The range is entitled 'City Force' and it features familiar silhouettes including the pilot and the navigator delivered in reworked iterations. The range boasts a retro inspiration and it incorporates a sturdy construction using materials that blend together aluminum and acetate.
The overall aesthetic follows oversized designs and exaggerated proportions highlighted by bio-based materials. Some of the standout designs include the tortoiseshell acetate and aluminum frames that are accompanied by a geometric nose bridge cut out and is lined with golden accents.
