Yves saint laurent – silmo 2006.
eyewear collection 2007. sophisticated and highly sought-after, the new yves saint laurent collection of sunglasses and frames brings together elements of the very latest men's and ladies' collections with timeless sources of inspiration to mirror the exquisitely refined personality of the french design house.
the ladies' sunglasses range represents a constant for sophistication and elegance. whether it's vintage or strictly contemporary, the styles are expansive and expressive. luxurious details such as the metallic motif are inspired by the vincennes bag or the engraved yves saint laurent plate attached to the legs. the colour ranges are highly sought-after and give the models that extra finish.
the sunglasses range for men stands out with its truly vintage-inspired details. the playful combination of materials, the use of the perforated bridge, the metal-framed lenses, and even the name of the designer engraved on the upper part of the bridge all combine to create a highly unique range that is instantly recognisable by the discreet logo by cassandre.
last but not least, the optical range is particularly innovative, with the use of details borrowed directly from the house's own collections and enhanced by the interplay of colour. the men's frames take up the retro-inspired theme of the sunglasses range, creating an unfussy, discreet yet essential look.
