Luxottica revamps two iconic Persol models

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

Victory is a translucid acetate frame in various tints, such as Smoke Screen, Amber Honey and Black on English Tea. The Hampstead sunglass model, which is part of the Sun collection by Oliver Goldsmith, is another new addition. www.clairegoldsmith.com

Tura launches Lulu Guinness models

Lulu Guinness has launched four new cat-eye sunglass models for women (L114, L117, L122, L123). The new styles feature crystals, enameling and Italian prints from the designer’s handbag collection. Retailers who pre-order the new styles and have them delivered before year-end will receive special promotional pricing. Model 117 is inspired by the retro Club Master shape and has been modified as an oval with a cat-eye corner. The Wild Cat printed pattern is used on the brow and temples. http://www.tura.com/
