Luxottica has revamped two iconic models from the Persol line, in sunglass and ophthalmic versions. Created in 1963 and worn by Steve McQueen in the film The Thomas Crown Affair, model 649 was the first frame that could be folded in four to fit into the breast pocket of a suit jacket. Luxottica has revisited the classic model (PO714) and a modern evolution of the model (PO714S). The Italian eyewear manufacturer has also redesigned the Cellor model (PO3105S), which gets its name from the materials used to make it (celluloid and gold). The PO9714VM and PO3105VM models are both ophthalmic versions. www.luxottica.com
