Redesigns of Emporio Armani Website

Filed Under International Designer Glasses Blogs | View Comments


Emporio Armani has redecorated their website (link below) to include a sneak preview of their spring/summer 2009 collection.


Emporio Armani sunglasses in the new collection defy expectations. The collection exemplifies breadth and range, with all five key frame shapes making an appearance in classic Armani style. For the men’s collection, a slightly larger, bulkier look reminiscent of Jackie O’s and the Elton John fashion vibe are offset with a line of sleek, cylinder wrap-around shades. The women’s collection also displays amazing scope of design. From large and round, to sleek and thin, the collection’s sneak preview shows that the new line will have something for everyone.


Additionally, the 2009 collection plays on muted colors of burgundy, olive green, violet and black, sure to be the top colors of ’09. With gradient tint lenses coupled with near-clashing frames, the Emporio Armani collection has undertones of the 1960’s – a bold and daring creative touch considering last seasons 1950’s appeal.


A final innovation in the Armani designs hits on a particularly popular trend of 2008- the disjointed temple bars. The frontal frames are separated by a minute gap from the bulk of the temple bar. Though equally as sturdy, the look appeared in late 2008 and was an instant favorite. Several of the 2009 previews have this style innovation in place.


Finally, the wrap-around style that has appeared so prominently in recent films and on several A-list celebrities has re-appeared this season in muted gold and green with gold temple bars and a slight Aviator look. Check out their redesigned website as well as their latest sneak-peak at the 2009 collection.
