A refined take on 1970s French eyewear, this Ted Lapidus frame balances structure with subtle contrast. The deep black acetate is paired with tortoiseshell accents and sculptural metal detailing at the temples, creating a layered composition that feels both understated and considered.
Produced during the era when Parisian fashion houses expanded into accessories, this piece reflects Ted Lapidus’ ability to merge couture sensibility with functional design. Compared to its bolder counterparts, this version offers a quieter, more versatile expression of the same architectural form.
