Roberto Cavalli Snake-Collection Launch

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.

André Opticas X ModaLisboa Collaboration

We collaborated with ModaLisboa to produce the official association model. Since we were invited to showcase our treasure, we decided to invite our dear Eduarda Abbondanza to present us with an out-of-the-box design for a special edition… just 1 of 1.

Handcrafted using 100% manual techniques, the model Legacy by E. Abbondanza, created by the founder of ModaLisboa, is made from Asian Buffalo Horn—an eco-friendly, ultra-lightweight, hypoallergenic material with unique colour nuances and patterns characteristic of each animal.

Head over to Rua Augusta and experience this design piece firsthand, heart-made for the most discerning eyewear enthusiast, at André Opticas’ private exhibition – Por Detrás das Sombras (Behind the Shadows).
