About this item

A playful women's oversized square frame from Fiorucci's eyewear line, produced by the Italian frame maker Metalflex. The front and temples are clear crystal acetate with a laminated floral fabric-print layer in pink, raspberry red, orange, cream and soft green, so a fine woven textile texture shows through the acetate and a clear crystal edge outlines the rims. Soft squared lens shapes, clear integrated nose pads, gold-tone hinges and a visible gold-tone wire core in the temples. Fitted with flat medium-blue tinted lenses.

Brand heritage

Fiorucci was founded in Milan in 1967 by Elio Fiorucci and became one of the defining pop fashion labels of the 1970s and 1980s, known for bold colour, prints and its cherub "Angels" imagery. In the 1980s its eyewear was made under licence by Metalflex, an eyewear manufacturer from the Cadore district of Italy.
