To present their new collections of luxury sunglasses from major brands such as Akoni, Valentino, and Balmain, the geniuses at Tangerine invited us to Santa Fe to share the vision of these legends of the world of fashion and their commitment to sunglasses, as well as the personality behind each of these brands and the people who wear them. Each lens is as unique as the person wearing it; for this reason, we invite you to learn more about these brands and some curiosities about sunglasses.
If your personality is trendy, avant-garde, and fashionable, Balmain’s proposals are for you. Its alternative and fashion style is a must for fashion lovers.
Style as old as time.
The first sunglasses date back more than 2,000 years ago, among the native Eskimos of Alaska, Greenland, Siberia, and other Arctic regions. These were used as snow goggles to protect the eyes from sunlight that reflected on the snow-laden ground and caused blindness. The first sunglasses were of wood and leather.
When you are in for an elegant style to protect your sight and elevate your look, Valentino is the brand.
Sir Elton John, the English songwriter and singer, is said to have the prime collection of sunglasses in the world. This one has more than 1000 pairs! Most are scandalous: some have awnings to cover the eyes, others are dazzled with rhinestones, and others have feathers and different shapes for each lens.
Finally, we want to introduce you to Akoni, a line whose slogan, Framing Visionaries, perfectly reflects the concept behind its proposals. Akoni sunshades are sophisticated and current pieces that perfectly represent the concept of Quiet Luxury and impact with simple and exquisite lines.
A fun detail about cat-eye sunglasses is that they became popular after Marilyn Monroe wore them in How to Marry a Millionaire.
