Floral sunglasses for Spring/Summer
1st May 2011 Florals are so much in fashion, and I’ve been looking for sunglasses that work with this trend. Nicole Farhi’s Jackie Poppy Print Sunglasses, an oversized round shape, are a wonderful choice (see picture above and below). They are retailing at £90.00 and can be purchased direct from the website. The style has appeared in all the fashion pages in the last weeks and are probably close to selling out as they combine a flattering shape with the sensuous colouring of the lavish poppy fabric ( www.nicolefarhi.com).
I have also fallen for the Shell sunglasses below by Francis Klein (www.francisklein.com), a French brand which is producing quite a few floral themed products, including optical frames…all of which you can browse through on their very enjoyable website.
Some of them have little enamelled flowers decorating the printed acetate, they are very chic indeed.
Other florals that I have found in eyewear are the new styles in the Dolce & Gabbana collection, including the DG 4111 M, which has flowers on the arms, contrasting with a single colour front such as this punchy red.
There is also the popular collection produced in Italy by RetroSuperFuture for the London fashion store Liberty, featuring the store’s famous Liberty prints. Having looked at the models yesterday in the shop, I am really impressed – the price tag at £120/£130 offers a sturdy vintage design and lovely details such as the colourful fabric and the high-quality Zeiss UV protective lenses, not to mention the very pretty matching packaging.
