For their 5th collaboration with Barneys NYC, SUPER created a pair of sunglasses in slick crystal acetate. The look is “clean and translucent so you can see and appreciate the frame and finesse of the skeleton within in its meticulous detail. The crystal is teamed with another rudimentary SUPER favorite: solid matte metal, keeping things essential.” Available now at SUPER and in Barneys COOP stores.

More images follow after the click.

Italian eyewear brand SUPER presents their new range of sunglasses for Fall/Winter 2011. Continuing to explore Panama, the brand presents a series of well defined and characteristic silhouettes, headed by metal and acetate combined shapes.

Next to introducing several new silhouettes, including the Racer model, SUPER also releases great new variations of their classic, using new colors and prints to set accents. Overall the new collection is somewhat classic in comparison to their previous lines, yet perfectly suiting for the winter months. We love the new matte colors, the anchor prints and also the new silhouettes, that take a more sophisticated and grown-up approach.

Check out the new SUPER Fall/Winter 2011 Sunglasses in detail after the jump.

Italian eyewear brand SUPER gets together with the Cool Cats gang from Paris, run by Pedro Winter of Ed Banger Records, Ed Banger art director and artist So Me and Michael Dupouy from LaMJC.

Taking the design cue from the Cool Cats logo, the concept is to bring the cat’s (logo) sunglasses to life. SUPER worked with the Cool Cats design team led by So Me. The result is a hand-customized carnation of the much-loved W silhouette, the linear ‘retro-futuristic’ member of the SUPER family. The shades were meticulously hand-crafted, reproducing a life-size Cool Cats logo, achieved by skillfully inserting the silver stripe by hand one-by-one, thanks to the cooperation of the experts at Carl Zeiss. The arms feature delicate silver inscriptions and the Cool Cats logo is displayed on the outer arms, winking in the sunlight.

They come in shiny black and matte black and are available from SUPER and Cool Cats.

Together with up and coming artist Ana Kras, Italian eyewear brand SUPER presents the ‘Palmas’ Collection. A series of their classic silhouettes comes with the palmtree print on the inside of the frame.

“A streamlined version of the classic favorites pick up a concept we had introduced in the past with our collaborations: hand-designed prints. The fantastic tone-on-tone retro palm-tree print, designed in collaboration with up-and-coming artist Ana Kras, is reminiscent of retro textiles and Club Tropicana wallpaper.

The print is mounted on cream interior, set against a shiny tortoise exterior, and is available in a selection of our evergreen silhouettes. A covetable and collectible for the SUPER aficionados.”

You can buy the entire series of sunglasses now here.

This season SUPER introduces their new 49er sunglasses, inspired by the iconic Explorer frame. “With a slight “Retro” feel, the resistant, metal, skeleton is partially enveloped in acetate. The classic design adapts to every need representing function in form as well as being equally iconic and transversal.

Available in total black for the design savant, or in a selection of havana tortoise with deep glass green colored lenses for that touch of Panama, characterized through the whole of collection.”

The new sunglasses are now available through the SUPER online store.

Following their Panama frames, SUPER unveils another new frame for the season, the America. “This model invokes a particular Americana: jukeboxes, Cadillac and Johnny Cash, seen through the lens of a 90’s Wrigley’s commercial. A solid silhouette with sturdy arms, with a clean rectangular shape, the América is available in dark havana acetate for a dramatic impact, or in light caramel-colored havana with contrasting green lenses for modern, light-hearted updating of a cult classic.”

The new Panama silhouette from SUPER sets the basis and standards for their full Autumn/Winter 2011 collection of sunglasses. “A result of much research, the metal and acetate are the perfect synthesis of the Super aesthetic for Autumn 2011: unique, recognizable, eternal. In spirit, Panamá evokes within all of us the desire for escapism from everyday life, perhaps an imaginary haven with which you are transported when a single ray of light reflects on your face.” The four colors above span the entire season.

Swedish brand WeSC teams up again with Retrosuperfuture aka SUPER, on a series of sunglasses for Summer 2011. Based on their previous collaboration, the two brands present a new frame in overall three colorways for the new season.

“We revisited the confidently kooky MOOSE model, first released with WeSC last season, in three new color-ways: a glossy black; an upbeat light tortoise matte, and a subtle transparent grey. As always we have used only the finest of materials: top-notch acetate and Carl Zeiss lenses are guaranteed. The detail on the bridge of the MOOSE gives the shades a tongue-in-cheek futuristic feel, while the WeSC decor hinges are in keeping with the brand’s playfulness. Made with an expert Italian touch, without losing that upbeat Swedish appeal.”

You can purchase the new WeSC by SUPER sunglasses now in the official SUPER online store.

Take a detailed look at the various colorways after the jump.

SUPER has teamed up with Hong Kong brand izzue and style icon Hilary Tsui on two pairs of Flat Top sunglasses. The sunglasses were produced to complement the upcoming capsule collection that Tsui has designed for izzue.

“The vintage black/beige colour combo is in keeping with SUPER’s revamped-retro aesthetic, to varying degrees on either model: The Flat Tops are available either with a black frame and lense, and beige inside, or in a beige frame with black lense, black inside. The simplicity of the black frame model emphasises the uniqueness of the Flat Top silhouette, boldly outlining of the iconic shape for maximum impact, while the beige frames softens the Flat Top silhouette, playing up the vintage colour-contrast while retaining that Flat Top edge. Each of these special edition can’t-miss models comes in a special collector’s box with personalized inscriptions.”

Both sunglasses are limited to 200 pieces and can now be purchased directly through SUPER here.

Check them both out in detail after the jump.

As part of their limited edition collection SUPER presents the Vincenzo sunglasses. The silhouette is a restyling of the popular SUPER People frame, enhanced with interesting new materials and an overall new manufacturing approach.

“We are excited to tell you that the VINCENZO are handcrafted using a long-forgotten technique from the ‘70s that combines havana and tortoise acetates, lending authentic old-school kudos to these beauties. Chic Havana Classic is seamlessly blended with a fierce Puma acetate on both the arms and bridge of the model, updating the technique and giving it a current, bold feel.

The delicate gold plaques at the front and on the arms nicely catch the light to subtly twinkle against the Havana Classic acetate.

As with all of our products, VINCENZO is handcrafted meticulously in Italy, using only top-drawer materials and Zeiss lenses for indisputable quality and un-rivalled UV protection.”

The sunglasses are now available from select stores and in limited quantities also from the SUPER online store, going for 150 Euros.

Take a detailed look at the sunglasses after the jump.
