METAVERSE-INSPIRED FRAMES

Sunglasses with virtual-world designs befitting the metaverse are trending in 2022. Fashion brands have been inspired as the buzz around the shift to the metaverse continues. During Milan Men’s Fashion Week, Dolce & Gabbana A/W 2022 menswear collection gained inspiration from both within the metaverse and externally – as in what a metaverse-attuned individual would wear in real life while taking part in virtual reality. Other labels such as Balenciaga, Celine Homme, and Lanvin are taking the lead in this space, showcasing metastyled frames in their A/W 2022 collections.
