Versace takes inspiration from Alice in Wonderland for its new collection

The new sunglasses reinterpret Versace’s corporate baroque style in a design that has already appeared in the spring/summer 2010 apparel and accessories collections for women and is inspired by the extraordinary adventures of Alice in Wonderland.

The fairytale world of Alice expresses the freedom to mix colors and materials and discover a situation where the imagination explodes in a mega-mix of lines in a dizzily alternating and overlapping blend of optical effects and lively micro-patterns.

Medusa, the fashion house’s unmistakable symbol, is an elegant bass-relief applied to the temples.

The designs on the acetate frames are in decisive colors (fluo tangerine, fluo yellow and lilac), combined with more classic hues (black, tortoise). Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, the designs on the front piece and temples are strongly in contrast, with black on a tangerine or fluo yellow background. And vice-versa.
