As there are no longer any material barriers, the metal spirit of the temples can often be seen emerging through the acetate, thus becoming a very strong distinctive and decorative element of the glasses. In the MJ1109S model of the women's line The Icon by Marc Jacobs, the attention is immediately attracted by the large metal plate with all-over logo inserted in the temple, but also by the brand name that unexpectedly appears on the upper edge of the front. A double challenge for Kartell Eyewear, which explores and experiments with other possibilities of plastic, starting from a different point of view but one that remains connected to design, the unmistakable matrix of the brand. The Lamina Squared model, which is part of the Main Collection, is based on the concept of "One + One = Three": two different silhouettes of the same material overlap to create a third three-dimensional shape crossed by reflections and lights.

When making glasses in transparent materials, each element must be naturally calibrated and carefully studied so as not to ruin the balance and aesthetic harmony of the whole, ensuring everything is visible, without secrets. And that is why you are really surprised by the original and brave model AA0085S by Alaïa that, if it were not for the sunlenses surrounded by a darker profile, in the transparent version it would seem magically suspended in nothingness, without ever losing its strong scenic presence. Instead, Giorgio Armani's refined and ethereal model AR8217 seems to float, inspired by the transparencies of the marine world, with sinuous rods that recall the movement and graphic motifs of the waves, made of bio-acetate with 67% bio-based carbon. Because magic and dreaming are also definitely part of this trend.
