Prada is synonymous with a style that has often anticipated and dictated aesthetic trends.
Innovative spirit, curiosity and strong artisan traditions are the tangible signs of the brand’s values that pervade the entire manufacturing process, from creation to shop floor.
PRADA EYEWEAR FALL/WINTER 2013
The Prada Fall/Winter 2013 Women’s Eyewear collection is inspired by a controversial feminine personality, in which surges of romanticism are undermined by an introverted attitude.
Evoking a retro ‘40s style, the collection features sophisticated models in which wide and angular fronts are paired with thin metal temples, and sinuous and essential lines interplay with bold, geometric volumes. The colour palette varies from traditional black, ivory and cacao tones to colourful reinterpretations of classic tortoiseshell.
The models in the Ornate special collection boast a sequence of precious stones that illuminate the frames and transform them into unique pieces, true creations that play on the timeless combination of black and white.
The Prada Fall/Winter 2013 Men’s Eyewear collection strikes a fine balance by combining purely classic lines and sophisticated processings.
The contemporary feel of the collection is accentuated by the square, yet gently rounded shape of the fronts set against the experimentally linear profiles of the temples and lenses.
The elegant colour tones, exclusive acetates and contrast between matte and glossy finishes confirm the creative spirit that runs through the entire Prada Eyewear Fall/ Winter 2013 collection.
