ITALY. Luxottica has launched the new 2006/2007 collections for the Italian fashion houses D&G and Prada.
The D&G models are said to combine quality materials with originality of line and details inspired by D&€™s “anti-conventional creativity”.
The Prada collection aims to unite the a person’s active side and leisure side, said the company. Details inspired by the world of sport are incorporated into everyday eyewear.
D&G 2006/2007 collection
The women’s models flaunt big shapes and wraparound masks in plastic or metal, equally suitable for wear in town or on the ski slope. Men’s models offer pilot-style metal frames as well as versions in plastic, for a sportier look.
The D&G logo has had a stylistic makeover with italic lettering. Decorative touches inspired by the themes of the D&G clothing collections enhance the eyewear.
D&G 8021B – Women: The plastic mask is described as a high-impact, face-hugging shape is personalised by metal arms decorated with the D&G logo in rhinestone-highlighted italic lettering. The colour palette spans black, white, pale and dark brown as well as bright red and purple.
D&G 8015 – Men: This plastic model with a flat front features a laser-engraved anchor decoration on the forward part of the nose, reflecting the D&G Autumn/Winter 2006/2007 collection inspired by the ships that ply the northern seas. An inset D&G logo is located on the arms. Colours range from black and brown, complemented by shades inspired by the world of ships: navy blue, white and red.
D&G 6023 – Men: The mask features a double profile on the rings, creating a decorative element that continues onto the nose zone to form a double bridge. The lenses curve slightly in a style that recalls a smaller version of the pilot format, but with flaring in the upper corners. Slim metal arms bear an italic D&G logo. The galvanic-finish lug is in a contrast colour that sets it off against the frame. Available in black, gunmetal, navy blue, white, brown, silver, bronze and red.
D&G 8018 – Women: A women’s model inspired by the 1970s. The face-hugging shape and broad styling are rounded softly at the corners, giving a sporty look with a hint of glamour, according to Luxottica. The arms are personalised by an italic D&G logo with silver or gold metal trim. Colours feature black, white, brown, wine, pink and mustard.
D&G 3009 – Women/Men: A plastic model with wrap-around lines specially designed for young wearers. The key feature is personalisation with the D&G logo, which continues over the entire arm to give a sporty look.
Overlaid plastic strips in different colours – black on white, black on red, brown on blue, pink and green – bring out the contrast, allowing the logo to stand out and giving this model its unisex appeal.
