Two sister styles (K5006 and K5007) for girls offer brightly colored camouflage temple designs and a touch of sparkle.

ICONIC LOOKS REIMAGINED

Cutler and Gross unveils its limited-edition Heirloom Collection this month, commemorating the 45th anniversary of the brand’s first flagship boutique in Knightsbridge, London. There, every piece was initially handmade in a workshop above the boutique (increase in demand eventually moved production to Cadore, Italy).

The collection encompasses 10 models, each representing key moments in the brand’s history. Model 0286 (pictured) is a replica of the frame worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1963 film "Charade," and was produced by the factory that made the original. Another standout is the 0431 frame, which was worn by icons such as Iggy Pop, Bono, and Princess Diana. Retail pricing ranges from $495 to $650.

VERSATILE DESIGNS

The arched brow line brings elegant style, and Perfect-Fit nose pads and adjustable temples provide comfort. The A6 is available in Red, Black, and Tortoise. A more petite fit is available in A5, a cupcake-shaped frame with OVVO’s signature screwless hinge.
