- Unveiled at the recent KENZO Fall/Winter 2022 show designed by NIGO, Pharrell Williams sat in the audience sporting a pair of custom Tiffany & Co sunglasses.
- Seemingly announcing a partnership in the works, the multi-disciplinary creative sported special almond-shaped emerald, diamond-encrusted sunglasses.
- But after Tiffany & Co took to Instagram to share its co-creation with Pharrell, many pointed out a striking resemblance to a Mughal antique.
- Two pairs of the frames in question, dated back to the 17th century, were put up for auction last year by Sotheby's.
- Belonging to the Mughal royals that ruled the Indian subcontinent, the extremely rare antiques feature lenses cut from emerald and were created to aid a wearer in reaching enlightenment and ward off evil.
