Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Modern. Valentino in a sharper, more architectural mood: a gunmetal shield with aviator bones, a double bridge, and the house name set quietly into black acetate temples. Unworn and still fitted with its original dark grey lenses, it is a confident, sculptural Valentino sunglass.
