Circular sunglasses owned the spring’13 Runway and with celebs such as Daniel Craig and Solange Knowles also working them, this is a trend not to be ignored. Ray-ban offers us a stylish twist on the classic aviator style. These retro-style sunglasses will add a 90s touch to any look. A round eye shape looks great for a defined jaw, square chin, and a broad forehead.
When John Lennon made wore circular specs back in the Sixties and Seventies, he could hardly have pictured today’s celebrities making the look their own. Kate moss is a big fan of this frame proving the look has truly gained a foothold in the fashion industry. We love this Grunge look!
The designer of Celine ‘Phoebe Philo’ serves up a modern stripped back look that revels in retro detail and an alluring luxuriance. The CL41755 is heavily retro with its clever proportions which give a glamorous yet edgy feel. Celine are attracting some serious attention from the fashion press and with super model Lara Stone flaunting them we feel this frame is a striking look that every fashion forward lady wants a piece of.
Celine have hit the nail on the head with a neutral colour palette suiting all skin tones making them a real investment for a timeless frame with ultimate longevity. Michael Kors the original creative director of the brand set a standard of elegance and classic looks.
Now with Phoebe Philo in charge she believes that simplicity is key. Having desirable staples that can be mixed and matched is an important essential in any woman’s wardrobe and this idea is mirrored by Celine’s luxury sunglasses.

Combining elements of film, sport, fashion, and art in each eyewear frame Oliver Peoples enjoy a large celebrity consumer base who can blame them? This frame screams Hollywood!

Since they first came to market in 1985, you couldn’t go a whole summer without catching a glimpse of some Oakley Frogskins. The frame is a faithful recreation of the iconic Oakley Frogskin which were extremely popular in the 80’s.
The Frogskins collection has been lovingly recreated right down to the keyhole nose bridge at the centre of the frame; they have also been bolstered by the very latest in Oakley’s sports technology, which makes them an ideal choice for creating a classic yet contemporary look. A vintage logo and the coloured lenses add to the distinction of this frame. Due to major popularity Frogskins are now sought after collector’s pieces which means once their gone, getting hold of one of these frames is near impossible.
The latest eyewear from Gucci, an eight piece capsule range called Diamond Glitter. Not only are the frames ultra light and the shapes right on trend, each pair is made with a piece of sparkling silk trapped inside so that it glitters.
The iconic motif is tied to Gucci’s history and dates back to the 1930s, when it was first used on luggage. The distinctive crisscross pattern, which features small connecting diamonds in shades of dark brown on a beige background, became the Florentine House’s first signature print. Add a bit of glamour to your summer with these sparkly must haves!
Sunglass design was changed forever when Ray-Ban created the Original Wayfarer in 1952. With The distinctive shape paired with the trademark signature logo ray-ban were on to a winner. Wayfarers have been describes as one of the best selling style of the history of glasses. Since then the frame style has become the most sort after trend year after year offering us a cool, edgy look for the summer.
A wayfarer sunglass completes any outfit and it’s never outdated. With celebrities such as Harry Styles loving this retro look we can’t deny the Ray-ban 2140 is definitely one of the hottest frames this summer.
This summer we’ve all been wearing flowers in our hair. Why stop there? Prada’s Spring/Summer Eye-wear Collection “Prada Poeme” for Women combines simplicity and class. The PR29PS model features Japanese flowers on the inside of the frame. A translation of traditional femininity: an easement of a Geisha. The clear-cut lines of these frames reflect a strong yet feminine personality. Materials and thicknesses become more noticeable, without excesses.
Prada inevitably dictates the trends season and once again they have got it spot on. With the PR29Ps being one of the summers most popular frames it seems Prada can do no wrong.
Ray-ban were the original creators of the aviator .The design of the iconic tear-drop frames was to mimic the shape of pilot goggles and cover entire range of the human eye .
When Tom Cruise starred as ‘Maverick’ in the classic Top gun in 1986 Ray-ban increased popularity. Throughout the decades they have remained the hottest aviator’s available. With the likes of A-list celebrity Rita Ora working these frames, we can’t see them going out of fashion any time soon.
