MILAN—Luxottica revealed its 2017 launch of Valentino eyewear. Comprised of sun and optical styles, this launch channels the essence of Valentino style. Grace, delicacy and dedication to sartorial culture pervade the vibrant atmosphere of the workshops in Palazzo Mignanelli where timeless creations are produced, the company said.

With Pierpaolo Piccioli, Valentino’s creative director taking inspiration from the deeply humanistic concept of creativity as an individual process, the accessories rediscover these main characteristics of Valentino fashion with a contemporary aesthetic vision.

In the eyewear collection, the same aesthetic is present in a mix of sensual designs and punk metal, glam crystals and nylon and especially in the choice to sign the temples of all the models with the stud, the iconic symbol of the Valentino fashion house.

Sun style VA2003 features an oval metal silhouette that combines austere design with sophisticated materials. Rimless lenses, fixed with visible screws and characterized by a slight side mesh is inspired by post-industrial style. The slim temples with acetate tips are signed by iconic studs and feature adjustable nosepads.

Optical style VA1003 is an oval silhouette characterized by bright metal. The profile of the rims is defined by a hand-applied line of colored enamel. Additionally, the slimness of the temples and thickness of the temple tips create a contrast to the frame and these also feature adjustable nosepads.
