AWARD-WINNING
ACTOR INSPIRES
EYEWEAR COLLECTION
By Denis Langlois
A new two-piece eyewear collection, inspired by Academy
Award-winning actor Jared Leto, will be hitting optical stores
in Canada and around the world this month. The Inspired
by Jared Leto collection by Carrera, the lifestyle and sports
eyewear brand that is part of Safilo Group’s proprietary brand
portfolio, features both a unisex sun and optical model which
incorporate ‘60s retro aesthetics with a contemporary and
innovative edge, according to Safilo.
Both the new Carrera 150/S sunglasses and Carrera 144/V
optical frames boast a classic rectangular shape that is
crafted with a high-density acetate. The 150/S is available in
a colour palette that includes dark Havana, blue, black and
a bold red. The 144/V comes in light havana, dark havana,
a red version with blue temples and a black version with
silver details.
Here, Leto, who is the star of Carrera’s 2017 campaign, talks
about the new collection and his passion for eyewear.
