Music, technology and now eyewear - just some of the many industries pop star will.i.am has turned his hand to. Now, the self-professed creative innovator has applied his passion for fashion and design to eyewear with his new range for Specsavers.
The collection is heavily inspired by the rare vintage shapes worn by iconic '80s hip-hop artists including Run DMC and Flavor Flav, giving classic and iconic styles a futuristic twist.
'What makes my collection and designs unique are the subtleties and attention to detail that gives them the extra 'oomph', while remaining entirely wearable.'
