The Linda Farrow Sunglasses for Fashion Week: the Darya, the Belle and the Lucia

Three frames, three shapes: the skinny Darya, the chunky Belle and the slim cat-eye Lucia, and which suits you.

Linda Farrow photographed this season’s sunglasses on the street in London, in Westminster and along the Thames, and three frames lead the campaign: the Darya, the Belle and the Lucia. We carry all three, each in three colours, from £540 to £695.

They are three different shapes, which is the useful part. The Darya is skinny and rectangular, the Belle is chunky and square, the Lucia is a slim cat eye. Each is made from Italian acetate and fitted with lenses that give full UV protection.

The skinny one

The Darya

A narrow rectangle in Italian acetate, with temples in pure Japanese titanium. The temples carry Linda Farrow’s honeycomb pattern: on the black frame in matt nickel with 22K gold-plated details, on the cream in antique gold. Grey lenses, sculpted nose pads.

In black, cream or honey, £695.

The statement

The Belle

Chunky Italian acetate in a sculptural rectangle, with a 22K gold-plated titanium plate on each temple, fixed with exposed screws and industrial hinges, and the brand’s logo eyelet. Gradient grey lenses on the cream.

The black and tortoiseshell pair is a limited edition of 100, numbered inside the temple. In black, black and tortoiseshell, or cream, £570.

The cat eye

The Lucia

The slimmest of the three: a delicate cat eye in glossy Italian acetate. The honey frame has camel gradient lenses, the black has grey. Sculpted nose pads for a close fit.

In black, honey or brown, £540.

Which one suits you

If your face is rounder or softer, the angles of the Darya or the Belle add structure. If it is angular, the curve of the Lucia softens it. For a small face, the slim Darya or Lucia sit in proportion; the Belle is the one to wear if you want the frames to be noticed.

None of them is only for the front row. The Darya and the Lucia pack flat for a city break, and the Belle in cream is the pair for a summer wedding or a week on a boat.

All nine
