Esquire sorts out Pharrell Williams shadesgate
In 2007, I met a largely pre-problematic Kanye West at London’s Landmark Hotel. I was there to interview him about his upcoming third album, Graduation. West was busy, as befitted the overachieving multi-hyphenate. West had, he told me by way of an introduction, been up all night mixing a video, planning his live shows and I forget what else – possibly designing trainers.Not a problem, he explained. “I don’t need sleep.” It was 10am.
But it did raise an issue of etiquette: can you wear sunglasses indoors? Should you? And is it really rude and disrespectful to do so, in 2024?Leaving aside that some people require dark glasses for medical reasons, aka The Bono Excuse – ironically, Pharrell used the Graham Norton interview to discuss his sound-colour synesthesia, meaning he sees specific colours when he hears certain sounds – Esquire is of a mind to suggest that, actually, indoor-shades are perfectly fine.
