Optician profiles a selection of key brands and styles from Kering, the recently formed eyewear behemoth that has the eyewear industry talking

Alexander McQueen

The brand shows its avant-garde spirit with the unisex Cut Lens collection. Eight different lens tints have been created for AM0092S. Handmade in Italy, this interpretation of the classic aviator shape features a customised construction.

Lenses are cut at an angle, with faceted Perspex bolted into the frames. Metal temples feature a laser engraved Alexander McQueen logo.

Ophthalmic frames such as AM0090 focus on traditional acetate silhouettes with contemporary metalwork. Sheet metal options such as AM00910 offer a different, more modern aesthetic.

Stella McCartney

Another brand that has been brought back in house by Kering, Stella McCartney Eyewear has produced a collection of styles inspired by fabrics and textures from the ready-to-wear fashion lines.
