info The 422/B hails from 1996, a year before Gianni Versace was tragically killed. We'd like to think therefore that he has a hand in this wonderful design, complete with his trademark and iconic Medusa head logos on each side. Certainly around the mid-90s many of Versace's sunglasses designs were interpretations of this shape and style - indeed we've seen less scrupulous online auction sites make claims that this model was worn by the Notorious B.I.G. - but we've not seen a photograph of Biggy Smalls in the 422/B. But let that fact not detract from this cool piece of eyewear history: perhaps the 422/B was not available that week in Sunglasses Hut, Bergen NJ. This pair in very good condition, lenses excellent. Nice weight to it and the 5-charnier hinges give a smooth action. — klasik |
