Steve McQueen’s legacy is one which has stemed far past cinematic prowess, with his iconic fashion tendencies effectively having turned him into one of the world’s first modern influencers. The Thomas Crown Affair in 1968 saw him don a pair of Persol 714’s in a move which sky-rocketed the brand to success, and now they have released a 2.0 model of his iconic glasses.
The 714SM Persol sunglasses are a limited edition with 24K gold-plated lenses, and include a folding design, acetate Havana frame, and Persol’s signature Meflecto technology for extra comfort. The high-quality sunglasses come well-fitted into a snug leather case which is stamped with the King of Cool’s name – just in case you ever thought to forget where it all started.
