The latest styles are mainly titanium, although there are two womenÕs acetate models, one of which is an elongated catÕs eye shape with riveted metal temple detail. This, states Norville, features McQueen signature colours of morello cherry, mink and aquamarine, with a fine silk inlay with a textured feel.
The heavier acetate model is a classic rectangular shape with exaggerated slope sides, that comes in blackberry, graduated sea blue, French navy and dark faux horn.
There are three new rimless designs, including one cutaway version, as well as large aviators and a choice of supras with flowing bars for a 1950s retro look.
Also new is the Tiger Eye Limited Edition metal model with acetate sides, and there are models with press-plaited side detailing and knotted hinges.
The styles come with lens tints to flatter the frame colours, with lime green lenses, iced and slightly mirrored finishes in the metal collection, which features eye sizes from 52 to the Ôall encompassingÕ 64 eye.
