French artist Clémence Seilles recently collaborated with Italian sunglasses OXYDO to create a line of sculptural designer sunglasses that offer a hybrid of artistic design paired with stylish wearables. The line features an array of rounded vintage style frames that feature linear embellishments that add an element of surrealism to the everyday staples.
The sunglasses are part of the OXYDO Lab SS16 line that offer a mix between stylish everyday eyewear and artistic sculptures. The glasses feature a tangerine orange frame with a repeated triangular pattern, rounded frame and darkened lenses. The upper portion of the glasses features two lines inspired by Sellies' designs that add a sculptural and dimensional aspect to the glasses. The bright use of color, pattern and prints ensure the frames are stylish enough for everyday wear.
