Clear view: all is revealed with the latest sunglasses frames
Coming into focus this summer are sunglasses frames that nod to the hardware that holds them together. At Prada, metal details have been placed directly onto the frame – vintage-inspired pilot frames are finished with visible screws and a metal double bridge. For his collaboration with Silhouette, Austrian fashion designer Arthur Arbesser has opted for a rimless style, with lenses that appear to float within their angular frames. Lindberg’s gradient lenses also hover within a retrolooking double metal rim, while Chanel’s pink-toned styles resemble a coloured filter that one would place over a camera lens, fixed into place with a succession of tiny screws. Shades of greatness indeed.
