Giorgio Armani: Eyewear Classics of timeless Beauty


Whether small panto frames, round unisex eyewear, oval men's eyewear or frames with sun clips - you will find all these timeless shapes in the old Armani eyewear collection. For the original
When the sometimes very purist Armani eyewear came onto the market in the early 1980s, many opticians were quite astonished by their stylistic simplicity.
A number of opticians had expected more spectacular eyewear from such a renowned designer.
But it is precisely these pure, minimalist designs based on well-known eyewear classics that made the Armani eyewear so successful.
The Armani 229 is the best example. This model resembled a shape of glasses that existed as early as the beginning of the 19th century. The Austrian composer Franz Schubert wore simple, oval wire glasses with an X-bridge, which have been associated with the musician ever since. As a result, the Armani 229 eyewear quickly became known as “Armani Schubert Glasses”.
With very small changes in detail and subtle colors, Giorgio Armani managed to produce truly timeless glasses and sunglasses classics. To this day, the demand for them has remained unbroken.
