Cool + Candid

Fusing the elegance of British tailoring with the authentic appeal of American workwear, rag & bone unveils its latest optical and sunglass styles available from Safilo.

The collection is presented via the brand’s latest candid photo project as actors Kiernan Shipka and Gavin Leatherwood used their personal iPhones to capture spontaneous photos around Los Angeles.

Here, Shipka sports the rag & bone RNB3039, a cat-eye style in lightweight acetate with comfortable flex hinges. The frame’s core wire showcases the brand’s signature dagger motif.

All optical styles and select sunglasses incorporate the eyewear collection’s innovative TORX six-point screw-head hinge system, designed for easy adjustment for a customized fit.

Sophisticated Styling

Altair Eyewear introduces the Joseph Abboud eyewear collection for Spring/Summer 2021, offering four new optical styles inspired by the sophisticated menswear brand.

The latest collection debuts frames with polished details including genuine wood temple constructs in African wood, walnut, and ebony. The assortment also features versatile tortoise colorways, herringbone patterns, and the signature Joseph Abboud diamond logo.

De Rigo has announced a licensing agreement for the design, production, and distribution of Gap-branded prescription frames and sunglasses in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. The first Gap eyewear collection is scheduled to be launched in 2022.

Kering Eyewear has launched the Blue & Beyond project, offering high-end frames equipped with blue light and photochromic UV protection. “Over the last year, the increasing amount of time spent in front of digital screens led us to develop a novelty for the industry, as these intelligent lenses have a double filtering effect that is unique in the fashion and luxury segment, especially if adopted, as in this project, by high-end brands,” says Roberto Vedovotto, president and CEO of Kering Eyewear.
