Since its inception in the 1970s, agnès b. strives to be a brand that creates what the customers need – simple, stylish designs which will transcend time. In its Spring/Summer 2018 Sunglasses Collection, timeless shapes inspired by modern fashion and architecture are amplified with bold shades or Summer to elevate your look to anything but basic. Take a look below at what agnès b. has in store to turn summer wardrobe on its head.
Deconstructed Glam
Stripped off to highlight the classic shape, playful two-toned gradients take center stage in Sarah where textures of metal and acetate are contrasted in a palette of orange sunset, floral lavender and mossy green combo. Meanwhile, Jim features a thick acetate brow against a shaved translucent acetate lower rim alongside a browline frame decked in contrasting design elements – one side studded with stars, the other bearing the agnès b. logo. Chrissie, on the other hand, is a rule-breaker that caters to those who is bold.
Distinctive Angles
Wireframe sunnies with understated angular eyeshapes reinvented the looks of yesteryear as evidenced in Eddie – a pair with ‘panto’ (pantoscopic) wide eye revered in the ’50s and ’60s set in distinctive rim and a chic ultra-slim temple that contrasts a flat metal front with a sleek tubular earpiece.
Iconic Shapes
Unique, colourful and oversized, these frames are iconic on its own. A product of urbanized details, excellent workmanship and agnès b.’s stylistic sensibilities. From its chunky corners and oversized frame to its translucent French poppy pattern and contrasting temples, Patti rebels against expectations and cuts its own distinctive style, with a proud *b logo across its temples. If you prefer a much rounder shape, go for Debbie which is bigger, bolder and brighter.
Harmony in Contrasts
True to Parisian style which utilizes disparate elements in a cohesive design, agnès b. puts sleek titanium and chic estate together as a pairing. AB40012 is an instant classic, thick browline in translucent acetate matched with a 3mm titanium rim wire, accentuated with star inlets at the eye corner. A layer of sandwiched sheet metal between thin two-toned acetate in gradient colour combinations gives the classic framefronts of AB40014 a fresh, polished look.
Sleek and Chic
Lending a touch of vogue, AB70005 and AB70007 are produced in unusual yet trend silhouettes to offer a clean, minimal finish.
Bold Strokes
Finding simplicity in boldness, classic style are evoked with chunky lines crafted from premium Italian acetate and adorned with the agnès b. arrow inlet. AB60015 is as light as a feather as it sits on the face, a result of a special thin-cutting technique that boasts an effortless aura of coolness.
agnès b. Sunglasses Collection retails starting from RM599 to RM699. The Optical Collection is available from RM499 to RM699.
