In 2015, the Pepsi brand created a 35 design custom emoji keyboard and used those same emoticons to decorate itd blue soft drink cans. This year, the popular soft drink label has appointed American designer Jeremy Scott to bring those same emojis to life with a capsule collection of emoji-themed sunglasses.
The collection will feature six pairs of sunglasses which are inspired by the Pepsi brand's PepsiMojis. So far, the two partners have shared their first pair of sunglasses which feature a 60s-inspired MOD frame done in citron yellow with Pepsi's nose-kissed emoji hanging off each of the arms.
Expected to drop in June 2016, this collection is bound to pair nicely with Pepsi's emoji-branded soda cans.
