Sàfilo Group launches Tommy Hilfiger eyewear, which consists of an ophthalmic collection featured here and a sunglass collection previewed last month. The new line embodies the neo-preppiness of the Tommy Hilfiger brand, designed with a classic, yet modern feel—a global symbol of the all-American spirit. Included in the ophthalmic releases are seven men’s styles, two women’s designs and two unisex frames (seven are metal, including titanium and stainless steel, and four are plastic). The metals feature clean lines that provide a sleek, contemporary look while the acetates trace back to the brand’s heritage, offering preppy flair mixed with a vintage feel. Colors range from the iconic Tommy Hilfiger combination of red, white and blue to refined classic hues such as black and havana for the acetates, and palladium and ruthenium red for the metals.
