Pictured above, Kaleigh is wearing a pair of Courrèges frames with silver accents and purple lenses. The house of Courrèges was established by French designer André Courrèges in 1961. The label is still known in the present day for its blend of futurism and sixties style. Isaiah is sporting Loewe frames with hits of rose gold and purple gradient lenses. Unbeknownst to many due to its recent popularity, Loewe was first established as a cooperative of leather artisans in Madrid in 1846, three decades before German craftsman Enrique Loewe Roessberg turned it into one of the world’s first luxury houses. The Spanish label has since shaped its position as a leader in the fusion of artisanship and ingenuity, with a signature style that embraces novelty and eccentricity in heritage classics.
Kaleigh is wearing an iconic pair of Oliver by Valentino sunnies, featuring silver frames and clear lenses (Left). Oliver by Valentino eyewear became famous for its very innovative shapes and use of custom lenses. This particular pair features a sleek, futuristic silver bridge. Progressive colors and metals is the mark that Oliver by Valentino was known for in the Vintage Sunglasses industry. In the right image, she is wearing another pair of Oliver by Valentino frames, this time with a sporty silhouette and flash blue colored lenses. Isaiah is wearing silver and black Gianfranco Ferre frames, a timeless silhouette speaking to the label’s design philosophy of sticking to the classics, not trends. Vintage Gianfranco Ferre sunglasses have that high end flavor mixed with class and luxury.
