Spotlight SAFILO LAUNCHES CARRERA JUNIOR Carrera introduces four easy-towear Carrera Junior sunglasses for six to 12-year-old boys and girls for the first time in the U.S. which are available in trendy materials, colour and mirrored lenses that are appealing to kids and pre-teens. A refreshed new collection of Carrera Junior optical frames for the same target provides a substantial kids offering from the Carrera brand. “Upon entering primary school, a child’s universe of reference changes. Their tastes are beginning to establish and they seek to integrate and become sensitive to trends and brands at this age,” says Nicola Bonaventura, Artistic Director of Proprietary Brands for Safilo Group. “For this reason, we’ve developed scaled down adult frames for this age group. Following Carrera’s new brand platform, the Carrera Junior offerings follow suit and are styled based on the “Out There” lifestyle concept, built on Carrera’s belief that passion is the fuel that moves us through the journey of life. Carrera boys and girls are invited where the adventure begins.” www.safilo.com Optical Prism | October 2015 13
