Gabrielle Chanel made pearls an integral part of her allure. She was adorned with pearls whenever she wore striped shirts, tweed suits, or little black dresses, stacking pearl necklaces on top of each other. These key details are immortalized by Man Ray and Horst B. Hurst. Pearls are always present in Chanel designs, whether as jewels, buttons, or elaborate embroideries. And now it forms the basis for the designs of the new collection of eyewear for this winter.
Indeed, pearls were chosen to decorate the collection of acetate sunglasses, whether the frames were square or cat-eye. Pearls have also been combined with leather in other designs, with pearls adorning the butterfly-shaped frame.
