This season’s shades are out of this world

as designers take an interstellar approach

CRAF T

Eyewear designers have set their sights firmly on the

future, with shades fitting for both summer lounging

or more intergalactic sojourns. Look to Bottega Veneta

or eyewear specialists Lindberg for graphic free-floating

lenses with industrial hardware fixtures. For those

preferring transparency, Dolce & Gabbana favours

clear acetate frames, while a collaboration between

Silhouette and Perret Schaad has resulted in styles

with slivers of space between lens and frame. Prada’s

cat’s-eye styles appear to protect against futuristic

laser beams, and Chanel and Gucci’s colourful lenses

have the hues of a hazy dystopian cityscape, but it’s

not just frames that are getting futuristic. Setting

a clear vision for its retail future, Chanel’s latest service

allows customers to reserve their most sought-after

optical styles online before trying them on in-store.

How’s that for facial recognition?
