maestro of melody and couture, Rocky’s poised to steer the eyewear icon’s artistic ventures, reimagine its storefronts, and infuse a bold, singular flair into the brand’s aesthetic DNA moving forward.

As his opening move, he’s overhauling the flagship frame selection, introducing an innovative lens style.

The debut hits shelves this April. Ray-Ban’s president said in a statement, “Today, we are welcoming A$AP Rocky into our family; he’s a visionary artist and creator.” “His ability to push the boundaries of the diverse worlds he explores, aligns with the Ray-Ban DNA. We are reinforcing the brand’s values of innovation, pioneering spirit, and courage. Let the future begin!”
