Ferragamo Eyewear Defies Time
For Ferragamo’s Spring/Summer 2024 eyewear collection, Creative Director Maximilian Davis interprets the brand codes with his own distinctive vision. Continuing the reinterpretation of the fashion house’s heritage models, this time taking a significant step forward and focusing on modern lines, contrasting materials and subtle details. Visual references to Ferragamo’s iconic accessories are evident in the sunglasses and optical frames, reflecting aesthetic compatibility across different product categories. The linear and sculptural forms are inspired by Ferragamo’s bag designs and enriched with familiar details that are both decorative and functional, such as the prism-shaped hinges, whose artisanal details are visible when viewed from above. The metal rivets, combined with the intricately designed 5-joint hinges, recall the style of Ferragamo’s asymmetric bags, embellished with the signature protruding buckle. The lightness of the frames is highlighted by a color palette of classics and natural tones, often enhanced by gradient effects as well as subtle transparencies. The finishes of the premium acetate materials are hand-finished to pay homage to the tradition of craftsmanship and to the distinctive quality of each Ferragamo design. The Ferragamo logo appears on the trimmings and on the temples as the essential symbol of the essential and highly sophisticated vision of modern luxury pieces. The SF2006S from the new collection is characterized by an elegant hand-engraved finish on the front, creating a multifaceted effect. This modern rectangular frame is made of high-quality acetate. The signature metal rivets are carefully designed and placed where the lenses meet the temples. This serves both a functional and decorative purpose, seamlessly joining the front to the thick temples with five roller hinges while adding a touch of panache. The Ferragamo logo, rendered in hot stamping, is prominent on both temples. In addition to the timeless classic colors, this model is also available in eye-catching gradient colors for the first time.
