The musicians were selected for their incredible (and often iconic) taste in sunglasses, and for their place in Cubitts’ workshop team’s hearts.
Elton John
A remake of the shocking pink palm tree sunglasses that Elton John wore in 1973, complete with deep pink lenses (alas, without the matching pink satin suit).
John Lennon
Not a remake of the small metal teashade frames so often associated with John Lennon, but a pair of bold sunglasses from Austrian brand Silhouette’s ‘Futura’ collection that he was photographed in while hanging out with his good friend Elton.
Keith Flint
An homage to the white-rimmed, yellow-lensed sunglasses that Keith Flint was often photographed in during The Prodigy’s early years in the 1990s.
All three pairs of sunglasses are in the Cubitts Archive.
