Valentino Spring/Summer 2012: True Haute Couture
Vintage shapes, distinctive silhouettes, and striking contrasts characterize the Valentino Eyewear S/S 2012 collection, distributed by MarchonCanada. The line features iconic elements of Valentino style interpreted by creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli: lace, precise yet feminine lines, and studs. Lace subtly appears on transparent acetate, shadow-like with a hint of colour. Metal studs and inserts accent the shape of the lens. The striking, famed Valentino “V” becomes a functional element or distinctive detail. Frames are oversized, with curvy silhouettes or sharp architectural shapes. A sublime expression of design and craftsmanship, the collection offers endless possibilities.
Design and decoration are uniquely combined in the quintessentially feminine V611S vintage-style model. that is the quintessence of femininity. Lace is hidden on the bridge and temples, shadow-like, creating saturated yet delicate colour. This sunwear is available in grey, brown, and burgundy.
Tiny lustrous studs are rhythmically arranged along the top of the V606S frame to accent this oversized square model. The iconic “V” on the temple is a functional hinge that is also accompanied by the logo.
