Eyewear designer, manufacturer and distributor Safilo has unveiled Spring/Summer 2022 collections from the Carolina Herrera and Chiara Ferragni brands.
Carolina Herrera’s new collection is said to reflect the essence of the brand, “conveying a classic yet contemporary idea of femininity”.
Colourful and stylish frames are in acetate and metal, or a combination of both materials, and include squared, rectangular, butterfly and cat-eye shapes. Design details include pearls, enamel touches, shiny tags with the red monogram CH logo and a round 3-D monogram on temple tips.
Pearls features acetate and lightweight metal frames, with pearls on fronts as well as on temples and tips.
The range includes cat-eye styles in injected resin, with polished metal rims. The sunglasses have the Carolina Herrera logo on the temples and half-pearl on the temple tips and are available in black with smoke shaded lenses, havana with brown shaded lenses, opal nude with smoke shaded nude lenses and opal blue front with blue lenses.
The Polka Dots line introduces a polka-dots print in various sizes and colours on the metal wire cores of the frame temples. Hearts focuses on round frames in stainless steel with a heart shape cut-out on a slim metal sheet behind the lenses while Stripes offers striped pattern details on acetate front, metal rims and on temples.
Essential also uses stripes, either in the metal element on the thin temples or in bold colour contrasts.
Its butterfly-styled sunglasses are in acetate with stripes on the temples, embellished by an enamel detail and the monogram CH logo. Temple tips have a red monogram CH logo and the sunglasses are available in a range of coordinated colours and lenses.
Chiara Ferragni
Spring/Summer 2022 marks the first eyewear collection from Chiara Ferragni. According to the brand, the range targets “contemporary and dynamic” young women and reflects Chiara Ferragni’s “fashion yet pop essence”.
Bold plastic styles are presented in stand-out fluorescent colours, many finished with glitter. Design features include the eye-like motif on frames, ‘logomania’ patterned lenses and the brand’s hallmark star. The collection introduces two product stories: Chiara’s Fashion and Chiara’s Essential.
Chiara’s Fashion was designed for “real trend-setters and audacious fashionistas”. The range includes L.A. Eye with oval-shaped sunglasses in cellulose proprionate, available in seven colours all paired with grey lenses.
Chiara’s Fashion also includes cat-eye and rectangular shaped frames.
Chiara’s Essential styles are described as “easy-to-wear and stylish”, in colourful glitters and ‘flou’ colours and more subtle transparent acetates, which are highlighted with lenses enriched with eye-like logomania graphics.
Chiara’s Essential Glam Eye offers a “feminine interpretation of the timeless aviator shape” in stainless steel in pop and glittery colours. Colours include gold, fluo azure, fluo yellow and fluo pink, with contrasting tips and dark grey, rose gold mirror or grey lenses. One frame features the logomania pattern on the lenses.
Chiara’s Essential also features round and rectangular-shaped frames in a range of colours.
The Carolina Herrera and Chiara Ferragni collections include optical frames.
