Dramatic and Beautiful Eyewear
6th May 2014 Romance, beauty, music and art are among the influences Anna-Karin Karlsson expresses in her strong, and innovative eyewear designs. “I have a place in my head that I can go to, and see visions and sights, and I don’t need inspiration per se,” says the Swedish designer, “as I can go there, and imagine all sorts of things until it becomes something spectacular or meaningful. I call it ‘a flight upstairs’.”
Her enchanting “flight” includes striking sunglasses in black acetate adorned with either a lion or lioness – symbols of strength, courage and authority – plus exuding super style.
Love and beauty are highlighted in a stunning new colour combination of a favourite AKK design – Rose/Rogue. Smooth acetate in a leopard print – the majestic animal representing wisdom and mystery – is trimmed with carved roses. Anna-Karin Karlsson’s “flight upstairs” transports the wearer of her sunglass designs to magical kingdoms! www.annakarinkarlsson.com JG
