Everyone’s Raving about Ray Bans!

March 6, 2013
Posted by Dan

RB4191Ray Ban Sunglasses are the very pinnacle of fashion focussed eyewear, and it seems that every model that they release turns into an overnight classic! With the turn of the year and everyone looking forward to the summer months, Ray Ban have once again released a selection of new frames sure to be incredibly popular with those who love quality and timeless design. These new frames include the likes of RB3501 Sunglasses, RB8313 Sunglasses, RB3502 Sunglasses, RB3506 Sunglasses, RB4191 Sunglasses and RB4192 Sunglasses; all of which are unique in their own right and feature some of the most stunning design features we have seen in a long time!

One of Ray Ban’s striking design features has to be their combination of metal alloy and acetate to create a hybrid frame which is not only lightweight and comfortable, but durable thanks to it’s inherent strength. The new RB8313 Sunglasses and RB3502 Sunglasses utilise this perfectly with this instantly recognisable design being almost solely exclusive to Ray Ban. Their arms are tapered to ensure a continually comfortable fit on your head all day round and the Ray Ban logo is emblazoned proudly on the arms as s sign of quality and attention to detail.

RB3501

The all metal RB3506 Sunglasses and RB3501 Sunglasses have a varied and interesting range of colours including Gunmetal, Black and Matte Brown which allow you to complete any outfit with a touch of class. As with the ‘hybrid’ frames, these are feather light despite being all metal and Ray Ban add practical cushioned nosepieces so that they will not dig into your face at any time. Both of these frames have a lens curvature which means that very limited light will get in through the sides allowing your eyes to stay protected whatever you plan on doing with your sunglasses.

Ray Ban’s acetate frames are simply a thing of beauty with RB4191 Sunglasses and RB4192 Sunglasses both featuring these flexible and protective frames. The RB4191 Sunglasses are Ray Ban’s only women’s frame in the new range and they have beautiful lines and undoubtedly feminine styling which Ray Ban can do so well. Round lenses are 100% UVA, UVB and UVC protective and are very much ‘en vogue’ this Spring with fashionistas and celebrities styling this new look the world over. Available in the much sought after Tortoise Shell colour, the RB4191 Sunglasses are sure to be an instant hit with any lady and you can be assured of amazing quality thanks to Ray Ban’s etched ‘RB’ logo in the lens. Finally, the RB4192 Sunglasses are designed in the much loved ’squared off’ Aviator shape which is slowly becoming one of the best selling styles of the year and it is easy to see why! The pioneers of the Aviator, Ray Ban know exactly how to make a new and updated version look so similar, yet so new and exciting.

Sneak-a-Peek: Dior Homme Collection

January 31, 2013
Posted by Dan

Dior-Homme-3Here at Shade Station we manage to stay one step ahead of the game and once again we have the inside scoop on a brand new range: Dior Homme Sunglasses! That’s right, Dior are releasing a range of male sunglasses that are going to be due for release around March 2013 and they have already caused a stir in the sunglass world. Despite only being available in 2 colours and 2 styles, the Dior Homme Sunglasses Collection has an incredible depth of style and character which elevates these to the same standard as the already well established men’s sunglass brands. Known as the Dior BlackTie, these sunglasses are highly advanced and are manufactured using a unique combination of two ultra-thin layers of acetate around a thin metal structure to provide comfortable usage all day. Exclusively handmade in Japan for Dior Homme, these sunglasses benefit from all the technical skills and savoir-faire of Japanese ateliers specialised in high-end eyewear.

Dior Sunglasses have always been coveted and I think with the depth of range the Dior Homme range now represents, the brand is only going to get bigger and better; so it’s worth grabbing a pair while you can! Available right here from Shade Station in March 2013, you can be informed by email once these arrive in with us and if you follow us on Facebook and Twitter, you will be kept updated on the latest style news and trends daily…

This week saw the launch of the brand new Chanel Bijou Collection in the Grand Palais in Paris and we had the privilege of being invited along to this highly exclusive event! Of course we were there to see the new Chanel Sunglasses range, however it is worth pointing out the beautiful and down right glamorous clothing and location we were in. Undoubtedly, Chanel are the pinnacle of fashion brands and their lavish, decadent ethos spilled out into everything that went on over the course of the week including the brilliantly choreographed catwalk showcasing their latest lines (see exclusive footage of this in the video below).

Due for release this year, the new Chanel Bijou Sunglasses collection is quite simply exquisite with chic temple designs and lenses that would make even the sports specific brands jealous. A combination of acetate, metal and diamantes; the frames are magnificent and would fit perfectly on the face of any fashionista out there and the beautifully crafted arms taper over your ears for a comfortable and easy to wear fit. Chanel Sunglasses always feature fantastic lenses to complete the look and a range of colours will be available in the new range from Graduated Grey to Brown which accentuates the already striking frame colours. Your eyes are protected at all times with UVA, UVB and UVC filters on all lenses and this will block 100% of harmful rays; an invaluable asset should you want to wear them all day as a lifestyle piece.

As you can see in the image below, the release was also overlooked by world famous Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld who cast a very approving eye over all proceedings and thanks to his endorsement, the Bijou Collection is set to be one of the most popular styles in the world! This collection will be hitting the shelves in 2013 and once we have a solid release date, we will be sure to keep you all informed.

Revo Sunglasses – The Revolutionary Sunglasses Brand Now at Shade Station!

May 11, 2010

Revo Sunglasses - New to Shade Station

Revo Sunglasses - New to Shade Station

Another new brand ready for an introduction! We are very excited to now have Revo sunglasses here at Shade Station – Revo certainly produce the crème de la crème of performance orientated outdoor sunglasses and will definitely appeal to those of you who are interested in space science technology!

The Revo sunglasses brand was founded in 1985 and right from the beginning had the intention of designing technically advanced sunglasses – it seemed fitting that the brand name should be Revo which an abbreviation of the word ‘Revolution’ which completely sums up the essence of the brand!

Revo Sunglasses – NASA Technology

Revo sunglasses were developed by an optical engineer working on a NASA research project who was developing special coatings for lenses on defence system satellites. The goal was to protect the precision lenses and optics from the sun’s harsh and damaging rays in space and he experimented with applying the same multi-layer thin film coatings to the lenses of his own sunglasses. This proved instantly effective and the Revo brand was born. Therefore all Revo sunglasses feature multi-layer lenses and the exclusive Light Management System (LMS) used by NASA. The finished lens works like a graphic equalizer to selectively transmit light that achieves optimum visual clarity whilst minimising potentially harmful light that damages the eyes. The LMS system has been applied exclusively to Revo sunglasses making them completely unique and at the forefront of the eyewear industry.

Revo Sunglasses – The Collections

The Revo collection is made up of four different ranges; Metal, Eco, Acetate and Classic, all of which are geared towards varying purposes and some are more trend inspired (especially the Classic range), but all boast ultra modern and dynamic aesthetic style (even the frames that take inspiration from retro styles feature unique contemporary twists in keeping with the cutting edge lens technology). The frames are available in numerous colours and are renowned for their lightweight and highly durable polycarbonate lenses – great for use during sports! Some models within the range also include photochromatic lenses which work by automatically balancing and adapting to light conditions and enables perfect visual clarity.

Revo Sunglasses – A Dedicated Team of Experts

Always remaining one step ahead of technology, Revo is aware of the importance of seeking the advice of those who are experts in the science and sports fields and therefore the brand has partnered with adventure-based philanthropists Jimmy Chin and Alexandra Cousteau and has recently collaborated with Australian surfer Wayne Lynch. By taking onboard the skill and knowledge of these experts, Revo can design their sunglasses according to only the highest of standards. Ultimately Revo’s brand mission to create the clearest and most advanced collection of polarized sunglasses that far surpasses anything the industry has seen and we are positive that you’re going to be mighty impressed with this collection!
