Quick Take: Safilo’s latest Max Mara collection draws inspiration from classic Scandinavian cinema.
Specifics: Sun and optical styles that are the ideal blend of Northern European design with Italian femininity.
Selling Points: Standout looks from this latest collection of frames includes the MM Anita which are acetate cat eye sunglasses that pay tribute to the icy and timeless femininity of La Dolce Vita star, Anita Ekberg. This style is embellished with a fine metal detail on both sides of the front and on the temple tips. The MM 1318 is an optical style that stays true to the stylistic concepts of the Anita sunglasses but features more of a discreet yet still feminine silhouette. The MM Overlap is a sophisticated construction with overlapping layers. The interplay of the overlapping Optyl masks in transparent and solid hues gives shape to the front, creating an elegant and refined multilayer effect. The metal temples feature the Max Mara engraved logo. Additionally, the Prism detail is a signature element and leitmotif of the Max Mara eyewear collection and is revisited as a discreet metal detail on temple tips. Inspired by the union of round and square shapes, the Prism detail reflects the harmony of the different but complementary sides of the Max Mara woman.

The Nita style from Mykita/Damir Doma takes inspiration from a sharp pencil drawing on a clean sheet of paper. This style continues the tradition of the poetic stainless steel construction with an entirely new look. The scribble-like design showcases a sense of controlled chaos in its appearance. The finely structured web design combined with monochromatic colorways in black, shiny silver and camou green achieves a harmonious presence among the chaos.
