Biggie's Versace sunglasses, Michael Jordan's Jordans, Paul Newman's biker boots, Steve McQueen's crew neck sweatshirt, and JFK's gray suits are all icons in the menswear hall of fame and, as these things go, are knocked-off, "referenced" and mood board-ed by designers again and again. And right now, that's what's happening with Kurt Cobain's white oval shades.
This weekend at Coachella, both Pharrell and Take Off of Migos performed in the white plastic shades. And Harry Styles, who is at the brink of releasing his first solo album, has been spotted wearing similar shades since last year. And up-and-coming rapper Playboi Carti has been known to favor Acne Studios' 'Mustang' shades, a design that bears more than a passing resemblance to Cobain's own.
