Lulu Guinness, the UK’s leading designer of fashion accessories and handbags, has electrified the spring-summer fashionistas with her latest collection dubbed “Eye Con”.
The brand’s key icons have been subtly reinterpreted for the season with the all-seeing eye, artistic snake doodle prints and lipstick motifs combining together to create a magnificent repertoire that provides a glimpse into Lulu’s ongoing fascination with the female face.
Lulu’s ultimate iconic emblems — the lip and the eye — still take pride as two of this season’s standout styles. The classic Lip Clutch has been revamped in durable and distinctive rubber. The playful and iconic leather Eye Coin Purse is now recrafted with a trim of metallic gold.
An undercurrent of imagination, daydreaming and doodling also runs throughout the collection which features bold shapes and original sketches.
A new hand-drawn design featuring in the collection is the face of Dora Maar, Picasso’s muse, who has been immortalised in a new 3D style that embellishes and brings to life a selection of handbags in layers of gold.
Colour-wise, gentle muted tones of mist and light magenta are complimented by antique gold and enamel detail to create a sophisticated summer palette, which illuminates key eye-conic detailing on this season’s bold eyes and lips.
The brand’s much-treasured Daphne bag has also been reinvented this season as an adaptable cross body to sling over your shoulder while keeping your style sophisticated. Practical yet stylishly classic, Daphne returns in all its glory in a variety of seasonal colours.
Several new handbag shapes are introduced into the collection that are sure to become muses to many.
