In the Spring / Summer 2024 collection by the Italian label, highlights include the glamorous models in the Sculptures Collection with its new coloured Havanas and elegant bilayer materials combined with classical tones – inspired by the light effects at twilight
Previewed at Mido in February, the Italian label has introduced three new sunglass models to their Sculpture family: Moonlight, Rainbow, and Nightfall. These models stay true to the Sculptures family’s distinctive style, featuring prominently faceted fronts that accentuate the bilayer materials. Each model has been uniquely designed to capture the essence of artificial neon landscapes, displaying colour combinations inspired by “the stunning interplay of light and reflections seen during twilight transitions”.Above: Moonlight by RES/REI in the Sculptures Collection – pictured in green Havana with a contrasting reddish Havana – the frame also comes in a delicate gradient pink, brown tortoise and black marble
The Moonlight sunglasses embody the soft hues of night turning into day, while model Rainbow is imagined as a reflection of the spectrum of light just as the sun rises or sets. Model Nightfall captures the deep, mysterious tones of day surrendering to night, the designers explained.
The bold sculpted feel of the frames has been achieved by enhancing the three-dimensionality of the acetate on the front and back of the frame. By using this process, the layering of the different patterns in the acetate is immediately eye-catching.
