Luxury Eyewear

These stunning pieces of eyewear and sunwear are for those with discriminating tastes and an appreciation of superb details and unmistakable splendor. Luxury eyewear spotlights fluid visuals of sculptures and structural design to make gorgeously fine-looking frames. 

Revolution Eyewear

The new True Religion couture line takes aim at the hippie, bohemian-chic-flare, with a vintage-feel-vibe that their jeans emit while boasting the use of the industry's highest standard for frame materials. Pictured on top is the “Cheyene” in Blonde with a G-15 lens, which is a ladies full frame zyl that features a textured inlay on the temple and the endpiece. On the bottom is the “Georgi” in Olive with a G-15 lens, which is a ladies full frame made of zyl. www.revolutioneyewear.com

BBH Eyewear


The new SUN sunglasses collection from BOGNER Eyes 2010 engenders much enthusiasm with its wide variety of designs. The collection plays with elegant shapes and stylish elements, as top quality acetate combined with progressive tinted sun lenses – this season’s insider tip for women. These glasses flatter any woman’s face and are light enough not to have to be taken off indoors. www.bbheyewear.com

Silhouette


The Silhouette Leatherdrops’ artfully designed ornamental elements are masterpieces that nearly make us forget it is actually eyewear. The temple’s soft leather is shaped like a drop and gives the rimless eyewear its name. An open buckle holds the lenses – available in a variety of shapes - and these, in combination with the soft, embossed leather, really make Silhouette Leatherdrops the most beautiful piece of jewelry for the face. www.silhouette.com

Ottica Veneta


Inspired by Venice, the Sospiri collection is Ottica Veneta's signature line expressing the ultimate in Italian luxury. Through a rich combination of elegance and innovation, Sospiri frames are defined by their superior use of Austrian crystals and unique artistic embellishments. Metals, acetates, ophthalmics and sunglasses, Sospiri is truly breathtaking. www.otticaveneta.com

Robi Horn by Robert Marc

The semi-rimless Robi Horn style 5006 is a clean, minimalist titanium frame available with hand-laminated horn temples, where layers of horn in contrasting colors are overlaid to create an even, horizontal stripe pattern. This unique use of horn is a playful alternative to the striation that occurs naturally in horn. The semi-rimless styles are available in Gray, Brown and Black. www.robertmarc.com

Gripping Eyewear

Luxury, elegance, and sophistication from fashion icon Paris Hilton seen here in classic oversized white/crystal sunglass with a quilted temple design. A charming Paris "signature": the heart shaped magnetic icon embedded in the temples of this sensational sun. Distinctly feminine, the blue/pink lenses reflect the Paris Hilton Sunglass Collection's fabulous, fashion forward sense of style. www.grippingeyewear.com

Boucheron

Dedicated to Ava Garner, the Ava line from Boucheron Paris dedicates the free and independent personality of the actress in frames with light features and hanging geometry, creating an amazing effect. It is the interior piece of polished wood, held only by two tiny fastening points, which seem to give the frame subtlety and grace, to transport it to the clouds. www.boucheron.com

Jee Vice

The Moody frame is a perfect head-turning accessory for the strong woman who goes from one extreme to the next. Its edgy shape is sharp but the upward angle of the frames is amazingly complimentary to a woman’s soft features. In addition, the frames are made with TR90 technology—a unique grillamid blend that ensures your shades can stand the heat without getting bent out of shape. www.jeevice.com

Morel

KOALI pays tribute to this poetic plant species called Ivy. The concept is based around three shafts colored separately then interlaced up to the end-piece to form ornamental and sophisticated temples. The interlacing extends on to the front, giving perfect harmony to the frames. The visual perfection can be found on all models; what’s more, the acetate models are milled right up to the rims to increase this harmonious feel. www.morel-france.com

Silver Dagger


Silver Dagger is an emerging leader in the eyewear industry, and produces premium sunglasses and ophthalmic frames, like the PERGE C1 shown here. The company employs an unconventional approach to its designs, incorporating polished metal icons, leather temples and top quality lenses. This collection is known for its deliberate edginess and clean crafted frames. www.silver-dagger.com

Ultrapalm

Hand-crafted by Italian artisans, CAVIAR'S Champagne Series bubbles over with excitement. Ornate, often fanciful, end-piece designs embellish larger-than-usual fronts to make this series the "toast of the town". The Caviar Champagne series 6321 is set with a delicate crystal floral pattern - this ladies metal rimless sunglass is a work of art. www.ultrapalm.com

Grant Italia

The Alviero Martini 1A Classe Point of View collection is handmade with leather detailing by Sover, srl Italy and is distributed in U.S.A. and Canada by GRANT, Italia-USA exclusively. Throughout the ophthalmic and sunglass collection you will see the map motif that you find on their handmade bags and luggage that Alviero Martini 1A Classe is famous for in Italy and which are collected by travelers from around the world. www.grantitalia.com

Oliver Peoples

SACHA is a feminine sunglass handcrafted of lightweight metal, featuring elegant pearl cloisonné along the top bar and temple. Tonal gradient lens colors compliment skin tones and matching colored temple tips provide a polished, decorative look. Additionally, the frame includes silicone nose pads for exceptional comfort and fit. www.oliverpeoples.com

Baumvision

Bye Bye Blues from Paul Frank is a midsized rectangular shape with cut out facade and prismatic detailing around the end pieces. Stunning in color with multidimensional concepts, it creates energy, good symmetry and a perfect fit. www.baumvision.com

 Ronit Furst

Passion, creation and elegant designs with amazing attention to detail, this hand painted collection is as unique as each person who wants their eyewear to be distinguished and memorable. www.ronitfurst-usa.com

Modo

The new Saki embraces the finest materials and richest level of detailing with the goal of providing the ultimate sophistication in eyewear to a selected bunch of affluent, educated and discerning individuals. This new inspiration originates from Art-Nouveau decorative motives, applied to the frame through metal inserts and engravings. Artisan elements include signature weave details, and unique titanium inlays. www.modobiz.com

Luxury eyewear is symbolized by unconventional sensuality and cutting-edge design. Frame manufacturers painstakingly provide additional details, materials and exquisiteness. This is one of many reasons why frames are loved by people with distinctive tastes. Give them a choice that will turn people’s heads!
