Roberto Cavalli Snake-Collection Launch

Publicado em Eventos, Friends, Geral, Marcas, Roberto Cavalli

On November 13th, André Ópticas on Avenida da Liberdade hosted celebrities from the world of television, lifestyle, fashion, and blogging to get an exclusive first look at the new capsule collection from the Italian brand Roberto Cavalli.

The new ICONIC SNAKE COLLECTION is a true tribute to the DNA of the ROBERTO CAVALLI brand: Sensuality and glamour define this new collection, paying homage to the true spirit of the Cavalli imagination, expressed through the iconic serpent.

Sinuously applied to the proposed frames, the Roberto Cavalli emblem characterizes the pieces in this capsule collection, defining their exclusive and refined nature, also determined by the use of pavé sparkling crystals.

The profiles of these frames are animated by sinuous metallic snakes, which wrap around the temples, their silhouettes covered in Swarovski crystals.

All the must-haves in this collection feature the serpent winding along the entire temple.

In addition to enjoying a cocktail to the sounds of DJ Rui Santoro, guests were also able to take photos in a custom photobooth and share the moment on social media.

Exhibition “Por Detrás das Sombras”

Publicado em André Opticas, André Opticas Style Lab, Eventos, Geral, Press, Vintage

The exhibition “POR DETRÁS DAS SOMBRAS” (Behind the Shadows) evokes one of the accessories that has undergone the greatest transformation over time, presenting a selection from the André Opticas Collection (which includes over 3,000 vintage pieces), showcasing some of the most important items in the history of eyewear. In the vault room, a selection of around 400 pairs of glasses highlights the key brands, styles, designers, and changes in shapes and materials that have shaped the evolution of glasses from the 1950s to the present day. While it focuses on contemporary times, there are significant historical flashbacks, including examples from the 17th century.

The aim is to show the public the evolution of eyewear, its major transformations in shape, color, material, and applied technology, as well as how it has contributed to the definition of different styles and languages over time, being both actors and vehicles of various perspectives on material culture. André Opticas was founded in 1981 within an optical family in Oeiras.

In the same year, André Leal was born, and from an early age, he accompanied his parents on their travels, work, and shared passion for eyewear. By the age of 15, he already had experience in lens cutting, frame repairs, and it was around this time that his interest in collecting, especially bold eyewear models, began. Collecting has always influenced his life, his friendships, his travels, and his profession.
