A$AP Rocky has officially unveiled his first campaign as Ray-Ban’s Creative Director, showcasing the much-anticipated Wayfarer Puffer sunglasses. The stylish frames were first seen at high-profile events like the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival, and now they are ready for a wider release.
The Wayfarer Puffer campaign is particularly special as it features local models from Rocky’s hometown of Harlem, highlighting the community and culture that shaped him. The campaign emphasizes the tagline “Rooted in Harlem. Designed for the world,” showcasing both Rocky’s personal style and his deep connection to his roots.
The sunglasses come in a variety of vibrant colors including red, pink, blue, green, black, and yellow, retailing at $202 USD. While they don’t feature the extravagant embellishments of the one-of-a-kind versions Rocky sported at the Met Gala—such as an 18-karat gold logo and natural diamonds—they still embody a sleek and polished aesthetic.
Rocky’s appointment as Ray-Ban’s first-ever creative director back in February was seen as a natural progression for the rapper, known for his keen fashion sense. His debut collection, the “Black Out Collection,” set the stage for this latest release, firmly establishing him as a significant figure in the fashion world.
The Wayfarer Puffer campaign stands as a visual testament to Rocky’s influence and the vibrant culture of Harlem, bringing together art, community, and style in a way that resonates with fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
