PADOVA, Italy--Allison S.p.A. has released four new styles, two optical and two sun, into its Moschino eyewear collection.

The MO040 optical style (top) and the MO549 sun style (bottom) from Moschino and Allison S.p.A.

The new Moschino sun and prescription eyewear styles evoke irony with a new take on well-known symbols and concepts. Hearts and peace symbols take form on the sides or in metal trims that embellish frame fronts or are transformed into a pseudo-marquee logo. Heart-shaped studs, sparkling rhinestones, and little hearts inside the endpieces demonstrate the styles deliberate details.


The styles display streamlined and decisive lines that don’t compromise on the size of the frame fronts in the optical models and offers gently rounded volume in the acetate sunglasses, while the metal styles flaunt personality, like in the MO549 sunglass with a heart-shaped hinge on the sides.

Even the colors include sassy combinations; plastics come in violet/cobalt blue/apple green, burgundy/pink/coral and blue/beige/camel and are matched with leopard skin motifs, while the metals range from reddish bronze to rose and burnished palladium. The sun line displays a penchant for violet and metals with red and black enamels.

These new styles from the Moschino collection from Allison are priced to the dispenser between $95 and $140. ■
