Archival Revival
Tom Ford eyewear from Marcolin unveils showstopping sunglass styles in this season’s Archive collection, variations of its popular Whitney frame worn by celebrities including Charlize Theron, Keira Knightley, and Angelina Jolie. The Tom Ford Nicoletta, Bettina, Fernanda, and Jada interpret the Whitney’s bold, infinity-shaped appeal.
The Tom Ford Jada (pictured) is an oversized portrayal with subtle sweeping curves for an alluring silhouette.
Special-Edition Specs

With the release of just 911 pieces, the collection, which incorporates 100% beta-titanium, includes the Porsche Design P8966 (pictured), featuring Vision Drive lens technology, and the P8369 optical frame.
Ready, Set, Fly Free
Nike Vision from Marchon Eyewear introduces the Nike Flyfree, a high-performance eyewear style that offers interchangeable lens options, designed to latch securely into the frame to help wearers easily and quickly adapt to different light conditions. The ventilated top bar, temples, and hinges also aid in fog-free wear.
Designed with Nike Max Pro optics, lens options—which feature anti-reflective, hydrophobic, and oleophobic coatings—include clear (to support prescription lenses), mirrored, polarized, road tint, and low-light tint.
Fresh For Fall
Luxury eyewear brand Barton Perreira reveals its Fall/Winter 2023 collection, highlighted by geometric silhouettes, nature-inspired colorways, and bold accents.
“Our Fall Collection takes inspiration from the 1960s pop art movement,” says co-founder and designer Patty Perreira.
Pictured is the Barton Perreira Nattie, an intentional take on the less-is-more rounded shape in stunning Japanese acetate in colorways such as oxblood, champagne, and more.
