Luxottica Eyewear for Spring 2011

After a whirlwind tour of the Luxottica Eyewear Group’s spring preview, we’re really looking forward to some bright, sunny days to show off these snazzy specs. We chose to highlight some of our faves, from best celeb collaboration to the must-haves.

Best New-found Minimalism – Versace

Never demure, never tame, Versace seems to have turned the volume down a notch on their eyewear, and we must say, we like it. While the Medusa head is still in full effect on the temples, the logo is a bit smaller than usual and fits right in with the muted tone of the oversize shades and the understated cat-eye. Perhaps to compliment their head turning looks, we are sure!

Most Stylish Outdoor Activity Shades- Prada

Why wait for the beach when you can hit the slopes in style? With their durable and athletic wire framing, Prada is perfect for when you want to combine luxury and sports. The flexible arms bend to accommodate impact, so throw them in the pocket of your ski jacket and go.

Best Union of Eyewear and Jewelry – Tiffany & Co.

By adorning the arms of their eyewear with jewelry designs like the Keys and Signature, the Tiffany & Co. collection feels like so much more than an accessory. The shapes are classic, but these sunglasses are in a league of their own.

The Staple Shades- Ray-Ban

From the classic aviators to the modern take on the wayfarer, Ray-Bans are truly icons. No sunglass collection would be complete without a pair, and with all the options – from rimless to geek chic – you could have one for every day of the week.

Best Celeb Collaboration – Madonna for Dolce & Gabbana

Designed to be occasion-specific, Madonna’s second collection with Dolce & Gabbana is destined to be the must-have choice for It girls. From the materials to the styles, the element of glamour and luxury is unmistakable, just the kind of thing an It (or Material) girl wants.
