It represents pure glamour in everyday fashion, offering a variety of unapologetically sexy apparel and eye-catching accessories. The new eyewear collection is the perfect combination of sophistication and style synonymous with the brand. Taking its inspiration from the ’60s, the eyewear is made in Italy and ranges from modern updates of such classic styles as rectangles to sexy cat eyes and over-sized silhouettes. Frames are constructed of acetate and metal with Swarovski crystal embellishments and casted logos. Key colors include burgundy, tortoise, demi amber, black and metallic hues.
