After joining Tommy Cash for “The Pure and the Damned” exhibition last month, Rick Owens has unveiled his latest eyewear campaign, presenting two stylish pairs for the upcoming range.

The first edition, “The Rick Frame,” takes on the signature wrap-around sunglasses shape that Owens often sports and will also be offered in an optical version. On the other hand, “The Shield” model gets juiced up with laser-etched details, special hardware and high-quality materials. Its standout features include inlaid metal studs, stainless-steel rims and temples that have been coated in Japanese acetate.

Both sets of eyewear are to release at Rick Owens’ stores beginning on May 15.
