ALEXANDER McQUEEN - 2013 EYEWEAR COLLECTION

Alexander McQueen launches its latest range of sunglasses and optical frames.
The 2013 eyewear collection features the house’s iconic signature details such as the three dimensional metal skull and the studs. The collection also includes new styles inspired by the brand’s new Heroine bag.
The range has a contemporary, sophisticated style and showcases advanced manufacturing techniques, exclusives materials and unique colourways.

Sunglasses:

Mod. AMQ 4215/S and mod. AMQ 4217/S
These large, round or square shaped acetate sunglasses feature a unique design. This design is reminiscent of the Maison’s new Heroine bag – translated here in a curved metal insert on the double-hinged temples – combining both aesthetics and functionality. Classic and elegant, the colour palette encompasses tones of coral, Havana, blue, black, shaded blue, shaded orange, and pearled beige.

Mod. AMQ 4216/S
These sophisticated sunglasses are adorned with the brand’s iconic studs, framing the front part of the frame and on the temples. The color palette includes soft nuances of white, blue, burgundy, Havana and black.

Mod. AMQ 4220/S
The avant-garde design of these metal and acetate sunglasses is inspired by the '80s, with their bold, strong lines decorated with the brand’s iconic skull. Sophisticated colour combinations of gold with black or Havana have been selected for this model with shaded lenses.

Mod. AMQ 4229/S
These pilot-shaped sunglasses inspired by the '70s are contemporary and sophisticated - with a refined, modern edge featuring both acetate and metal in the frame. The colour combinations are elegant and range from blue/ruthenium to black/gold, Havana/gold and black/ruthenium.

Optical frames:

Mod. AMQ 4222
An ultra-feminine butterfly silhouette, embellished with small metal studs framing the lenses, gives a bright, elegant allure to this optical frame. The refined hues of white, blue, burgundy, Havana and black highlight this model’s glamorous appeal.

The Alexander McQueen collection of sunglasses and optical frames is produced and distributed by the Safilo Group.
