Just like Olivier Rousteing's most recent Paris Fashion Week runways. the Balmain Eyewear collections have been intensifying the focus on the distinctive heritage of the historic house. emphasizing the radi- cally fresh and feminine outlook of Pierre Balmain's earliest couture offerings. whose New French Style helped to set midcentury luxury fashion upon an entirely new trajectory. The B-Eye clearly incorporates the founder's signature mastery of precise. architecturally inspired silhouettes. with the sculpted premium Japanese acetate giving a polished-yet-edgy. sensual spin to the timeless cat-eye. the most flattering of all feminine frames. The world's finest titanium allows for perfect jewel-like complements. with Balmain Eyewear's Japanese artisans crafting B-logoed titanium rivets. striking floating hinges and an eye-ca- tching. front-of-frame. sleek gold accent. The B-Eye comes in four color combinations. including the rich new Balmain Brown Leather. channeling the recurring Egyptian inspirations that have set the house's catwalks apart in recent years..
