The new Marc By Marc Jacobs eyewear collection sets out to seduce with eye-catching models featuring dramatic color effects reminiscent of elements of traditional African prints, combined with a touch of Eighties mood and equal parts New York and L.A. influence. This complex and unexpected mix makes for a truly modern collection with vibrant colors and classic influence.

Intriguing and glamorous, these injection-moulded sunglasses play with a 50s cat\'s eye shape (mod. MMJ 155/S). The attractive high temples sport a logo-plate and the color palette includes original animal-print effects in shades of black-white, black-fuchsia and black-green, as well as a classic all black version.

Channeling the Eighties, these injection-moulded sunglasses with a flat, oversize shape and slim, high temples (mod. MMJ 157/S) have extreme appeal. The unusual color palette includes shades of green, orange, fuchsia, blue and purple, combined with the transparency of crystal.

Inspired by a casual-chic mood and Eighties overtones: these acetate sunglasses with drop shape fronts attract attention with unique contrasting color ways (mod. MMJ 160/S). The temples are animated by the logo and slender metal detailing. The color palette reveals distinctive combinations: streaked blue-crystal, streaked brown, streaked red and aqua.

Combining retro inspiration and exclusive print patterns, these Fifties style sunglasses sport attractive rounded lines in metal and acetate (mod. MMJ 171/s) or in acetate alone (mod. MMJ 172/S). Refined details include a metal logo along the temples and tiny studs that frame the lenses. The color palette is made up of distinctive combinations: fuchsia/black, blue/black, black/military green, mustard/black, black/cream (MMJ 171/s); streaked mustard, streaked red, military green, aqua, streaked black (MMJ 172/s).

Temples are the focal point with this optical frame in acetate and steel with geometric Fifties styling (mod. MMJ 462). The jumbled "MARC BY MARC JACOBS" logo, also used in other accessories by the brand, extends along the length of the temples, for a playful style. Enchanting color ways include bordeaux-ochre, black-white, streaked purple, streaked red.

Sixties profiles offer an assertive edge to this rectangular shaped optical frame in acetate (mod. MMJ 470). The model is animated by exceptional colors and striking contrasts, in shades of black/white/pink, havana/light blue/violet, purple/violet/green, violet, grey and blue.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs collection of sunglasses and optical frames is manufactured and distributed by Safilo Group.
