The FT1362 sunglasses by Haider Ackermann made a striking impression with their sharp-lined silhouette, black frames, tinted lenses in multiple colors, and rose gold T logo at the temples.

FT1364 offered a fresh take on oval frames, with bold thickness, sculpted volume, and sophisticated geometry in both classic and Havana tones paired with contrasting lenses.

The FT1365 wraparound frame brought a fashion-forward edge, defined by harmonious lines, generous volumes, and a strong, unmistakable personality.
