MAN’S WORLD
The new Gucci model GG 1082/S from Safilo is a sunglass style in acetate and metal that features linear shapes defining the silhouette with precision proportions for fashionable men. The round shape draws its inspiration from the sensual, retro feeling of the Gucci Fall/Winter Fashion Show, and is enhanced by a flat design and the ultra-slim metal temples, which are softened for comfort and stylized by plastic oval-shaped end tips with the GG logo visible inside.
The new sunglass is completed by adjustable nose pads and mineral glass lenses, company representatives note. The palette includes ruthenium and gold, black and Havana, as well as spotted Havana in yellow, green, and burgundy.

GLAM ROAD TRIP
Worn by supermodel Sasha Pivovarova in the Fall-Winter 2014 campaign, Chloé’s new Dafne sunglasses from Marchon capture daring and confident cool for the icy months. The bold, geometric frame is constructed with a metal rim that overlaps the acetate bridge for a youthful and striking appearance. Together, the dark tinted lenses and strong silhouette create a sense of mystery. Offered in four colors, the Dafne is available gray, black, tortoise, and red.

BEJEWELED AND BALANCED
Emporio Armani’s new style EA 4040 from Luxottica offers a blend of masculine and feminine for contemporary urban-style eyewear. Pulled from the runway, its distinguishing features include contrasts of original materials and a touch of irony for the shapes and colors.
Smooth lines and opalescent surfaces enhance the contemporary style of the sunglasses’ refined, feminine design. The large pearl on each temple is a detail inspired by Emporio Armani Women’s Autumn/Winter 2014/2015 collection. Other references to the catwalk are the bright colors for the frame fronts, and opal pastel shades enhanced by a contrast with black temples. These sunglasses are available in black with gray lenses, and opal light blue and opal white with polarized gray lenses.
