Not Cars – McLaren and L’Amy Sunglasses?

McLaren and L’Amy have announced their collaboration and the launch of a McLaren Vision Collection. Available with range of lens options later in 2019, the 3D-printed titanium frames and “floating” lenses and 3D facial scan of wearer ensures the “comfort fit.” Prices have yet to be disclosed.

Available as both sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses, a claimed  unique style is created by L’Amy in partnership with design teams from both McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing. The lenses, including the option of Leica sun lenses, are fixed within the frames at two contact points. As well as a dramatic appearance, the “floating” structure ensures the glasses are light and strong. 

The trade launch of the McLaren Vision eyewear will be at MIDO – an international show dedicated to the global eyewear industry – in Milan on 23–25 February 2019. The collection will be available to buy from selected specialist retailers from spring 2019.  More details will then be given on the full Collection.
