The Acne Studios sunglasses collection for the Spring/Summer season of 2017 features a number of fresh variations of its previously released popular frames, as well as two entirely new models.
The two new models are dubbed the 'Scientist' and the 'Valeska.' Both are round in shape, however the Valeska is a little more petite, with one version coming with patterned frames that draw attention to its wearer. The Scientist has metal frames, and the lenses some in indigo, as well as black.
In addition to the new frames, the Acne Studios sunglasses collection features fresh colorways for its 'Howard,' 'Winston,' and 'Mustang' models -- with the latter now available in a unique mustard and pink version.
