21st May 2013 Looking for something different this summer? Eyestylist has noticed some stunning transparent acetate designs with very special inlays inside the frame structure. From Linda Farrow and shoe and accessory designer, Charlotte Olympia in a collaborative collection, this showy piece (above) displays a tantalising coloured ostrich feather inside the clear acetate frame. It captures the mood of Olympia’s other pieces, such as her wicker bag featuring traditional wicker work mounted in transparent perspex. The sunglasses come in four delicate colours, including the peach/champagne version pictured above. www.lindafarrow.com
At Heidi London, real petals are the pretty choice of decorative inlay, adding a super feminine yet playful signature detail in a line that includes classic cat eyes and oversized circular shapes. Heidi Chan’s Sunglasses are available at some of the very finest fashion and online stores including Wolf & Badger (London) Henri Bendel (NYC), www.shopbop.com and, from this month, www.saksfifthavenue.com. www.heidilondon.com CN
