VIKTOR LUNA SS16 X LAVERNE COX

For Spring Summer 2016, Viktor Luna reveals yet another way of crafting modern fashion in his collection, NEW ERA. One cannot design for the future without looking to the past; in this case, the Sumerians served as a point of reference, with a signature integration of a futuristic, urban edge. Metallics and high-gloss finishes conjure a feeling of glamour and electricity present in the 1970’s disco age. Tailored leather jackets layer atop multidimensional sartorial vesture. Pleated liquid lame is present in conceptual gowns as the technique cascades into more ready-to-wear styles, such as skirts and trench coats for both men and women.

This season, Luna creates a collaborative art film with Director, Sophy Holland, featuring the artists and performers who have supported his brand throughout his career. Names such as Laverne Cox, Jackie Cruz, Jonte Moaning, Leo Pelligrino and Samantha Diaz make appearances, alongside models such as Trevor Shapiro and Ashley Kolodner. [Laverne Cox fans] this video is everything! Great energy, choreography, music, cameos by Viktor Luna himself and of course, amazing fashion & style!

Spring Summer 2016 will also mark the first season that Viktor Luna will be showcasing accessories, collaborating with leading footwear designer Zach Lo and celebrity eyewear designer A-Morir. The collection will be available in November 2015 on www.viktorluna.com and select retailers. Each piece in the collection is hand crafted at Viktor Luna’s NYC-based atelier.

Custom orders can be placed online at: www.viktorluna.com/shop.

My "Aspire Stylish" Eyewear

e vincent martinez fashionado

Do you like my new glasses?! I am obsessed with them! I recently introduced you to Aspire Eyewear, a fashion-worthy, lightweight brand exclusively distributed by ClearVision Optical. These glasses- my glasses - sport a subtle grey-green fade, weigh next to nothing but are extremely sturdy. Aspire offers many styles to choose from and colors, but mine will work well with my wardrobe and silvered hair. Hey, these are things to consider when choosing eyewear. Form and function, as I've said many times, go hand-in-hand when establishing style.

Can you can see the translucency of the frames? I've never handled more lightweight glasses than Aspire's. They use a specially designed nylon material that makes Aspire Eyewear 50% lighter and thinner than regular frames. The designers of Aspire have achieved the perfect balance between style and technology. Make sure to visit their website for more information and to find a location near you!

Aspire Eyewear is a must have: vintage vibes with a modern twist. Classic, sophisticated but edgy.
