The heat is real! With the summer season in motion, head to Gucci, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen for their iconic oversized shades. Perfect for this weather, and perfect for your outfit. Whether you’re looking for bold colors or neutral tones, Kering Eyewear has you covered.
The new range of optical frames and sunglasses showcases the individualistic and creative spirit of Gucci. Drawing inspiration from archival elements of the House, the collection is an eclectic mix of shapes and styles reminiscent of the ‘70s and ‘80s. The Horsebit and Double G logo appear as design details throughout the line, paying homage to the brand’s roots.
Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna Gsvalia, injects traditional house codes with self-referential humour and tongue-in-cheek designs – a trait that filters down from the mainline collection into accessories. Eyewear designs draw from the archives to present retro-inspired shapes that make a statement; think polarised visors, exaggerated cat-eyes and tinted, fluorescent lenses.
The Alexander McQueen Summer 2021 eyewear collection features three varying styles. The Studded Lens sunglasses reference the punk heritage symbolism of Alexander McQueen, adorned with small metal studs integrated into an acetate insert on metal frames. The style comes in both round and cat-eye shapes and are available in red, brown, grey, blue and nude lens colors.
Collections mark the introduction of the unisex Skull Mask sunglasses, which features a metal skeleton structure with full mask lenses in solid smoke and solid light brown that is framed by small gold studs.
