PRESENTED AT THE READY-TO-WEAR SPRING-SUMMER 2017 SHOW, THIS NEW PAIR OF SUNGLASSES OFFERS A MODERN TAKE ON SOME OF THE HOUSE OF DIOR’S ICONIC CODES.
THE DIO(R)EVOLUTION SUNGLASSES REVISIT THE PILOT SHAPE WITH A FRAME COMPOSED OF A RESOLUTELY CONTEMPORARY MIX OF MATERIALS, ACETATE AND METAL, IN A GOLD OR SILVER FINISH. RECALLING THE OUTLINES OF A MASK, A SMALL STAR PLACED OVER THE GRAY LENSES SYMBOLIZES ONE OF CHRISTIAN DIOR’S LUCKY CHARMS. HAVING BEEN HUGELY SUPERSTITIOUS, THE COUTURIER ALWAYS KEPT A NUMBER OF TALISMANIC OBJECTS IN HIS POCKETS, WITH A STAR BEING AMONG THEM.
