Thanks to Cutler and Gross for sending over these images to us. I absolutely LOVE these shades, designed by Nicholas Kirkwood for Pollini. This is the “Sophia” frame, inspired by the screen Goddess, Sophia Loren. They certainly capture her glamour and style, as well as being bang on trend with their vintage 60′s feeling, cats-eye silhouette. Aside from discovering these sunnies, I also discovered that Kirkwood has been Creative Director of Italian footwear and accessories label, Pollini, since 2010. I did not know that.
The “Sophia”, as well as the other styles Kirkwood has designed for the Pollini collection, have all been lovingly crafted by Cutler and Gross from handmade Italian acetate featuring lasered eyelashes so you can skip the falsies. These Spring Summer 2013 eyewear styles are available now in all Pollini boutiques and will be online at www.pollini.com from early June.
