The collection , produced and distributed by Safilo , embodies “ the ironic glam , light-hearted approach and the decadent luxury ” of the Italian brand and Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott .
Safilo says strong hints of gold pervade the entire collection , in the form of 3-D logos , studs , chains , metal bars , et cetera .
The colour palette , meanwhile , reveals a back ground of black and Havana with gold metal finishing together with fundamental white , red and blue , as well as a more playful and glossy range : pink and fuchsia , plume and teal .
Jeremy Scott recently discussed the new collection , which is available at Moschino boutiques , high-end optical shops and quality department stores .

Q . What is the inspiration behind this new collection ? A . There are many inspirations , ranging from 1950s starlets to punk ballerinas with spiky studs .
Q . What are you searching for in a pair of sunglasses ? A . I feel like you can really enhance your mood by the sunglasses you choose to wear - it ’ s like being in a role in film . I sometimes want to have something very classic retro with a twist that feels carefree and fun . Other times I want something that is tough and makes me feel strong . Sometimes I want to wear something that will make me feel hidden in plain sight . And then still sometimes I want to wear something that says “ look at me .” It really depends on my mood and that ’ s why I want to create shades that enhance all these different feelings and moments in one ’ s life .
Q . Who would you like to have wearing Moschino sunglasses ? A . I ’ m very democratic . If someone loves what I do , I ’ m happy for them to wear it ! I would like to see my shades on pop stars and stay-at-home moms , Wall Street bankers and rappers from the Bronx , starlets poolside in Hollywood and grunge punks on Melrose . I want to see them on everybody ! All cool kids all around the world !
