For Spring/Summer 2017, the Givenchy sunglasses range was updated with a new addition to its VISOR series.
The eyewear has a retro athletic look, which comes from a combination of the frames themselves and the thick red strap that connects the two arms together. This gives the Givenchy sunglasses a utilitarian vibe, however the brand is careful to maintain a sense of elegance at the same time.
Made from rubber, metal and neoprene, the eyewear swaps between tones of silver, gray and olive. Due to this, the red strap on the back is made to standout much more prominently, bringing a statement edge to the Givenchy sunglasses. Written on the strap is the phrase "REAL EYES. REALIZE. REAL LIES."
