SS17 Sun

SS17 Sun

Words: Andy Krell



For our Spring/Summer 2017 collection, we expanded our design horizons with a range of new and reimagined sunglasses in a variety of fresh finishes. Metal frames were interlaced with Southwestern-inspired design elements, like intricate filigree detailing, earth-toned gradients and mirrored metallic lenses. Perennial favorites were reimagined into metal/acetate combinations, like the Kinney Combo, and whimsical new colors for Wilson, Brooks and Hampton, like Pinewood and Sandalwood Drift.

Aviators

Canal is a wider set aviator shape updated with inverse Windsor rims in matte finishes, an architecturally styled bridge and color filled acetate and metal temples. Riviera is a metal aviator style featuring a tailored fit enlivened by a thin arching top bar and a pronounced bridge with a Southwestern pattern filigree. Van Buren Combo is the latest evolution of our iconic folding frame. Now available in a metal and acetate pairing, this frame comes with a color-filled top bar and temples, acetate temple inserts, and semi-flat glass lenses.

Round Frames

Seville is a oversized round frame with a filigree bridge and CR-39 matte mirror and gradient lenses. The Matte Black and Powder Beige frames feature contrasting double rims. Our Wilson Sun is an iconic round metal frame with Windsor rims and tortoise temples in two sizes inspired by music legend John Lennon. If you're looking for a lighter version, look no further than the Wilson M, the all-metal version of our popular round style. Both styles come in Southwestern-inspired color palettes and gradient mirror lenses.

Collabs & Classics

Inspired by Arthur Miller, the GLCO x Nick Wooster collab is a masculine, retro-influenced frame with prominent top bar, metal temple plaques, and custom breath logo. If you're looking for a patriotic frame with a more classic shape, our rectangular GLCO x Mark McNairy frame is handcrafted in the U.S.A. Our classic frames also got a revamp this season. Favorites like Brooks and Hampton were released in lighter, perfect-for-summer colorways, like Sandalwood Drift and Pinewood.
