RAEN, a leading premium eyewear brand, is proud to announce its collaboration with visionary artist Alex Knost to introduce the highly anticipated “Luxury Wig, A Collaboration by Alex Knost and RAEN.” This extraordinary collaboration reflects the spirit of adventure, innovation, and authenticity, showcasing the unique vision and authenticity that Alex Knost embodies.
In “Luxury Wig, A Collaboration by Alex Knost and RAEN,” his creations encapsulate the spirit of adventure, innovation, and authenticity. Each pair of sunglasses represents a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and style, designed to inspire and empower individuals who seek to make a statement with their eyewear. Year after year, Alex’s collaborations have consistently elevated the brand to new heights. His deep understanding of the brand’s ethos and his unique artistic vision converge to create eyewear that is both functional and aesthetically captivating.
Introducing Radio Star, the debut style of the collection, created in collaboration with Alex Knost. Inspired by 90’s era goggle-style sunglasses, this style takes eyewear design to new heights with its bulbous, nuance-fueled aesthetic that demands attention. The frame itself is a visual feast, boasting an array of textural details that create a multi-layered look, accentuated by the striking concave bridge design. With oversized wrapped endpieces, tapered temples, and a signature logo plate, Radio Star embodies a subversive allure that is destined to command the spotlight.
“Alex has been as much a part of RAEN’s DNA as any of us,” says co-founder Jeremy Heit. “His authentic and independent perspective on surfing and surf culture has been with the brand from the beginning. Knost translates that into every piece we’ve collaborated on over the years, consistently pushing the boundaries of what eyewear can or should be.”
The debut style of the collection, Radio Star, retails for $159.95 USD and will be available exclusively within this collaboration. Radio Star comes in three captivating colorways, providing options for individual expression:
– Radio Star: Gum/Cool Smoke-52
– Radio Star: Recycled Black/Dark Smoke-52
