Women’s Sunglasses on the Runway

Written by Lauren Greaves   

Trends in eyewear get their start each year with a trip down the runway.

The sunglasses on the runway this summer all started off oversized and were then molded to fit each collection. Prada’s 2010 Summer Women’s Wear collection featured thick transparent plastic frames in pink, green, and clear with matching tint squared lenses. Some of the frames even had an almost cat-eye flair to them. Gucci showed a similar look with squared gradient lenses and plastic frames featuring a very slight cat-eye look.

 

In the Versace collection, the sunglasses had dark squared lenses and a pink bar on top that ran the length of the frame.

 

The Giorgio Armani collection had more styles of sunglasses featured, showing black and white plastic frames that left gradient lenses rimless on the sides. Another look featured classic round gradient lenses with thinner temples than what is typically seen with that style.
