RMO Comms

A year has already passed since we launched our first women’s collections of Sunglasses and Optical frames. The second season, photographed by Olivier Zahm is arguably even fresher and more contemporary than the first, which surely comes from the creation of our first lingerie and beachwear collections for next summer. Strass always, but used in shades, polka dots, all over or in colour-block, acetate with mixed “long drinks” colours nicely frosted with a “Paseo” pattern and frames with the acidulous and translucent pastel colours. And then, the light metal glasses, evoking the grains of rice of our cherished Carmargue, models mixing bakelite and resin evoking the desire for holidays on the Riviera and soft moments of idleness always with Lacroix glasses close at hand! For this very first men’s collection of Sunglasses and Opticals in the history of our House, we wanted our frames to be like our collection of costumes, as beautiful inside as they are on the outside. Thus always in the principle of contrast and paradox which defines our brand, we have played on the true and the false such as with their wood “look-a-like” acetate, the smooth and the rough by engraving of our iconic “Paseo” pattern on the surface of a Bakelite temple, or the minimal and the maximal by luxuriously dressing frames of the purest shape with the softest leather for a very limited edition... And then, of course, we find, here and there, the iconic symbols of Lacroix today, like the tridents of the Carmargue guardians or the “X” of our Chiffre “CXL” as seen on models already picked up by a famous Formula One driver!
