Jill Sander styles are set in stone

Jill Sander has released its winter 2011 collection of sunglasses and ophthalmic frames. The designer said it had intended to make a bold statement with the new collections, through new colourations and modified silhouettes.

The oversize JS6585 (1) sunglass and JS2664 (2) frame employ a new scratched stone texture. The sunglass model sports an oversize shape with graduated tinted lenses which contrasts with the red colour scheme. A subtle stamped Jill Sander logo is a departure from the brash branding trend seen in sunglasses over the past two or so years. The frame design has a 50s cat's eye shape and sports a purple take on the new stone finish. A recessed logo plaque gives the frame some subtle branding.
