TRENDS
The rise of a must-have Fashion Shields from the ‘90s and Y2k aesthetics are the trend that strongly holds up in the latest fashion brand collections By Roberta Mella Simion
Single-lens, wrap-around and futuristic silhouette reminiscent of sporty sunglasses: fashion shields create a statement effect that does not go unnoticed, a declaration of presence. Perhaps this is why they are loved by celebrities and fashion addicts alike, so much so that they have become favourite styles for the diva look, almost as much as oversized frames were in the 1970s. Simply saying “ goggle” is an understatement, as this eyewear family encompasses different style concepts: from atleisure (athletic-leisure: a mix of sportswear/accessories and more classic garments, not for training but for leisure) to streetstyle, from disco-clubbing inspirations to precious details, to technical design influenced by the silhouettes of performance sunglasses. A trend that reconfirms and renews itself, finding plenty of space in the latest collections of fashion brands: on one side with increasingly captivating and elaborate proposals, on the other winking at the prevailing trend of Quiet Luxury.
DE RIGO Unisex design with an atleasure-style front. The special lens is customised with a mirrored gold effect that recalls the snakeskin pattern. The bold, faceted acetate temples feature the monogram RC logo
