British superstar Elton John has teamed up with Sam's Club and Walmart in an all-new eyewear collection. Inspired by the artist's iconic style and legendary career, the new collection offers an array of brightly-colored and funky lenses.
From 'Rocketman' to 'A-List' to 'Progidy,' each frame is named after one of Elton John's many chart-topping songs and career accomplishments. The line is made up of four separate collections - The Foundations, the Formative Years, the Working Musician, and the Master Collection. Each collection celebrates a specific time in John's career and boasts a particular aesthetic.
John explains that his eyewear collection "celebrates confidence, self-expression, and authenticity." The artist hopes this line helps individuals build confidence and see themselves through a positive lens. The Elton John Eyewear Line is now available on Sam's Club and Walmart.
