Balmain’s boy wonder Olivier Rousteing gives us a new Wonder Boy

Balmain’s boy wonder Olivier Rousteing gives us a new Wonder Boy

A few weeks ago during Paris Fashion Week, Paris was even more about fashion than normal. Among the designers showing their new collections was Olivier Rousteing for Balmain. He gave us clothes, but also a sneak preview of some new Balmain eyewear....

Wonder Boy III in Gold

It’s worthwhile to keep a close eye on the shows during Paris Fashion Week if you like to stay updated on what is happening in the world of fashion, but also in the world of eyewear. Often, designers take the opportunity of showing their new fashion collections to also show the world what they have in store for us regarding eyewear. Take the Balmain show. To finish of the looks of some of the models, Rousteing gave them the newest edition of probably his most famous pair of sunglasses to wear, namely the Wonder Boy III. 

Following two earlier Wonder Boy editions, this third version of the iconic shield frames is of course also made in the typical Balmain color combination of black and gold. A small visor made from titanium sticks out giving this frame a very powerful silhouette. The shields on the temples are covered in the historic Balmain labyrinth motif. Unmistakably a Wonder Boy.

Besides this iconic pair of sunglasses, a sneak preview of the new Balmain eyewear collection shows some beautiful rounded frames in black, blue and brown and a rectangular one in a soft off-white. Of course, all frames have the complex detailing in gold and metal that is so typical for Balmain.

New showroom alert: Carrera

New showroom alert: Carrera

When you name your eyewear brand after one of the world’s most dangerous car races, the Carrera Panamericana, it’s clear for all that your love for car racing runs deep. But it’s not just sports that influence Carrera. Fashion plays just as big a part...

Carrera was founded in the mid 1950s in Austria. It was then that its founder Wilhelm Anger decided to rename his already existing company ‘Wilhelm Anger Werker’ into Carrera. With this new name the focus of Carrera became similar to the one in sports: pushing boundaries. And that is exactly what this eyewear brand does up to this day.

Combining a passion for design with a passion for innovation, Carrera ended up giving the world some iconic designs. Together with Porsche Design for instance, Carrera was responsible for the first pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses. They were also the first to put their logo in the middle of the front part of the frame. Their aviator styles are unique and are the perfect illustration of what happens when you combine sports with fashion. They do it successfully, proven by all those fashion lovers confidently sporting Carrera frames.

 At NanaWoody&John, we recently added the Carrera showroom to our ever-expanding collection of brands. Have a look and discover the latest collection of glasses and sunglasses by Carrera.

Are you team Bold or team Understated? Either way, Victoria Beckham gives you what you are looking for with the new collection of optical glasses and sunglasses. In true VB style. So lots of big frames, gradient lenses, and subtle but luxurious details.

Victoria Beckham eyewear has never been afraid of going oversized, and this new season it’s no different. It doesn’t really matter what style – navigator, cat-eye, or flat top. The frames are rarely tiny.

For sunglasses, you can choose an updated take on the Victoria Beckham metal navigators, the statement Flat Top V in some new subtle colors or you can go for this season’s statement design: a bold pair of sunglasses in black, thick acetate. But remember: whatever you choose, you can be sure you will always look sophisticated and glamorous.
