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.

You can watch the Balmain fashion show below to see the Wonder Boy III in action and if you’re interested in more Balmain eyewear, there is as always a whole showroom for you to check out.



The new sunglasses from Silhouette

The new sunglasses from Silhouette

For this new series of rimless sunglasses from the SUN Collection 2023, the designers of Silhouette were inspired by the beautiful beaches and idyllic villages in and around Barcelona in Spain.

If you know Calella, Cadaqués, Begur or Bogatell and have been there before, reading this story will undoubtedly make you want to pack your bags and go there to enjoy the beach, sea, sun, terraces and that wonderful Mediterranean atmosphere.

The, as always with these eyeglass makers, subtle designs with this time large oversized lenses in seventies style give every outfit a little extra glamour and at the same time protect the eyes against harmful sun rays and intrusive paparazzi.

To see how these sunglasses and many other models from top brands look, just follow us on Facebook or Instagram where we show daily how well-chosen glasses and sunglasses can make the difference with every outfit!

MaxMara

The Italian eyewear manufacturer Marcolin, with a portfolio of leading brands, follows the shows closely and shows on Instagram a few images of each show and the (sun) glasses that the designer uses to express his or her vision of the upcoming sunglasses trend. Like every show, this produces beautiful pictures of top brands such as MaxMara, Tod's, GCDS and, for example, Bally and gives you an idea of where (sun) eyewear fashion is heading.

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Making visually beautiful things is a challenge for every designer in every industry and certainly also in the optical field, but of course functional innovations are maybe even more interesting and important.

Functionality is not always beautiful and that is why functional adjustments are often hidden and made invisible. At Porsche Design, they think differently. The statement with their latest glasses design is therefore:

"In most designs, the function remains hidden.
But we don’t want to hide something UNIQUE."

Because the new hinges in the most exclusive Porsche Design frame to date are not only a functional improvement, but also very beautiful and should therefore be seen. Porsche Design ambassador Patrick Dempsey wears this new luxury frame with style and proves once again that a beautiful and well-chosen frame can really be an eye-catcher and the finishing touch to any outfit.
