If eyewear labels and luxury houses foster their creativity to imagine more eccentric designs each summer, vintage is a complete success. Alongside Gucci, who imagines an imposing mask-shaped model with yellow and purple lenses adorned with its logo, Saint Laurent dares to bring out the heart-shaped sunglasses worn by Sue Lyon in Stanley Kubrick’s cult classic Lolita.

For their second collaboration, Spanish eyewear label Etnia and the young painter and digital artist Ignasi Monreal offer designs with obvious surrealist accents, with their eyes painted on the temples. Used to sci-fi creations, Balenciaga transforms the famous cat-eye model into an appealing cyber accessory, while Versace easily convinces us with its Medusa-shaped frames. Of course, Swarovski tries maximalism with a rhinestone design. As for Miu Miu, the brand introduces a squared, metal design.

For Loewe, Jonathan Anderson turns sunglasses into flowers, while Fendi, Levi’s, and Dior make us see life through technicolor glasses. You cannot not want a pair of Bottega Veneta, declined in their emblematic green color palette. Chloé, Jimmy Choo, Pomellato, and Alaia opt for 70s elegance with big round models. Isabel Marant offers colorful pilots, and Hugo Boss and Givenchy present incandescent sportswear shapes.
