Versace meets Alice in Wonderland

Following the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ inspired SS10 catwalk collection, Italian designer house  Versace is launching a limited edition sunglasses range. Versace uses the maison’s chic, classic baroque design, reinterpreting them with the adventures of Alice in Wonderland as seen on Versace's RTW SS10 runway.

The fantasy world of Alice is a gateway to combining colours and materials with total freedom, where imagination explodes into a mix of lines that alternate, overlap and intermingle. The arms feature the Versace Medusa in bas-relief technique. The Alice in Wonderland inspired designs, presented on the front frames and arms interact with contrasting illustrations.

Tim Burton has a strong link with the fashion community, and it is not a first that fashion designers are inspired by his dark mastery movies. Besides Versace, there are currently many high street retailers that are taking a trip down the rabbit hole with their latest collections.
