B V BPS 121-B 54

Each succeeding generation of the B series of frames makes very clear the compelling blend of luxe and rock that distinguishes Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain. Just like every B frame before it, the B-V depends upon a rebellious, no-apologies silhouette that melds together a striking straight browline, thick acetate frame and solid titanium custom hinge. Among the many subtle changes overseen by Akoni's craftsmen are slight-yet-precise lens adjustments—which allow these statement unisex frames to create a singularly alluring geometric-yet-cat’s eye lift to each and every face. Most recently spotted on the diverse male and female models presenting Olivier Rousteing’s Resort collection, these optical and sun designs clearly channel the signature Parisian insouciance that has always been a clear component of Balmain’s spirit.
