Karl Lagerfeld introduces a new, limited-run sunglass style as part of The Ultimate Icon collection. The edition is described as “fusing heritage inspirations with a contemporary aesthetic”, and offers a square-shaped silhouette which is equal parts polished, bold, and feminine. The sun style is crafted with an acetate frame-front with oblique. As added embellishment, the temples feature a glossy metal fan logo. The statement motif is inspired by the vintage fan accessory that Karl Lagerfeld was known to carry with him at all times in the ‘80s and ‘90s; it now appears throughout Karl Lagerfeld collections as a subtle nod to history while conveying a forward-looking spirit. The Ultimate Icon campaign and collection has been created to celebrate Lagerfeld’s life and unprecedented artistic creation, honouring the designer’s enduring impact and legacy, guided by his own mantra: “embrace the present and invent the future”. The sun style is available in four premium acetate colours of signature black and white, dark tortoise, petrol and lilac, and cyclamen and rose.
