THE NEW MARC JACOBS SUNGLASSES:
AN OPTICAL STYLE AND A SIXTIES PERSONALITY

Marc Jacobs presents its new sunglasses for Spring/Summer 2013. Inspiration taken from Optical art movement of the 1960s is evident throughout the designer’s new collection. The new models have a bold personality which reflects the brand’s chic and unconventional style.

Dedicated to contemporary women and real trendsetters, the new proposals reinterpret, with a glamorous touch, the brand’s iconic patterns, which hit the catwalk at Marc Jacobs’s Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show. These new Optical-inspired motifs, whether they are interpreted in profiles highlighting the frames or in clean, simple lines, always feature interplays of contrasting colors and bold color combinations, lending these models a modern twist.

A vintage-chic personality: this oversize, square-shaped ultra-flat model strikes the perfect balance between a contemporary spirit and timeless elegance. It features contrasting colors on the front and temples, with sophisticated profiles recalling the theme of Marc Jacobs’ Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show, as well as edgy color combinations: white/black, black/white, beige/white and brown/white (mod. MJ 501/S).

Retro-future: these perfectly round sunglasses have a vintage-inspired shape and a unique thick double bridge. This model comes in two versions, featuring a striped front in tones of white/grey and beige/white or with contrasting profiles on the temples, available in shades of brown/white and black/white (mod. MJ 502/S).

The new models will be available at Marc Jacobs boutiques, high-end opticians and quality department stores from May 2013.

The Marc Jacobs collection of sunglasses and optical frames is produced and distributed by the Safilo Group.

RETRO ELEGANCE FOR THE NEW MARC JACOBS 2013 COLLECTION OF SUNGLASSES

The Marc Jacobs 2013 eyewear collection features four new sunglasses with a vintage-chic spirit: bold geometric shapes and thick volumes give these models a contemporary personality with a lovely retro twist.

Women’s models

A large, flat silhouette and square shape with skilfully rounded edges is the predominant focus of these women’s sunglasses. Their stunning colour contrasts and translucent nuances on the front and pearled tones on the temples define the elegance of this model.
Refined stylistic details, such as the unique hinge exclusively developed for the Marc Jacobs eyewear collection, denote quality and elegance. The temples feature clean, simple yet sophisticated profiles, highlighted by thin metal details.

These sunglasses reflect the new 2013 collection’s colour palette: blue, turquoise, red and green, as well as classic tones of black and brown (mod. MJ 486/S).

The round-shaped models have an oversize silhouette with clean, slim profiles. The vintage-inspired allure stems from appealing colour contrasts between natural tones of striped Havana on the front and pearled nuances on the temples, illuminating the frame that comes in shades of black, brown, Havana, Havana red and Havana green (mod. MJ 463/S).

Men’s models

The round-shaped men’s models look to the past with their 40's-inspired style which is emphasised by bold volumes and elegant details, such as the rivets that frame the front and the clearly visible metal core on the temples. The colour palette is vibrant and made up of red with tone-on-tone mirrored lenses, dark Havana with green lenses, transparent brown with blue lenses, dark gray with brown lenses, transparent light blue with mirrored shaded green lenses and transparent ochre with gray lenses (mod. MJ 473/S).

The flat, geometric-shaped glasses are 80's rock-inspired. The temples metal core and the rivets on the front are unique signature details of this model. The colour palette includes nuances of striped brown/horn with dark brown lenses, dark Havana with brown lenses, gray with brown lenses, mélange blue with Havana blue lenses, black with gray lenses and green Havana with green lenses (mod. MJ 474/S).

The new Marc Jacobs 2013 sunglasses will be available at Marc Jacobs boutiques, high end opticians and quality department stores worldwide from January 2013.

The Marc Jacobs collection of sunglasses and optical frames is produced and distributed by the Safilo Group.
