Silmo Preview: Gigi Studios’ VANGUARD

Bold, contemporary designs characterise the Vanguard collection, a collection by the Spanish fashion eyewear brand from Barcelona

Gigi Studios is previewing new models in its sun and optical collections, including the popular Vanguard range which fuses sophistication and “a fashion-forward attitude”. The new additions in the Vanguard Optical and Sunglass collections have strong architectural shapes and feature a range of unique gradient acetates, crafted after numerous trials –  to achieve the ideal shades. Above: unisex model Lumi has an aviator inspired shape, and features in Gigi Studios’ new campaign called “Good Luck”

Models Anja and Rosalia in the Vanguard collection have an earthy and ochre-infused colour palette to capture the essence of the Autumn/Winter season, with subtle highlights to enhance the designs. Among the sun models are gradient effects which have been meticulously developed in vertical and horizontal lines to achieve the collection’s feminine and vanguardist aesthetic.
