New from Giorgio Armani for spring/summer

Style, classical spirit, artisan expertise and refined, avant-garde details Giorgio Armani's style speaks a universal and timeless language derived from a meticulousness that is never cold, but the outcome of a constant and untiring search for pure and natural lines. The result is unique, recognizable design that is renewed each time with the lightest of touches enhanced by the choice of refined colors and precious details. The rich collection includes models for all sensitivities: from the trendiest eyewear with embroidery and crystal decorations inspired by the evening dresses, to more classic and unisex models, to eyewear with retro shapes revisited and brought up to date. Minimalist shapes and surprising details for eyewear that will amaze thanks to outstanding leading-edge materials and precise craftsmanship.   Easy Chic   AR8002 Extremely feminine acetate eyewear with meticulous lines in pure Giorgio Armani style. The stylist's signature is engraved on a metal tag applied to the temple and recalls the design of the buttons on the collection's jackets. This model is a play of contrasting colors on the square front that is noticeably thicker at the outside corner and softer in the center, and on the generous proportions of the temples. Combinations range from passé-partout with a black front and Havana temples, to more decisive with a front in purple Havana and black temples. The lenses are shaded.   AR8016 A square, generous shape with a Fifties flavor makes this sun model unisex and elegantly classical. An original technical detail is the flex joint that allows the temple to bend at two points, a guarantee of perfect grip and fit. Color variations are opal sand, gray/blue, brown and veined gray.   AR7002 Eyewear with clean lines and a rounded front: a classical unisex model suitable for any age. The flex joint allows the temple to bend at two points, a guarantee of perfect fit and maximum comfort. In addition to the basic variations, the model is also available in veined gray, water green and transparent pink.   Kaleidoscope   Exclusive and luxurious, the eyewear in the Kaleidoscope series expresses the spirit of the Giorgio Armani apparel and accessories collection for spring/summer 2013. A collection that is essentially Armani in the choice of colors and the flowing simplicity of the shapes, but seen through a prism: a kaleidoscope that separates, refracts and illuminates. The eyewear recalls the subtle metal nuances and refined embroidery of the evening dresses.   AR6005BZ An aluminum-colored pilot in ultra-light metal with shaded lenses. The eyewear is enhanced by slender spoilers entirely handmade by skillful artisans and combined on one side with very soft, full grain leather and on the other with silk. The spoilers are completely covered in sequins and small crystals and the embroidery is inspired by the evening dresses seen on the runway. Two color variants for the spoiler: black with silver-colored sequins, or jade with a touch of turquoise and black and white crystals. This exclusive model will be available at Giorgio Armani boutiques and selected outlets from April 2013. It comes with elegant dedicated packaging.   AR7013B A slim vision model in acetate. The elegance and preciousness of the crystal decorations on the temples illuminate the eyewear to create the effect of a star-studded sky. The rhinestones faithfully repeat the embroidery and the midnight blue and jade colors of the evening dresses.
