In honour of the 35th anniversary of Michael Jackson's Thriller album, illesteva has recreated his go-to oversized aviator lenses with a modern twist. By partnering with the King of Pop's estate, the sunglass company created 200 limited edition frames that are available for purchase today.
With Jackson's recognizable lenses, and statement-making ensembles, he rose to a fashion icon and was photographed in jaw-dropping looks throughout his career.

'90s fashion may be back, but it's clear we can't ignore '80s trends with the rise of these oh-so-cool shades. "The gold mirrored face is accented with lightweight gold temples and engraved with Jackson's signature," a press release stated. Additionally,"the original aviator style frame reimagined by illesteva, was created using a single sheet lens." One word: dope.
The style icon's sunglasses retail for £184 ($240), are available for purchase on illesteva's site.
