Lulu Guinness recalls 50s style

The latest sunglass collection from Lulu Guinness is inspired by the 1950s, with a nostalgic nod to an era of feminine shapes, cool cars and modern designs.

The sunglasses therefore take in shark fin curves and arched brow shapes, mirroring the nipped fashion of the time. The collection is also touched with highlights of Art Deco and Noveau as detailing and decoration, for example etching, layering and more modern techniques.

A sunglass highlight is model Belle, (pictured) a translucent acetate with a metallic shimmer effect frame in gentle colours including mother of pearl, but also featuring stunning lipstick red. There is a vintage feel to the model, which has a tear-drop lens shape, smoky lens shades and delicate filigree decoration on the wide sides. This is one of 17 Lulu Guinness sunglasses each is available in three to five colours, many with Swarovski detailing.
