Glam-rock from Marc Jacobs

Simon Jones

Marc Jacobs’ new special edition optical frame is described by its Italian manufacturer Safilo as having ‘feisty glam-rock appeal and blatant punk overtones’.

Its temple detail includes a logo underlined by metal studs echoing the designer’s other accessories creations. Pyramid and hexagonal studs decorate the frame, which is available in colour combinations including dark havana, black and black spotted honey.

Model MJ 292 has a boxy 1980s shape, comes in a white hard case and is personalised with the screw and stud detailing seen on the frame temple. It will be available from August 2009.
