Rihanna has named La Forge from Star Trek as the inspiration behind the frame, saying “I've always been obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together.” Dior's eyewear designer, Mathieu Jamin adds that the Rihanna frames are “really strong and something we don't have in the collection, so it's unique.”
