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.
Pennsylvania native Sharon Stone won a beauty pageant in 1977 and following one of the judges' advice, dropped out of college to head to New York City to pursue modeling. That judge musta had quite an eye because Sharon was signed by Ford Modeling Agency within 4 days of her arrival. After spending a few years in the modeling biz, she decided to pursue acting and took on a few bit parts on both the big and small screens. Her career flew off the handle, though, thanks to her role in the 1990 film Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Now in her fifties and the mother of three adopted children, Sharon lives in Beverly Hills, California—no wonder she wears such stylish shades. These Christian Dior sunglasses are incredibly flattering and available in four color combos.
