A$AP Rocky continues his role as Ray-Ban’s first creative director with the new Wayfarer Puffer crystal collection, available on the Italian-owned luxury sunglasses and eyeglasses brand’s official website, Ray-Ban stores, and select EssilorLuxottica retailers, including Sunglass Hut.
The crystal collection gives Ray-Ban’s idiosyncratic Wayfarer Puffer design a shimmering remodel, fusing spectacle and style — touchstones of the CFDA Style Icon Award recipient‘s aesthetic taste, per the brand. The square silhouette is newly amplified with sculpted curves and a curation of bold colorways, encrusted with crystal or diamond embellishments. The Diamond edition is available made-to-order.

Three styles feature in the collection — the Wayfarer Puffer Crystal Edition, Wayfarer Puffer Crystal Pavé Edition and the Wayfarer Diamond Edition. The Crystal Edition, retailing for $292, feature the Ray-Ban puffy frames sprinkled with crystal studs with a polished metal logo — available in black, blue, red, white, green and pink.
The Crystal Pavé Edition is drenched in pavé crystals from the front frame to the temple tip. This iteration of the style features in black, blue and white for $701 with allover pavé crystal embellishment. The Wayfarer Diamond Edition is a true collector’s piece. Available for $7,400, the sunglasses are meticulously detailed with 1.65 carats of hand-set natural diamonds.

The sunglasses also feature 14-karat gold finishing with the Ray-Ban logo boldly embossed at the temples. The style is available in red, blue, green and pink, along with classic black and white.
Following his appointment as Ray-Ban’s first creative director in February, Rocky and the luxury sunglasses and eyeglasses brand unveiled their first collaborative effort in July with the Next Generation collection featuring futuristic design inspiration.
