There’s Agar with its thin oblong lenses, the oversized Ingrid, the two-tone Azalt with custom pierced temple, and Astaria in a thin metal frame with pointed oval lenses. Bold colourways for the cat eye range include red/orange mirror, mint green, blue/aqua, tortoiseshell/red and ivory leopard/grey degradé, in addition to classic colours such as black, silver and pink. Taking inspiration from the traditional aviator shape, Anteom has a thin metal frames and features slightly squared-off lenses.
Pink gold/green mirror is the highlight of the season, but there are also black, silver and gold variations. The round-framed Scientist comes in black satin/silver, antique silver/orange degradé or silver/light blue, while Scientist Mix comes in gold/black or silver satin/ yellow. The iconic oval-framed Mustang eyewear is updated for S/S 2019 collection in contrasting frames and lenses; leopard/yellow, blue glitter/light grey or red glitter/black. George Large and Library Metal present the square framed offerings from the eyewear range.

Fancy a pair? The Acne Studios eyewear collection is available at the brand’s monobrand stores and select boutiques across the planet, but can also be purchased online.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
