When Elton John meets LPLR in Saint-Tropez
Elton John and LPLR: love at first sight in Saint-Tropez
The ultimate icon of style and refined eccentricity, Sir Elton John has always turned eyewear into more than just an accessory. His glasses are true extensions of his flamboyant personality and form an essential part of his artistic identity. That’s why it was with great pride that LPLR saw the British legend fall in love with its creations during a memorable visit to Saint-Tropez in 2016.
While visiting the prestigious optician Marc Le Bihan, Sir Elton John acquired around ten pairs of LPLR, drawn to the brand’s bold universe and graphic personality. Moments after leaving the boutique, he was already wearing one of his new frames—captured by paparazzi flashes in a scene of effortless, unapologetic elegance.
LPLR: a world that celebrates individuality
What draws both artists and discerning eyewear lovers to LPLR is the brand’s commitment to a strong, colorful, and unapologetically personal aesthetic. Each frame is designed as a statement piece—sitting at the intersection of design and self-expression. It’s no surprise that an artist as free and visionary as Elton John would be captivated by this unique approach to eyewear.
Iconic frames for iconic personalities
That standout moment from the summer of 2016 remains a defining memory for the LPLR house. Seeing Sir Elton John walk out of Marc Le Bihan’s boutique with an LPLR frame on his face, under the gaze of the world’s cameras, was both an honor and a powerful confirmation: LPLR glasses are made for those who dare. For those who see fashion as a playground—an expressive space to tell their story, boldly and freely.
In short: an unforgettable encounter, a shared sense of style
