Tom Ford’s 11th Anniversary Eyewear Collection

Comment(s)

Extravagant, with the desire to express something new and different. These are the characteristics of the Tom Ford eyewear collection, that expresses the glamourous style that the American fashion-stylist has been known for. He has now come up with something exclusive – a special collection of sunglasses and optical frames designed for for the fashionistas and luxury lovers. The 11-piece Tom Ford Private Eyewear Collection actually celebrates the designer’s 11th anniversary in the industry creating eyewear. Tom Ford’s optics are created using premium materials like real buffalo horn, high-grade Japanese titanium and photochromic lenses that darken and lighten automatically, depending on the light conditions. The five Private Collection Sunglass styles include the TOM N.2, a timeless style made of shiny black or shiny striped green horn and featuring the signature metal T at the temples. The new TOM N.8 is a generously rounded aviator shape with a thick bridge, offered in shiny black horn with light brown photochromic lenses. TOM N.10 follows similar lines but with a lighter and more spacious double-bar bridge. The curving, streamlined TOM N.4 and TOM N.6 reinvent the aviator from titanium in shiny rose gold, light ruthenium, and black. Their cross-front frames—a TOM FORD signature—and light brown or smoke-with-silver-mirror photochromic lenses create a head-turning look. Six Private Collection Optical frames echo several of the sunglass styles, but in slightly more subdued form. TOM N.1 is an aviator shape made of black horn with light smoke optical lenses. TOM N.3 is a double-bar wayfarer, offered in striped dark brown horn with blue lenses, or light brown horn with light brown lenses. TOM N.5 is a classic style that was made iconic by Colin Firth in “A Single Man.” For the Private Collection, it is offered in black horn with green lenses or striped brown horn with light brown lenses. A more rounded version of this silhouette, TOM N.7, is made of strikingly pale, light brown horn. The minimalist TOM N.11 is a horn version of the sleek and slightly geometric frame pictured in the previous TOM FORD Autumn/Winter 2015 Eyewear campaign. Metal detailing accents the bridge and temples and blue lenses enhance the striking look. The new TOM N.9 is a more subtle and ultra-wearable iteration of this style, made of striped dark brown horn with light green lenses.
