According to the Safilo Group design, this season eyewear is in a moment of evolution, taking glasses beyond mere sports functionality to become stylish accessories for active lifestyles and outdoor activities. The trend is clearly visible across several brands with clear examples including the latest looks from Carrera’s relaunched C-Sport line, along with Under Armour and Hugo eyewear collections.
Oversized and bold designs, key elements for the season, are seen in Carrera and Eyewear by David Beckham. Details reflect striking, architectural designs with faceted volumes, achieving lightness through innovative construction and ultralight materials. Carrera continues to showcase mask-style eyewear, hitting the trend in its signature style.
Other key trends featured from Safilo Group this season include large prominent logos, and maximum lightness with the use of metal and jewelry-inspired details/embellishments. Perhaps most notably, this is seen in the inaugural collection of Stuart Weitzman sunglasses. The range of two-tone frames includes metal details while the Ultrastuart pieces feature crystal embellishments. Always on trend, the Marc Jacobs collection embraces bold details, daring shapes and oversized “The Sunglasses” and “The Glasses” lines to capture the brand’s signature unexpected and irreverent spirit.
