Linda Farrow
On the Trail of Legacy
Luxury British eyewear brand Linda Farrow welcomes the Spring/Summer 2024 season with the new Black Series collection, which has masculine lines.
Founded in the UK in 1970, the Linda Farrow luxury eyewear brand quickly gained acclaim. Originally a fashion designer herself, Linda Farrow was one of the first to treat sunglasses as fashion and always produced cutting-edge collections that were always on the pulse of the times. After a twenty-year hiatus, the Linda Farrow brand was revived in 2003 when the designer’s son Simon Jablon, at the age of 24, unveiled a collection of his mother’s original designs. When Simon Jablon launched in 2003, the collections consisted of similar models with the same general characteristics. There was no one challenging the market. Jablon, who changed the market and brought color to the market, actually achieved this success by following the Dna created by his mother. He combined design, creativity and luxury to create engineered products. Simon Jablon’s following Dna, which gave soul to his mother’s pioneering designs, enabled the Linda Farrow brand to regain its rightful position with a breath of fresh air. Initially relaunching the brand under the name Linda Farrow Vintage, the original archive offering quickly gained stockists in leading department stores such as Browns and Harvey Nichols. The unprecedented demand for the archive collection led Simon to fully revitalize the brand and begin crafting his own Linda Farrow eyewear collections that continue his mother’s commitment to visionary design that consistently and consistently pushes boundaries. Today renowned for its collaborations with many of the world’s most acclaimed designers and its uncompromisingly luxurious mainline collections, Linda Farrow has established itself as one of the most exciting brands in fashion with over 30 standalone stores and concessions and 500 global wholesalers. With frequent celebrity sightings including Gigi and Bella Hadid, Rihanna, Beyonce, Kendall Jenner and Lady Gaga to name a few, and a list of new and exciting collaborations in the future, Linda Farrow’s pace shows no signs of abating.
Welcomes New Season with the Black Series
Linda Farrow is thrilled to introduce the exclusive Black Series collection for the new Spring/Summer 2024 season. This collection is primarily geared towards a more masculine audience and is aimed at delivering a fresh sense of understated opulence alongside exceptional technical precision. Crafted for the discerning customer with a taste for subdued elegance, the Black Series comprises meticulously designed items, all finished in a sleek all-black aesthetic. This results in a discreetly stylish appearance where intricate layers and details slowly reveal themselves to the wearer. Within this range of 11 distinct sunglass designs, the Enzo model stands out as a testament to the artistry and groundbreaking design principles encapsulated in this collection. Meticulously handcrafted in Japan using pure Japanese titanium, this frame boasts a captivating aviator silhouette. The layered titanium design is adorned with eye-catching side shields, featuring intricate engine-turned embellishments. Additionally, the frame is equipped with high-performance Zeiss sun lenses to provide optimal protection against UV rays, ensuring comfort and visual clarity. Furthermore, the trademark tapered temples and adaptable nose pads are designed with the wearer’s comfort in mind. The Edano aviator sunglasses exemplify Linda Farrow’s unwavering commitment to precision craftsmanship. These rimless sunglasses feature solid grey lenses with a thickness of 3mm, meticulously hand-polished to achieve a glossy rounded edge.
The titanium framework is intricately detailed, extending along the inner top brow and seamlessly blending into our distinctive tapered temples. These sunglasses are thoughtfully finished with adjustable nose pads and subtle logo embellishments on the top bar. In contrast, the Fletcher sunglasses embrace subtlety in their design to create an air of intrigue. Crafted in black acetate with matte nickel accents, these angular acetate sunglasses are adorned with facets leading to a squared titanium bridge detail. Linda Farrow’s optical collection offers a diverse range of 15 ophthalmic shapes, spanning from classic pantos and minimalist round silhouettes to more substantial square and rectangular designs. The Danilo model stands out as a finely engineered pure titanium frame, layered with a delicate acetate rim to create an angular optical design. It comes with adjustable titanium nose pads flowing from a subtly logoed nose bridge and the iconic Linda Farrow graduated temple. The slim Cedric model boasts a titanium detail at the bridge and raised pins on wrapped hinges, with subtle titanium tip detailing on the temples. Model Bay offers a lightweight frame sculpted from slim black acetate. This elevated essential features custom nickel titanium hinges with discreet logo detailing, along with adjustable titanium nose pads set into the acetate front for a tailored fit. The brow is adorned with the engraved Linda Farrow logo.
