Best Sunglasses to Pack for a Summer Getaway

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

 A sophisticated symphony of opposites sets the rhythm of the new Alexander McQueen eyewear collection, merging tradition and modernity and celebrating the beauty of the unexpected.

Drawing on the house’s most iconic codes and a disruptive approach to timeless refinement, the seasonal line-up shifts from the reinvention of the brand’s distinctive shapes to newly designed frames, built on the juxtaposition between romance and rebellion, strength and delicacy.

Lightweight profiles in metal and acetate have bold volumes; sparkling skull earrings are embedded in the lenses, and three-dimensional skulls appear on end pieces and hinges. The sculptural embellishment on the brand’s signature mask design is crafted with a mirrored lens over an innovative skeleton structure.

To enhance the anarchic heart of the brand, the McQueen Angled family, references the rockabilly 1950s: dynamic temples are finished with a tone-on-tone lasered logo.

 

Youthful and casual, the McQueen Graffiti styles complete the collection playing with punk-inspired, versatile designs marked with the unmistakable graphic signature in contrasting colors. 

BOTTEGA VENETA

A series of sunglasses and optical frames from Bottega Veneta. Familiar shapes are reimagined with sharp contours and bold volumes featuring the iconic three-dimensional ribbon. A new triangular hinge nods to the House’s signature design codes, whilst rubber details adorn sporty styles and lightweight metals take on new silhouettes. A contemporary take on traditional staples, executed with fine craftsmanship. 

POMELLATO 

A sophisticated and free approach to modern femininity, intertwined with Pomellato’s impeccable approach to craftsmanship, characterizes the new Fall-Winter 2022 Eyewear Collection reimagining the brand’s iconic codes with an empowering spirit and a high fashion twist.

Drawn from the delicate yet unmistakable design of the Nudo Sautoir chain, a new optical frame with amplified contours makes its debut in a stylish combination of luminous textures and glowing details. The connotative elements of the necklace are recalled through an exquisite back/front acetate layer around the lenses, dazzling crystals evoking the signature griffes, and metal temples adorned with an elaborate motif of miniature loops obtained through the micro fusion technique and skillful hand finish inherited from the goldsmith tradition.

The quintessence of Pomellato’s Milanese style, the Iconica frames fuse refined elegance and youthful elan playing with bold and eye-catching profiles in glossy acetate. Appealing in their voluptuous minimalism, the square shapes evoke the splendor of the precious stones through transparent effects and vintage nuances enriched with a polished tubular metal plaque engraved with the Pomellato lettering.
