Missioni Eyewear: pop hymn to joy

Lenses transformed into power generators. The natural light of the transparent materials that takes shape and sets a visual table of varied tastes.

From item to item, accessory to accessory, and with a tradition that approaches the most essential innovation with impetus, Missoni bonds its eyewear, produced and distributed by Allison, to its history. And it does so with an amazing skein of joy also in the penicillin greens, the blacks and the mirror blues.

It does it with colour patterns captured from transparent acetate, as if Missoni's vitality insisted that the plastic materials juggle the yarns of the fabrics.

An effect of eyewear made to be worn by women with a contagious smile. Women who accept the brand new silk-screened acetates, the cuts that highlight triads of nuances, and the oranges that provoke the turquoises. The yellows that wink at the pinks. Red that loses its predominance and cunningly fools around with apple green.

Two colours, three colours up to the Multicolor that is Pop par excellence, an offspring of the 1960s and of Andy Warhol, but close to Dan Flavin's aloofness of the 1990s.

Big lenses for the sun, for women, but also for men who prefer technical combinations of injected materials and rubber without losing the whimsical urge to change the coloured endpieces, depending on mood, yearnings, and their desire to remain eternal chameleons.

And in this festive jubilation, the temples also take centre stage. Forms, thicknesses, lengths, dimensions like an authentic pyrotechnical display, until reaching the name Missoni, that's broken down into letters like a Neon sign between the eye and the ear.
