The sun is shining, it’s holiday time, and L.G.R has stunning sunglasses that are the epitome of contemporary chic and style. The exclusive Yacht Club Collection combines elegance and high performance, and sporty SKIPPER, is the first model in this special edition – ideally suited to life on the water, leisurely lunches in the marina, or sipping an aperitif at sunset.

Skipper is crafted in acetate, and then covered with a special rubber layer; it is scratch resistance, waterproof, pleasant to the touch, and extremely comfortable to wear. The polarised lenses have twelve layers of anti-reflective coating – exclusively manufactured for L.G.R.

The Skipper model is available in four colour variations and handsomely presented in a beautiful satin blue box imprinted with the Yacht Club Collection logo. For the launch of this special edition, Luca Gnecchi Ruscone has also created a customised case and cleaning cloth. www.lgrworld.com JG

Purity of line, linear silhouettes, and elegant colours embody fashion collections by Vera Wang. The same principles she brings to her beautiful eyewear designs – frames that are modern, uncluttered, emphasising strong shapes in unique combinations of colours and textures. Rilynn is inspired by the luxurious wedding dresses for which Vera Wang is famed. She uses variations of white for stylish distinction in her wedding gowns; Rilynn is sculpted in lightweight acetate with chocolate contrasting tones. The graceful brow line and sides glitter softly, in a specially designed Italian material. www.kenmarkoptical.com JG
