Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Vintage. This is Valentino's oversized shield silhouette dressed up with crystal detailing along the brow and temple, giving an already dramatic aviator shape an extra layer of glamour. The silver-tone metal and dark grey lens keep the palette restrained, letting the crystal work do the talking — a strong example of Valentino's early-2000s statement eyewear.

Notes

The model 5401/S is independently documented; however, the engraved color code 6LB is associated in retailer records with a black frame colorway, while this pair is silver/gunmetal-tone with crystal detailing. This discrepancy is disclosed rather than resolved, and the color code should be considered unconfirmed against this specific frame finish. The engraved temple length (125mm) also differs from the 130mm documented for this model elsewhere; this is likewise noted rather than resolved.
