If you were living under a rock this weekend, be it hangover or social media hiatus, you might’ve missed the trio of Pharrell, Ye and Tyler the Creator at the Kenzo AW22 show in Paris. While the rest of the internet was busy talking about the mystery that is Ye and Julia Fox, we were busy staring at not only Pharrell’s Tiffany & Co. diamond sunglasses, but his very own Richard Mille collaboration. Heinously priced but certainly stylish, the neon orange model showcases the inimitable barrel-shaped case, depicting an astronaut landing on Mars, supposedly a dream of the musician’s. To recreate the imaginary Martian scene, the curved 5N gold visor has been engraved using specially created burins, grand-feu-enamelled and then hand-painted. The engraving alone requires 15 hours per piece, followed by an entire day of grand feu enamelling. Pierre-Alain Lozeron had to apply all his patience, skill and dexterity to bring these creations to life.
