Valentino
Valentino has been a Rome house since Valentino Garavani opened it in 1960, and the eyewear carries the same signatures the clothes do: the VLogo, and the Rockstud, applied here as raised metal hardware on the temple and browline rather than printed on.
Construction leans on titanium and acetate, often combined in the same frame, with the metalwork treated as jewelry rather than trim. These are frames that read as Valentino from across a room, which is either the point or the reason to look elsewhere.
