Jacques Marie Mage RARE 1/200 Velvet Underground Emerald “Squeeze” Sunglasses

Jacques Marie Mage RARE Limited Edition 1/200 The Velvet Underground Emerald “Squeeze” Sunglasses Christa Päffgen, AKA Nico, remains one of pop music’s greatest enigmas. Born in Cologne in Germany in 1938, her modelling career took her over the Atlantic in the 60s and, thanks to some help from Andy Warhol, she wound up sharing lead vocals with Lou Reed in one of the most influential bands of the 20th century, The Velvet Underground. After releasing a seminal album of her own, she then somehow ended up in our home town Manchester, had a ‘domestic relationship’ with the bard of Salford, John Cooper Clark, and sadly died in 1988 after a cycling accident in Ibiza.  Jacques Marie Mage have decided to pay homage to Nico and The Velvet Underground with a new sunglass frame. Directly inspired by the oversized shades Nico wore at the height of her fame, the Jacques Marie Mage Squeeze frames are 60s-referencing sunglasses that capture some of the creative fire and dark magic that made her and the band so enchanting.  Jacques Marie Mage x The Velvet Underground "Squeeze" Light Green Emerald Tinted Sunglasses Numbered 123 of 200/Limited Production Batch.
