“Our brand La Femme really began focusing on what some would call novelty eyewear since our inception as a brand,” says Pitt, who is also La Femme et Noir’s CEO. “When we got the
Alien license one of the first things I knew I wanted us to do was sunglasses that looked like the Xenomorph. I always thought that it was one of the best creatures ever created for film, and how amazing it would be to use the exoskeleton as a baseline for sunglasses design. We took our designs to John Wrightson (
The Walking Dead, KNB Effects) who in his free time thanks to COVID, sculpted them beautifully for us. We also had the opportunity to collaborate with artist Wayne Chang to do traditional watercolor pieces to create the unique novelty print inside the sunglass packaging.” ($118)
