Best of Silmo 2013 - Fashion Sunglasses
Staying on the theme of high art and wild imaginations, Anna-Karin Karlsson is what happens when fantasies meet haute couture.
At 19, the Swedish designer began working for one of London's oldest and most renowned opticians, styling and creating eyewear for everyone from titled royalty to fashionable clients. Today, her style flows from a collective ideology of fairy tales, the underground music scene, art, Cartier Boxes and theater, unleashing elements such as dark lace, exotic animals and gothic patterns onto bespoke sunglasses. Declared one of Sweden's most important designers by the country's leading fashion magazine DV, Karlsson bowled us over with her Rose Rouge, which brings to mind all the princesses we grew up reading about in books—with a dark side. Think shadowy make-up instead of pastels, all the better to match this stunning piece.
