D&G
The D&G Spring/Summer 2011 collection offers timeless, ‘must have’ styles with a contemporary twist. The collection sees unique shapes combined with a mix of metal and acetate, and colour layering techniques providing fresh and innovative looks for the upcoming season. Highlight pieces include floral optical frames (DD1213) and oversized 70’s frames (DD8087)

Dolce & Gabbana
The floral pattern is the main theme presented in the Dolce&Gabbana Spring Summer 2011 eyewear collection. The models vary from 1970s inspired oversized frames, to butterfly shaped or unisex aviator frames.

The colour palette includes a wide range of colours including black, havana, and smoked grey. It also includes bolder colours such as red, yellow, purple and blue.

Persol
The Persol collection is characterized by new themes that bridge the gap between past and future. In line with the latest trends, the range recalls the classic 50’s style with slightly cat’s eyes shapes and vintage colour tones.

Prada
A strong identity and character lie at the heart of Prada’s new Men’s and Women’s eyewear collections. The range plays on several silhouettes ranging from rounded to cat’s eye, to squared; and offers a timeless and sophisticated addition to the Summer wardrobe.

Ray-Ban
For the Summer 11/12 collection, Ray-Ban focuses on a series on ranges including Ray-Ban Light Ray and Ray-Ban Icons. Ray-Ban Light Ray is a new sun and prescription eyewear collection within the Ray-Ban Tech segment and is the epitome of cutting-edge technology with a keen eye on aesthetic. The brand restates itself by renewing its Ray-Ban Icons (Aviator, Wayfarer, Signet and Vagabond) with new lenses featuring amazing structural innovation, appeal and extraordinary colours never seen before.

Versace
The new Versace eyewear collection presents innovative concepts both in design and combination of materials. The must-haves for A/W 2011-12, all characterized by their vintage appeal, are presented in a broad colour range: from the red, blue, violet and Havana tones, to classic black, white and sand.

Vogue
The new Vogue collection boasts a retro elegance and is inspired by the captivating lines of the 1980s. Elegant, stylish and always timeless, Vogue eyewear embodies the spirit of playful adventure perfectly this Summer.
