An Artistic Shade: Valentino Maskaviator sunglasses
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:34
The luxury Italian brand, Valentino, brings back the vibrant 60s with the launch of their Maskaviator sunglasses – along with a touch of artistry and individuality.
Why we love it:
Sunglasses are these ubiquitous pair of accessories that never quite seem to leave our gaze. Designers are churning an increasing number of styles in varied materials and tints to quell our insatiable desire to parade in drool-worthy eyewear. Valentino took the latest bait and out came the exceptionally intriguing Maskaviator sunglasses.
Inspired by the bygone era of the 60s, the large framed glasses exude a bold sense of modern individuality – one that simply screams for people to turn and notice, not just from its exaggerated shape of course. Available in three colours – Havana, dark Havana and Red Havana, we can imagine strutting down the streets with these perched elegantly on our noses in sheer 60s confidence.
To celebrate the release of the sunglasses, Valentino’s creative designers, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, collaborated with a famous London street artist. Without being provided any form of brief or direction, the artist only made use of the sunglasses as the sole inspiration to deliver a mesmerising display of unbridled artistic expression, centered around the Maskaviators.
It’s essentially hard to deny this beautiful amalgamation of talent, creativity and innovation, captured through the eyes of a pair of sunglasses.
