Trend alert: pastels

13th January 2012 The coming season promises lots of pretty pale shades, and with this in mind I have been looking out for some sunglasses that reflect a new mood. Prabal Gurung’s statement piece, a sunglass produced in a brand new collaboration with the well-loved London-based Linda Farrow gives a taste of this new wave in pale tints and transparents with a hint of the futuristic, despite referencing the 1950s catseye all the way….this is an unusual show-stopper of a design that has had great success on the catwalk where they were featured with Gurung’s bold floral print dresses and lavish figure-enhancing pieces with contrasting sheer panels.
