NATHALIE BLANC revisits vintage roots
- By Sponsored Post
A passion for vintage and retro is the theme behind the new collection, where frames are inspired by the 1970s, a decade dear to the French designer, Nathalie Blanc. “This time we’ll be talking about the personalities who left their mark on these years through their style, courage and determination,” the company explains. In the new campaign, Nathalie Blanc pays tribute to women who have marked the lives of other women; for the new season, Fanny, the face of Maison Nathalie Blanc since the brand’s beginnings, is the main protagonist around which the campaign takes shape.
A cinematic journey is explored inspired by strong female characters such as Linda Carter, Simone Veil, Marie-André Leclerc (the serpent) and a female version of Top Gun, but also a musical journey with Janis Joplin, Céline Dion and Melody Gardot. The eyewear models include Camelia, a homage to Janis Joplin. Blanc created this flower-shaped sun model as a symbol of the years of freedom of that time “when all daring statements were permitted”.
A further special highlight among the sunglasses styles is model Melody, inspired by a pair of sunglasses made especially for Melody Gardot, a French singer and icon of jazz, known for her soft voice and melancholic songs. This pair of glasses revisits the famous shape of model Suzanne by Nathalie Blanc, which was the winner of the Silmo d’Or award in 2018 and a favourite frame of the singer.
