Exciting times for the luxury Swiss powerhouse, as Chopard collaborate with Rihanna to launch their first jewellery collection, whilst giving us plenty to drool over with 2 limited edition masterpieces....
23kt Gold Special Edition Chopard
The “Precious” Special Edition has been designed as a tribute to the 70th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, an official Chopard partner for twenty years. The jewellery-glasses designed by De Rigo and Chopard flawlessly embody the incomparable atmosphere of the Festival: a blend of sophistication, glamour and seduction. The metal rims have been superimposed over thick lenses to create an original “clip-on” effect. Luminous and sophisticated, the rims in 23-carat gold plated metal are enhanced by clear crystals for the rose gold version and brown for its red counterpart, all applied by hand on the extension of the lenses. The round and feminine shape creates the appearance of a sparkling cloud, reminiscent of the dazzling splendour of “Precious Chopard” jewellery.
Mille Miglia Special Edition 90th Anniversary folding aviator.
We have a stunning piece from the Chopard collection to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the world’s most famous vintage car race, the Mille Miglia.
Chopard has been the official timekeeper and sponsor of the race since 1988, sharing a passion for performance with the Mille Miglia brand. The capsule collection offers luxury frames with sporty but elegant design traits, marked by a Red Arrow, the race’s logo. The lenses are polarised, to provide perfect vision and optical resolution in all driving conditions. Standout model is the folding aviator (picture). The aviator-shape model features soft touch rubberised temples with tyre tread engraving plus front and temple joints so it can fold compactly.
When we heard Jimmy Choo were experimenting with (what was described as) 'glitter' a few seasons back, there were more raised eyebrows than champagne flutes. But never has the very famous phrase "don't judge the specs by its marketing pack" been more apt, (especially if the pack is covered in Jimmy Choo glitter)!!
Fast forward a couple of seasons to SS'17, Jimmy Choo have perfected what is categorically NOT the glitter we had feared, but instead the most delightful crystal powdered fabric, that compliments a strong mix of vibrant colours in both classic and more directional shapes. In fact such is the impact of their latest innovative designs, JC have created a new wave of fans who may not have entered into sparkly territory before now, but now find themselves spoilt for choice with a type of hip sparkle they can finally relate to. Genius. Understated, modern and fashion forward glitter. Bet you didn't think we could put those 5 words in the same sentence.
Showcasing more finesse with their use of sparkle - including glittered plex glass, swarovski 3D embelllishments and yet new colours of their crystal fabric; JC now seem to to be casually jogging across the tightrope that is jewellery eyewear. Having created this Summers coolest, most accessible and fashion forward jewellery collection, we can't wait to spread the sparkle this season!!
We're in love with Chanel's Spring / Summer offering! 18kt gold and rose gold delights, with soft pastel shades apparent throughout both the optical and sun collection!
We were excited to cover this collection very early across our social media following a behind closed doors preview. Lottie seemingly approved with a customary instagram like :)
Shop the entire Chanel optical and sun collection in store at Eyesite. One not to be missed!
