<\/p>\nIt may be an odd time of the year to start promoting a new sunglasses range, but the powers that be at Prada simply don’t give a damn:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On a weird, but very\u00a0chic, sort of conveyor belt the models don eyewear from the new collection, made up from oversized round or heptagonal shaped frames.<\/p>\n
What’s interesting is not all models have your standard dark lenses in each frame, in fact you can spot a few with either light grey, purple gradient or\u00a0even pink lenses. \u00a0It all feels very 70’s, which of course feels very now.<\/p>\n
Combined with the jumper\/collar combo it looks like the 70’s\u00a0trend will be in full swing this\u00a0Autumn\/Winter, extending far beyond eyewear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Much of the frames also have their arm joining the middle of the frame, which is typical of most\u00a070’s vintage design glasses. \u00a0This allows the\u00a0lens to have more height, creating a ‘bug-eyed’ sort of appearance.<\/p>\n
This was a look originally pioneered in the 60’s, but it was the 70’s that took it further with star, heart and heptagon shaped lenses – think Elton John circa Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, add some flares and you’ll be dancing along to Boney M.<\/p>\n Taking a look back at Prada’s previous collection we can see its natural progression towards the 70’s aesthetic, especially with the above hexagon-like lenses and the mix of textures.<\/p>\n Prada have been round since 1913, so they must know a thing or two when it comes to the ever-changing trends of fashion, in fact they were even around during the actual 70’s! \u00a0They must have had a dig back a few years in their archives to relive the decade again.<\/p>\n The new collection is yet to reach our shelves, but the teaser like ad campaigns have got us pretty excited – be sure to keep updated with us through Facebook<\/a> or Twitter<\/a> to find out when we finally get\u00a0our hands on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It may be an odd time of the year to start promoting a new sunglasses range, but the powers that be at Prada simply don’t give a damn: On a weird, but very\u00a0chic, sort of conveyor belt the models don eyewear from the new collection, made up from oversized round or heptagonal shaped frames.
