AM Eyewear – Miami High Collection

This year, AM Eyewear takes us on a journey through time to the golden age of luxury with the Miami High Collection, evoking the glamour and vibrancy of the 1970s in the Magic City. Paying homage to Miami’s glittering crystal beaches, pastel-coloured art-deco architecture and vibrant lives from sunrise to sunrise, AM Eyewear founder Simon (Kumar) Ponnusamy captured that magic from the air and channelled it into the new collection, which uses sustainably-produced, sunset-inspired tinted Zeiss lenses and Italian-made, bio-based acetate in Miami’s dreamy shades.

Bayria Eyewear mod. Accua Caffè Rosati series

A series of glasses inspired by the use of pure colour, immediacy and references to Pop Art, with which the Capitoline artists revolutionised Rome in the 1960s. Mario Schifano, Tano Festa and Franco Angeli. Handsome, damned and talented. In their early twenties, they set up the Scuola di Piazza del Popolo even though school it was not: there were no masters or pupils. Glasses with strong material effects: the three-dimensionality given by the carvings in the eyepieces and the asymmetrical bridge, rigorously created by hand, are inspired by the geometry and symbolism of Angeli’s art.

Marchon Eyewear - LANVIN Mother&Child Curb Collection mod LNV638S

With temples enhanced by colourful embroidery evoking the laces of Lanvin sneakers, the new Mother&Child Curb sunglasses are the result of a combination of a premium acetate frame and vegetable resin temples. The metallic Mother&Child logo on the temples is a refined finishing touch. The sunglasses mod LNV638S with the feminine cat-eye front is available in Red or Dark Havana with plain lenses and Black with gradient lenses. The end pieces have holes where the Lanvin gold chain can be inserted.

Akoni Group Valentino Eyewear mod Valentino VIII

A feminine cat-eye-shaped model in titanium and acetate that combines the retro appeal of the 1950s with a resolutely modern attitude. Featuring technically sophisticated design elements such as iconic Valentino 3D studs on the top and front of the bridge, progressive twist temples, extruded studded temple tips and custom hinges. This model is available in traditional Valentino colour combinations such as black, tan and crystal burgundy.

Marcolin Group - Adidas Originals Eyewear

The new adidas Originals eyewear collection reflects the rebellious optimism of the brand, translating it into a precise contemporary design.

This 50s-inspired style updated with an intriguing, casual look can be worn any time of day.

Vinyl Factory Legend Collection mod AFROPUNK

‘It’s a long way to the top’... This 1975 rock anthem perfectly describes the mindset of Vinyl Factory Legend. It is an eyewear collection that has made excellence part of its DNA. Like the legendary artists it is inspired by, the brand has surrounded itself with the best of the best and used only the finest materials to deliver impeccable design. Platinum and 22-carat gold are only a small part of the materials selected to make the customer experience unforgettable. In addition, all sunglasses are equipped with tempered mineral lenses.

IMMAGINE98 - MIC – Made in Cadore mod Maestrale

A brand that tells its true soul in its very name: a tribute to nature and its territory of origin, the Cadore and the Dolomites, places full of history and charm, with postcard views. The immensity of these spaces is projected in the models of this collection. This sunglasses model, with its wide, polygonal shape, presents an unusual balance that seems to overturn the usual canons, the broken line on the front and a softer line at the base.

Quoise Eyewear mod Manta

Quoise frames are designed and produced in Italy and made entirely of ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon from waste that would otherwise pollute our Earth. For every pair of glasses sold, the company donates 5 euros to organisations that defend, conserve and protect the seas and marine fauna. Bold and striking, the Manta sunglasses are a concentrate of extraordinary citations. They fuse soft and squared lines together, citing the fabulous 60s and mythical 80s and are developed in a strong and sophisticated colour palette composed of 4 variants: the Pantone of the year 2022 Very Peri, soft pink, deep red and pure black, which gives maximum emphasis to the design.

JPLUS - DNA Collection

Emotions, sensations, ideas and visions, these are the stimuli that inspire the 2023 collection, marked with the No. 0, which opens a cycle of campaigns, whose aim is to project the vintage taste, the inspiration of the Beat Generation, peculiar to JPLUS, to contemporaneity, to the Millennials Generation, to the generation of awareness and responsibility, of women and men responsible for their own choices. The DNA Collection proposes unexpected combinations with a strong reference to the 90s, with oversize models both bold and slim, and over temples to underline the emphasis on improbable and strongly identifiable combinations.

Marcolin - GUESS x J BALVIN capsule collection

“The look of love”, a vision of peace; this is the inspiration for the third eyewear capsule collection created by Colombian singer J Balvin in collaboration with GUESS and Marcolin. Two exclusive models each in one special colour, GU8261 with geometric lines and in shiny black and GU8262 in ivory. Both feature a lively and colourful J Balvin chain with small playful pendants and have the GUESS logo in a red heart shape on the side of the temples.

Retrosuperfuture mod Alva

An oversized unisex shape that reinterprets what could be considered traditionally feminine garments with a contemporary, genderless cut. Alva is a sexy, enveloping model that combines absolute elegance with street coolness. A “key” model of the season, destined to become an RSF icon, with its strong character, wide lenses and thick temples.

Calvin Klein Jeans Eyewear mod CKJ22639S

Part of the Iconic Monogram line, these sunglasses combine a glamorous butterfly front with dark solid lenses and stand out for their bold shades, which include the Electric Blue chosen for the advertising campaign, Pink, White and Black. The thick black metal temples are embellished with a 3D CK logo in the same colour as the front, creating a bright contrast.

OLIVER PEOPLES NINETEEN SIXTIES Collection

Oliver Peoples revives the golden age of travel in Nineteen Sixties, a campaign that evokes the glamour of air travel typical of that decade. The campaign marks the debut of the two new models in the retro-inspired Nineteen Sixties collection of the same name, Cassavet and Merceaux. Cassavet sports an oversized rounded shape with a key bridge. The acetate shows a deep beveled edge, while the filigree plate, hinge and core are inspired by the golden engravings typical of antique leather-bound books. Merceaux applies the same features to an original square silhouette.

SNOB Milano - BIO LUX Collection – mod Radetzky

SNOB Milano continues its path of research aimed at experimenting and choosing new solutions - materials, treatments, colours - that are increasingly compatible with the environment and at the same time meet the brand’s quality and aesthetic standards. The new BIO LUX line includes 3 new models made of plant-derived bio-plastic combined with beta-titanium temples - an extremely light, resistant, flexible material as well as being hypoallergenic, non-toxic and biocompatible. Radetzky, the iconic eyewear of the collection, launched in 2016 and immediately becoming a must-have for the Milanese brand, is now the symbol and trait d’union of this new transition: in the new BIO LUX version it reaches full awareness with opaque colouring and a bold, sophisticated look.

KOO EYEWEAR mod COSMO

Sunglasses, besides quality lenses, must also have a strong aesthetic appeal, to meet the tastes of all sportsmen and women or those who like to live an outdoor life, amidst a thousand activities. KOO Eyewear, the Italian brand specialising in the development and production of sports eyewear, has combined these two aspects in the COSMO model available in seven colour variants. The rounded frame is made of Grilamid® and the rubber nose pad and temples remain snug even when wet. Zeiss polycarbonate lenses are also available in the polarised version.

Oakley - mod Hydra

The new semi-rimless sunglasses are inspired by the Razor Blades, the brand’s very first sunglasses inspired by surf culture. The campaign for Hydra, which features professional surfers and Team Oakley athletes Ethan Ewing and Griffin Colapinto on a surf trip to Indonesia, embodies the motto “Good Times Only.” Hydra has Oakley’s exclusive features, such as Prizm™ lens technology designed to enhance colour and contrast, and Unobtainium ® non-slip lugs, also in a Low Bridge Fit version.

The collection is an emphasis on how personal growth and individuality can be shown through frames.

Marchon Eyewear Longchamp Eyewear mod LO716S

Inspired by the non-conformist spirit and charm typical of Parisian women, the model is characterised by a revisited rectangular front and chunky proportions. This plant-derived resin sunglasses model comes in a varied colour palette that includes the vibrant transparent Orange version, the star of the campaign, the two trendy Green and Rose variants, and the classic Black and Havana shades, all paired with solid colour lenses. The wide temples feature a medallion with the Longchamp horse in gold metal, an icon of the brand’s unmistakable identity.
