Spring-Summer 2024 Eyewear Collection

Inspired by the Villa Noailles in Hyères, a masterpiece of modernist architecture designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens, the Spring-Summer 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection exudes an air of carefree sophistication. Virginie Viard, the creative force behind Chanel, pays homage to the avant-garde spirit embodied by figures like Marie-Laure de Noailles and Gabrielle Chanel herself. From the very first silhouettes gracing the runway, the influence of these iconic women is palpable. Black sunglasses adorned with gold chains evoke a sense of timeless elegance and strength reminiscent of Gabrielle Chanel’s style. A juxtaposition of long flowing dresses and tweed capes with sleek sunglasses featuring Blue Light lenses and black acetate frames exudes modernity and practicality. The iconic metal chain interwoven with leather accents adds a touch of luxury to the rectangular frames, while geometric motifs inspired by the 1990s adorn square sunglasses with a double bridge, echoing the classic double C emblem.

Summer 2024 Eyewear Collection

Continuing the legacy of Gabrielle Chanel’s two-tone aesthetic, the Summer 2024 Eyewear collection dazzles with its vibrant colour combinations and innovative designs. Classic shapes such as large squares, high butterflies, revised cat eyes, and sophisticated shields are reimagined with a contemporary twist. Each pair of sunglasses features black frames trimmed in striking colours, paying homage to Mademoiselle Chanel’s belief that beauty should extend to both the inside and outside of her creations. Lightweight frames crafted from nylon fibre ensure comfort and durability, while mineral lenses promise superior visual acuity. Two-tone elements extend to sunglasses with Blue Light lenses, where brightly coloured temples adorned with lacquered double Cs create a captivating contrast. Oval-shaped frames in burgundy and raspberry hues exude femininity, while photochromic lenses add a touch of versatility, transitioning seamlessly from pink to mauve grey or champagne to dark brown in response to UV exposure. A true highlight of the collection is the elegant aviator frame adorned with 72 cubic zirconia diamonds meticulously set along the temples. This exquisite craftsmanship pays homage to Gabrielle Chanel’s penchant for blending luxury with everyday elegance, embodying the spirit of the iconic fashion house.
