Valentino reimagines its iconic eyewear with a fresh perspective under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele. The Avant Première eyewear silhouette from the Avant Les Débuts collection debuts with a vintage yet elegant touch, capturing Michele's distinctive vision while honouring Valentino's storied heritage.
If you were among the lucky few to witness Alessandro Michele’s debut at Valentino, you must recognise the vibe instantly. Michele’s signature maximalism intertwines seamlessly with Valentino’s iconic legacy, influencing everything from garments to accessories—most notably, the Avant Première eyewear collection.
This new sunglass design is deceptively simple yet technically complex, featuring an oversized round frame with sleek, slimline temples adorned with the iconic V-Logo on stylish knurled endpieces. Lightweight metal construction and luxurious acetate temple tips make for a versatile and sophisticated design. The lenses are available in a vintage-inspired colour palette, including Dark Green, Amber, and Light Green, offering a timeless aesthetic.
This exclusive piece will launch in Valentino boutiques worldwide and on Valentino.com starting mid-December 2024, with availability in select stores beginning February 2025.
