Italian fashion house Dolce
& Gabbana unveiled a new collection of sunglasses: the Mosaico Collection.
Dolce & Gabbana honours once
more the traditions of Italian craftsmanship and for the first time apply
the art of micro mosaic to its eyewear. The roots of the process lie in ancient
Rome.
The micro
mosaic, created exclusively for the Dolce & Gabbana eyewear collection,
involves masterly expertise in the spinning of Murano glass,
resulting in micro tiles that are then delicately and accurately laid by hand
by skilled craftsmen, a technique that constitutes the very foundation of their
mosaic craft.
To create
the floral
compositions in mosaic that embellish the eyewear of
Dolce & Gabbana Mosaico Collection, over thirty different filato designs
were developed to beautifully recreate the leaves, pistils, and petals of the
flower. The result is a truly inimitable “artwork” and it acts as a tribute to
the floral themes that are so beloved by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana,
themes that are deeply embedded in the DNA of the brand.
The
Collection is declined in various styles. The highly luxurious limited edition,
with only 70 pieces in the world, two more commercial options and two
eyeglasses. The Limited Edition is a truly unique model. Created with around
1000 micro-tiles, it is a tribute to those floral themes that are so cheerished by
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The micro mosaic composition beautifully
recreates different types of flowers: romantic red pansies, snow white
plumeria, and the delicate hues of the pink gerberas and the lilac of
forget-me-nots.
The Dolce & Gabbana MOSAICO DG 4215 is a romantic and
sophisticated rounded, cat-eye model featuring temples embellished with a micro
mosaic insert, comprising of 600 micro tiles (300 on each temple) and
decorating almost the entire temple shaft.
The square version is the Dolce & Gabbana MOSAICO DG 4214, featuring
temple detail embellishment near the hinge with micro mosaic details comprising
of 150 micro tiles (75 on each temple). It is a sophisticated and refined
jewel-model.
The
collection is also available in the optical version with two models. Optical
glasses carry just a hint of embellishment with 45 tiles at each temple.

craftsmanship. Choose your own on Otticanet!
