Luxury fashion house Balenciaga introduces its new LED sunglasses for the season. The frames made its original debut last year for the Spring/Summer 2020 show. The light-up sunglasses are bound to draw attention with its bold look, featuring branding details on the temples.
The temples light up when it is tapped and is activated due to the built-in technology of its touch sensor. Wearers are able to control more than that: the different color of the light and the light patterning around the frames can be altered with additional taps on the temple. The frame's shape boasts a futuristic look and nods to the design aesthetic that is true to the 90s due to the chunky silhouette.
