Rihanna and Jenner sisters–approved
May 31st, 2017
The Balenciaga FW17 campaign has unveiled one of the upcoming trends that will dominate the major headlines - and our Instagram feeds. The collection, in fact, presents a spectacle of eyewear that could become the next must-have for eyewear: it is the "Matrix" model, the iconic dark and minimal glasses worn by the protagonists of the Wachowski sisters' trilogy.
Rihanna has already anticipated this trend with her mini-collection of sunglasses in collaboration with Dior. It was a futuristic model with colored lenses inspired by the science fiction series Star Trek – which does not properly recall the style of the Matrix movie, but it was a small step towards this trend.Recently, these sunglasses, who recall the 90s and early 00s, seem to have had the best on more flamboyant and vintage models, and Balenciaga's FW2017 campaign has definitely put them under our attention.
Not only Balenciaga but also the KENDALL + KYLIE's second drop by Jenner's sisters has offered sunglasses in the typical "Matrix" style and a few days ago Rihanna went out on Cannes 2017 red carpet wearing similar eyewear - but in White version - of the brand Andy Wolf Eyewear.
Well, these sunglasses have all the key factors to become the next hot season trend. If you want to keep up with your favorite It Girls, we advise you to start following it right now!
