GIORGIO ARMANI SUNGLASSES FOR SUMMER 2011
The colour blue is the focus for this summer collection by Giorgio Armani. Blue represents serenity, calm and tranquillity and the colour aims to conjure up images of distant cultures such as the Tuareg nomads of the Sahara…
This model has a simple profile, representing the authentic models worn by pilots and explorers. The rounded shape features a double bridge in metal across the nose and flecks of colour decorating the thick frames with, just as the old days, marvellous glass lenses.
A thin metal rim defines these distinctly retro oval sunglasses with a unique delicacy casino which is further emphasized by the softly graduated lenses in tones of blue or charcoal grey.
This classic feminine model is reinterpreted in a contemporary style through a subtle game of material contrasts. The face of the sunglasses comes in polished silver metal while the arms of the frame are a matt black acetate, creating an uncommon equilibrium with seductive colour options in grey, black, tan, bronze and brown.
