Set for a Spring 2012 launch, the new eyewear collection, designed in collaboration with Linda Farrow, encompasses nine styles, all completely handmade. Each pair is crafted from materials inspired by the designer's ready-to-wear and jewelry collection (white jade, coral, mother of pearl and snakeskin jasper, to name a few) and costs between $300 and $1,000. WWD reports that one pair even has, "a rose motif on frames hand-carved from woolly mammoth tusk that was sourced in Siberia and is more than 12,000 years old."
We think each silhouette looks like a mini work of art: probably the most unique sunnies we've seen since Prada's festive baraque moment last year.
What do you think? Would you buy woolly mammoth tusk sunglasses? (Or keep it real casual and such with the precious jewels and gold?)
