A quintessential specimen of mid-2000s maximalism, these shield sunglasses embody the high-octane, logocentric glamour of John Galliano’s tenure at Dior. Engineered with a bold, oversized wrap silhouette, the polished gunmetal-tone frame contours cleanly around the face and is fitted with smoky gradient shield lenses.
The defining structural element is located on the substantial, tapered acetate temples, which feature an architectural cut-out forming the iconic Dior 'D' initial. This panel is meticulously encrusted with geometric baguette and princess-cut crystals, recreating a mosaic-like pattern that catches the light from all angles. Combining a clinical, futuristic silhouette with traditional house opulence, these archival frames serve as a definitive y2k status symbol.
