Below we take a closer look at the new textiles and eyewear revealed for the FW17 season.
TEXTILES
In precious silk and cashmere, the new Bulgari scarves and stoles for Fall/Winter 2017 are lively and unique, each one a piece of contemporary art designed by great artists and transformed by the hands of great artisans. A flurry of patterns and a vibrant pop colour palette of fuchsia jazzy tourmaline, turquoise zircon bay and gold counterpointed by black, white and grey, define the new season infused with an authentic Bulgari stamp.
Inspired by the figurative arts, the main themes are personalized iconic house symbols such as the serpent and the Diva fan-shaped pattern, alongside stars, dots and an Eden garden with its profusion of swirling geometries.
EYEWEAR
The 2017 Fall Winter Eyewear collection is an ode to iconic symbols re-imagined with cutting-edge designs, trendy shapes and a fashion-driven colour palette.
The SERPENTI theme is embellished with enamelled scales that slither across the front, on the top or along the brow line of shield-style frames with ultra-flat lenses and rounded acetate styles featuring cat-eye shaped lenses. Contemporary, seductive and young, with a hint of street style, each pair is characterized by a play on contrasting geometries, distinctive elements and a modern chromatic allure of matte, mirror and shine.
Quintessentially Bulgari and widely recognized as a house specialty, shield-style sunglasses in particular are reinvented to embody the latest cutting-edge trends that further state the brand’s modernity.
All Bulgari Jewellery eyewear designs are a feast of feminine and rich decors with volumes and proportions that meticulously retrace the jewellery creations.
More specifically, the DIVAS’ DREAM sign is interpreted to coddle women with wide-spanning personalities, from exuberant to understated but always chic. The DIVAS’ DREAM cat-eye metal and enamel sunglasses feature a sumptuous floral decoration that blossoms with hand-set crystals. The acetate and metal bridge frames of similar shape blend retro nostalgia with high-wattage diva charm thanks to a crystal and a fan-shaped enamel element on the arm.
Typically, the sleek and clean-cut silhouette of the over-sized rounded BVLGARI BVLGARI sunglasses, complete with on-trend over-sized round lenses, sets off the crystal decorations while maintaining an easy-to-wear and light-hearted disposition when wearing a longstanding logo.
The bold and eye-catching combination of gold plated metal and rich acetate, sparked up by the twinkling malachite eyes nestled in the multi-faceted Serpenti head, makes the LE GEMME SERPENTI sunglasses a true standout accessory with a striking seductive and hypnotic power.
