Gabrielle Chanel made two-tone a signature element of her allure. Today it drives the Summer 2024 Eyewear collecon. Colour combinaons in classic or pop, gentle or contrasng hues illuminate four pairs of sunglasses: a large square, a high buterfly, a revised cat eye and a sophiscated shield. In a nod to Mademoiselle’s famous adage that for each of her creaons, the inside must be as beauful as the outside, these black frames are enrely trimmed in a colour that is also found on the back, itself matching the double C that marks their wide temples.
These lightweight frames, made from nylon fibre, are fited with mineral lenses, ensuring a beter visual acuity than tradional lenses.
Two-tone also features on a pair of sunglasses and a frame with Blue Light lenses. The front contrasts with brightly coloured temples which are enhanced with a double C lacquered in inverted tones.
The oval-shaped sunglasses frame combines burgundy and raspberry, while the version with Blue Light lens marries black with pink.
As the common theme of this eyewear collecon, the interplay of colours animates another pair of sunglasses. The leters of CHANEL appear on the temples of a buterfly frame that combines acetate with metal. Worked in all its facets, colour also slips into the photochromic lenses, which darken in a mater of seconds from pink to mauve grey or from champagne to dark brown when exposed to UV light, and lighten just as quickly in the shade.
An elegant and precious aviator frame completes this line, as 72 cubic zirconia diamonds are set by hand to compose the word CHANEL along the temples. Employing veritable jewellery-making experse, each diamond is set one by one, in a nod to the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel, who loved to mix precious stones with costume jewellery.
The CHANEL Summer 2024 eyewear collecon will be available from March.
