An absolute icon of style and chic eccentricity, Sir Elton John has always made glasses far more than an accessory. True extensions of his flamboyant personality, his frames are an integral part of his artistic identity.
Saint-Tropez, summer 2016. A moment that matters.
It was during a notable visit to Saint-Tropez in 2016 that Sir Elton John discovered the LPLR universe at the prestigious optician Marc Le Bihan — a true ambassador of exceptional eyewear design on the French Riviera.
It was love at first sight: the British artist acquired around ten pairs in a single visit, won over by the brand’s graphic universe and bold character. He was already wearing one of his new frames as he stepped out of the boutique.
”Captured by the paparazzi's flashes the moment he stepped out — the finest validation a frame could ever receive.
Glasses for those who dare.
If the LPLR universe appeals to artists and discerning enthusiasts alike, it is because the brand has cultivated, from the very beginning, a bold, colourful and radically personal aesthetic. Every model is conceived as a statement piece, at the intersection of design and individual expression.
It comes as no surprise, then, that an artist as free-spirited and visionary as Elton John was won over by this unique approach to eyewear. LPLR speaks to those who treat fashion as a playground — with audacity and freedom.
An aesthetic connection, a moment etched in memory.
That summer of 2016 remains etched in LPLR’s memory. Seeing Sir Elton John step out of Marc Le Bihan’s boutique with an LPLR frame on his nose, under the lenses of the world’s cameras, was both an honour and a confirmation: LPLR glasses are made for those who dare.
The story between Elton John and LPLR is one of aesthetic kinship — a spontaneous encounter between a legendary artist and a house that celebrates creativity without compromise. Proof, if any were needed, that LPLR frames can captivate the sharpest eyes and illuminate the most iconic silhouettes.
