Frankie Morello, vision collection 2007

It is a party atmosphere, out-of-hours, carefree, vibrant, young, where provocations are allowed as long as they amuse.

Rhinestones, small studs and sparkling colors are the features of the new collection that Frankie Morello uses to have fun with the skill of a stylish designer and the intuition of an enfant terrible, as cutting and sophisticated as ever.

The 'now you see it, now you don't' effect, patterns of transparencies and alternating colors enhance the malice of the most classical shapes in the vision models. The composure is only apparent.

Rows of rhinestones fill the whole length of the acetate stems. While those in metal separate and frame the FM initials, in italics, dotted with the same color as the front piece: sparkling black, red, acid green.
When the upper part of the front piece conforms to the dark color of the stems, the lower part of the lenses completely breaks away becoming milky, crystalline or sparkling red.
Simple, traditional shapes, which end up revealing a bright and ironic spirit.

Establishing the limit and then cross it.
Exploring ambiguity, playing with excess. Merging the boundaries between objects to achieve new inspirations. A free mix of elements is the guide line for the collection.

Provocative, but only for fun the sunglasses models have large, drop-shaped or square lenses: this eyewear wants us to be the center of attention. Completely in metal and injected with a bas-relief logo.
Precious colors and details. Sparkling palladium, bronze and ruthenium color the stems, small, pyramid-shaped stones or small metal balls dot the upper edge of the front piece.
It is an irresistible mix. But it is seduction not to be taken too seriously.
