JERMAINE DUPRI LAUNCHES NEW LINE OF EYEWEAR

Jermaine Dupri has hooked up with Cartier to create a limited series of eyewear to benefit the Hurricane Relief Fund. Dupri told Allhiphop.com, “I’ve been a long time supporter of Cartier and they know this. So, I was in the store one day getting something fixed and the thought [to create the eyewear] came to my mind. I asked for the manager and I’m thinking they gonna say ‘hell no,’ but they took a shot and thought it was a cool idea.”

The eyewear combines rimless frames with bubinga wood, a platinum finish and a fade lens with Dupri’s signature is etched in the lens and the frame is adorned with the classic Cartier “C” logo. The glasses cost $1,500 and can be purchased exclusively at the Cartier boutique in Atlanta, located at Lenox Square Mall.

Dupri added, “I wanted to do something that had my thoughts and prayers on it, so I was thinking of something special that would let the victims know I really care.”

A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to The Atlanta Community Food Bank and City of Refuge
