Prada celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2013 and this season's eyewear collections is said to show off everything that the daring brand has become famous for. Innovation, style and craftsmanship are all evident in the new range says Luxottica.

The Poeme capsule collection is this season's highlight. Debuted at the spring/summer catwalk shows earlier this year, models in the new collection are adorned with hand-painted flower detailing on either the temples or the fronts.

Models such as the SPR 26P sunglass are heavily influenced by the catwalk collection, with six flowers on the front of a heavy-set, oversized round silhouette with flat brow shapes.
