Persol's Greta model
Ray-Ban Meta
Wearers of the next generation of Ray-Ban
and Meta’s smart glasses can livestream what they see on sogenera080p videos in portrait orientation.
Discreet open-ear speakers are also included, so the wearer can privately listen to their recording while remaining aware of their surroundings.
An hour in a smart eyewear case provides a full charge for 30 minutes of hands-free livestreaming at a concert or skiing, for example, or recordings can be managed via a companion app on a smartphone.
Ray-Ban Meta is available as a Wayfarer (pictured top) or the new Headliner (pictured bottom) models and is available in a variety of colour options and lens variations, including prescription, sun and Transitions, for a customisable look with over 130 colour and style combinations available.
Swarovski
The latest licensed brand added to EssilorLuxottica’s roster aims to bring joy to accessorising with eyewear through a jeweller’s craft.
Full-cut Swarovski crystals fold with the hinges for a bold and playful style enhanced by the brand’s colours.
SK7003 (pictured top) is a thin-rimmed, metal, cat’s eye sunglass with a lens tint that matches the crystal on the temple, most notably in Swarovski green.
The metal silhouette of SK7010 (pictured middle) is oval-shaped and has a subtle wraparound effect contrasted by the eye-catching Lucent crystal.
Other styles take inspiration from Swarovski’s Mesmera jewellery range and feature cuts and clusters of crystals that catch the light, including a clip-on SK7011 (pictured bottom) that elevates the sun style.
Persol
A cast of cinema and motor culture-inspired frames have been launched for autumn/winter by Persol.
Francis (pictured right) is a contoured statement silhouette, which the brand said created a bold look fit for centre-stage and the red carpet.
It has a low and wide rectangular front and Persol’s arrow icon bleeds from the front to an ultra-wide tapered temple.
Model Greta (pictured top of page) takes its style cues from ’70s racing with a double bridge and squared pilot shape. Colour options include honey and smokey acetates, as well as black or Havana.
Dolce & Gabbana
The Y2K trend continues and what better way to complete the look than with mask-shaped sunglasses?
On DG2298B (pictured left), Dolce and Gabbana goes big on the curves to create a futuristic look with bold D&G branding in crystals on either side of the front of the frame, which is available in black, pink or white.
The bold DG4446B model (pictured bottom) has a voluminous, geometric, acetate front that is contrasted by slender, double metal temples that feature crystal-embellished D&G branding.
