Chanel Glasses: Timeless Iconic Eyewear

Posted on the 21 May 2015 by Opticalh @OpticalH

Kristen Stewart for Chanel (model 5323, latest collection)

It all started in 1913 with the style icon Coco Chanel opening her first boutique in Deauville, where hats and accessories were sold. Since then, Chanel has become one of the most influential and adored Paris fashion houses.

Chanel eyewear collections are characterized by traditional style, with a sophisticated and classy look. But because the brand comes from the Haute-Couture and Ready-To-Wear background, all adornments in their glasses are fabulous statement pieces. Chanel glasses and sunglasses have the signature of innovation, craftsmanship and style, and they are pieces of timeless art that never go out of style but are part of every woman’s basic wardrobe.

This brand targets a sophisticated audience, people that look for the most exclusive and highest quality products but want to preserve elegance and taste.

Celebrities have worn Chanel products, such as soprano Maria Callas, actress Audrey Hepburn or US First-Lady Jackie Kennedy, among many others.

Credited with creating the quilted 2.55 handbag, the ‘No. 5′ perfume, the iconic tweed piece and the little black dress, Chanel has crowned as the number one in the fashion world, collection after collection, and even without the famous double ‘C’ logo, Chanel signature is outstanding and distinctive.

Chanel hand-finished sunglass collections

With Karl Lagerfeld as head designer and creative director since 1983, the brand has been able to keep Coco Chanel’s unruly spirit alive, introducing modern lines to adapt to today’s modern women. Chanel eyewear lines, such as Pearls, Two-Tone, Tweed, Chain and Quilting, are renowned all over the world.

Chanel glasses, a must

Chanel designs have very feminine shapes, like the well-known butterfly, cat eye and oversized frames as central design styles.

Chanel sunglasses usually maintain traditional lines with classic colours, such as the always chic black, although last collections go for more vivid colours and daring designs. Chanel optical designs are mainly rectangular with retro styles and elegant color combinations. Leather temples are a classic choice even for eyeglasses.

Chanel Spring Summer 2015 eyewear collection

Kristen Stewart, who made her début playing Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga, has been chosen by Karl Lagerfeld to be the face of Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2015 eyewear campaign for both optical and sunglasses collections.

Kristen is the new ambassador of the brand, giving a delicately rock though always elegant touch to the new Chanel frames.
