Dior catwalk sunglasses: Dior Audacieuse


If you have seen the Christian Dior fall/winter 2013/2014 runway show, you must have spotted the very impressive Christian Dior sunglasses! In fact, the brand flourishes under the direction of the designer Raf Simons, who actually borrowed interesting fashion details from the past and breathed a new life into them.

There was just one pair of sunglasses featured during Christian Dior fall/winter 2013/2014 runway show – but its exceptional design is worth dozens of conventional shades.


The Dior Audacieuse sunglasses represent a very original application of the butterfly shape: the lenses are slightly curved in the upper part and that creates an impression that there actually is a stunning butterfly resting on your face and ready to just fly away.

The shades feature a metal frame with forked temples and the lenses extend beyond it taking the concept of oversized sunglasses to a new level. It’s been a while since we have seen such an out-of-this-world piece of eyewear.

It really espresses Dior’s modern elegance and savoir-faire: they are perfect for a glamorous look blending couture spirit with futuristic design. Lightness is mixed with asymmetry, for a truly sophisticated statement.

These sunglasses offer refined and unexpected chromatic blends and the interplay between metal and acetate is enhanced by magnetic colours:

- Gold/matt black/matt pink with black temples and dark grey lenses
- Matt light blue/gold/matt black with black temples and blue navy lenses
- Matt black/gold/matt navy blue with white temples and dark grey lenses
- Silver/matt pink/matt white with blue temples and dark grey lenses





The new style of the Dior Audacieuse is not only shown in the sunglasses, but also in a pair of butterfly-shaped eyeglasses.

The model characterizes the face enhancing the look with its wide shape, while the metal details create a bracket that frames the face.
