The Gentle Monsters x Alexander Wang M.PRI$$ sunglasses have been unveiled by the brands as a new collaboration eyewear style that was first shown off at the Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2019 show.
The sunglasses come in two color variants including black and gold, and clear and silver which are both characterized by an oval lens shape. The frame of the sunglasses is wrapped with a metallic snake that conveys an exotic aesthetic that is only observable from up close; the reptilian accent otherwise looks like an abstract component to add further visual intrigue for onlookers.
The Gentle Monsters x Alexander Wang M.PRI$$ sunglasses will be available from both brands starting September 12 at a cost of $320.
