Exclusively for women, DIOR unveils a sparkling, new collection of suneyeglasses and prescription eyeglasses: 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 eyeglasses 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.
Suffice it to say that Jenny from the Block has come a long way from the Bronx and the "Fly Girl" days. She's a triple-threat to be reckoned with having white hot success in the film, music and fashion arenas. She was even the first actress to have a movie (The Wedding Planner--2001) and a music album hit number one in the same week. It's no surpirse that she has topped People's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" and FHM's "100 Sexiest Women" lists. Talent, tireless work ethic, and savvy business sense aside, she is probably best known for her (ahem) pronounced posterior and her impeccable style in playing up her "assets." She is luminous, as ususal, in these swoon-worthy, ultra-glam Christian Dior sunglasses. These stunning shades are available in a whopping 10 colors--basic to brights. J.Lo's certainly not getting around NYC "On the 6" these days--where's the limo?
