Ian Curtis inspired sunglasses by Ghostly + Warby Parker

Ghostly International has been home to some of the most creatively innovative musicians and artists around since 1999.  Ghostly's latest endeavor is a partnership with eyewear company Warby Parker.  The two recently announced they've teamed up to create a new collection of sunglasses.  One pair in the collection is titled Curtis - inspired by Ian Curtis, the late singer of Joy Division.  How does it all relate?  Founder of Ghostly, Sam Valenti IV, sees a pretty major parallel between enveloping yourself in music and throwing on a fantastic new pair of new shades:

"putting on a fresh pair of sunglasses transforms your mood as fundamentally as putting on a song you love."

Curtis is available in Ghostly Grey Matte (pictured above), or Revolver Black (pictured below).  Take a look at the whole Ghostly/Warby Parker collection here.


For every pair sold, Warby Parker will donate a pair of sunglasses to someone in need as part of their Buy A Pair, Give A Pair campaign. Find out more about the campaign here.
