Exclusively for women, DIOR unveils a sparkling, new collection of sunsunglasses and prescription sunglasses: maxi sized rectangular and rounded models in luscious hues offer plenty of cover, with details picking up on the main concepts featured in the accessories collections.
The logo remains the key element of the collection : it can be seen photoengraved in single letters or fully occupying the tenon of temples, engraved on trims for a chain effect, in openwork on two-colour acetate models and even on long tabs fully studded with diamante.
The collection also plays around with the letters of the logo, hence a sparkling star in Swarovski diamante or a sophisticated half-pearl pop up in place of the O, while tiny stars can also appear before or after the logo.
For models in Optyl, the colour palette is plumped up by transparent shades of red, khaki beige and sand, as well as black and dark grey, while acetate numbers sport original contrasting colours: black-pink, brown-gold, fuchsia-salmon, pink-white, black-white.
As for the prescription sunglasses collection, the focus is on temples, with the logo emblazoned in sparkling diamante, etched on oval tabs bearing the words "J'adore Dior", or combined with a heart pierced by an arrow in topaz, amethyst, green or aquamarine diamante. Some temple tips feature a serrated design or small openwork diamond patterns that pick up on the D-trick theme, while diamond shaped crystals or double rows of diamond cut diamante sparkle all the way along temples.
Another model with wow factor comes in acetate and flaunts a front completely studded with tiny diamante.
When you've been continually shaping (or re-shaping as the case may be) pop culture for over three decades, you'd think one would experience just a tad of burn out. Not Madonna. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has sold more than 300 million records worldwide and is recognized as the world's top-selling female recording artist of all time by the Guinness World Records. She does, however, seem to be passing on some of the "style" reigns to 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes (Lola), who co-designed their newest clothing line venture--Material Girl--which just launched a couple weeks ago at Macy's. The Junior's collection is a real throw-back to the 80's (of course) with a bit of an updated flair. And apparently Lola is a frequent "raider" of mum's closet. Can you imagine having an all-access pass to Madge's closet? Insane! Madonna rocks a pair of slammin' cat-eye Christian Dior shades which come in four chic frame hues. All hail to the queen of pop. --rpuccia
