 View Larger Image |
Wearer: Individuals traveling in low light conditions.
Specifics: Vuarnet’s Nightlynx collection features yellow lenses that are set against matte black frames. The collection is available in five styles including Vuarnet’s 02 cat eye, 03 “The Dude,” Edge Round, District Square and the oversized aviator “Tom.”
Selling Points: Useful for driving at night or other low light conditions, Nightlynx lenses eliminate glare and improve contrast and distance perception. The bi-degraded silver mirror treatment increases efficiency against glare caused by the reflection of light on the road. The multilayer AR coating on the internal face also works to eliminate stray reflections. The lenses are designed to block 100 percent of UV rays and harmful blue light by stopping the Xenon and LED portion of the visible light spectrum, the company said.

ic! berlin Gets Geometric With the Suprematism Collection
 More Images |
Specifics: This collection reduces the frame to its basic geometric shapes—circles, squares, lines that highlight the interplay of design and the face. The collection takes inspiration from Suprematism, the art movement founded by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich which aims to create art superior to everything that came before, using lines, simple shapes and intense, beautiful colors.
Selling Points: ic! berlin breaks eyewear design down to its foundations. The collection showpiece and inspiration catalyst, Tektonika, explores the special presence of eyewear with four pairs of concentric mirrored lenses extending outward from the face. These design aspects can be found throughout five more styles – one Rx frame (Purity) and four sunglasses (Supremacy, Simplicity, Geometry and Circularity) – all made from the lightweight, durable German stainless steel that is synonymous with ic! berlin. Additionally, each frame is available in three colorways.
Price Guide: $$$$$
