A new acetate collection from Lara D’ highlights Lara D’Alpaos’ original creative style in design, with focus on layering effects and a mix of colorations that range from classical tortoise prints and petrol blue to a flash of fluo, aquamarine or fuchsia. The pastel tones of the collection are inspired by the most iconic colours of the FIAT 500, with the aim of adding a touch of vintage softness to the carefully curated colour palette. “This collection has been born out of a desire to add to the models in my UNIQUE Collection,” says designer Lara D’Alpaos, “which is composed of laminated acetate frames characterised by clean, well defined lines. I wanted to create a way to give greater focus to the use of the different acetates in one frame, using contrasting colours, which are well balanced and perfectly harmonious. To further enhance the concept, the acetate is placed at different levels to produce the 3D effect. By using clean horizontal lines, all of the models in this collection have a recognisable linear movement.” The seven ophthalmic models launched in this new artisan line include five styles for women, one unisex shape and one design for men.
