Indeed, the Jean model by Danielle Rattray, an independent Scottish designer from the world of graphics and fashion, relies on vintage reminiscences that have been updated with a contemporary design, and by focusing on absolute quality, she is also creating a fashion line dedicated to strong and independent women who nevertheless love understated fashion. Made of 8.0 mm thick acetate, the Jean sunglasses are available in saturated shades like shiny red and black or crystal green; colours that emphasise the glasses' lens and frame profile, while also highlighting the material's characteristics.

However, often the value and charm of objects arises precisely because their different elements contrast. As in the Bora model by Linda Farrow, where perfectly round, shaded tone-on-tone lenses have been inserted into a thin and wide hexagonal frame made of grey tortoiseshell acetate that recalls the look of marble. The decidedly oversized Ibiza design, on the other hand, belongs to The Attico, an Italian brand born from the love its creators Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini share for "glamour and sparkle". The two different yet complementary personalities are united by a vision they call "Modern vintage". To translate this special vision into glasses, they have collaborated with Linda Farrow. Ibiza, made of acetate and featuring shaped lenses, is a playful creation that skilfully oscillates been empty and full, corners and roundness, asserting its personality with boldness, without compromise, while at the same time hinting at a spirit of lightness and freedom. Speaking of an emotive place, elsewhere in time and space, thanks also to a particular chromatic choice: electric blue, lilac and turtle shell. For brave spirits. For volitive women. But raise your hand if you have never thought of being daring. At least once. At least a little. Especially here and now.
