Dazzle yourself with Fendi’s Autumn/Winter eyewear range.

Despite the fact that Autumn and Winter are seasons associated with grey skies, drizzly rain and ever-present clouds doesn’t mean that your sunglasses should be put back in the draw to gather dust. Cue Fendi’s new Autumn/Winter 2016-17 “HypnoShine” eyewear collection, with multiple styles in endless colour choices, tampo-printed stripes, matt effects and a multitude of metals.

The retro-futuristic styles took inspiration from the house’s famous creativity and femininity, with the colours being taken from their beautiful Autumn/Winter catwalk show. Each piece has been created as if it were an artwork (which it basically is, just one you can wear). Think burgundy metals with burgundy and amber lenses and green metals with green shaded lenses and cerulean blue/green stripes, and you’re starting to get the idea of the range of colours these sunglasses and optics come in. Whatever your favourite colour is, Fendi’s got you covered.

Fendi have treated us to three styles in this collection – the LEI models, the BE YOU range and the EYELINE sunglasses. There’s a little something for everyone. All the styles are both fluid and graphic, with their shapes demonstrating Fendi’s liveliness and creativity. LEI is super-flat, super-slim and super sophisticated (the designers took inspiration from origami techniques), with both cat-eye and square models. The EYELINE model is pure geometry with its slim steel frames, and BE YOU’s transparent and vivid hues are extra flat and come both in squared and round styles with a mix of materials including Optyl and metal. Oh, and they all come is optical lens choices too. Fendi, you really are spoiling us.
