TI Shoots Giant Magazine in Benjamin Eyewear

TI rocked the Benjamins for his Giant Magazine spread. The black “Kayne” works perfectly with Kenneth Capello’s 70’s sharp look. Also featured is the Benjamin Aviator, this frame has a perfect fit for almost any face. Giant miss credited all but one of the frames to Ray-Ban, but trust me you cant find this frame in the sunglass hut.

Kanye x Kayne Sunglasses

No its not a collab between two great designers, just a play on emerging styles.

Can you ID the glasses that Kanye is wearing in the Promo pics for his new Album, 808 & Heartbreaks?
Maybe a new release from his company Pastelle.

And maybe you have seen what Benjamin Eyewear has done with his premiere piece, “Kayne” inspired by designer Jenni Kayne?

Anyway, both are cool frames inside or outside the clubs.
