Black cat eye frames in a 53mm lens width, introduced in Saint Laurent's Spring/Summer 2021 collection as part of the Blue & Beyond concept. These are part of the Saint Laurent New Wave family, a fashion-oriented story embodying the free spirit and modernity of trend-seekers and youth culture. Muse for the Mica frame is Argentinian fashion model and artist Mica Arganaraz - often referred to as an industry icon and It Girl, Mica is a fashion force to be reckoned with. A striking modern acetate cat eye shape, the frame is accentuated by the instantly recognisable 1966 Saint Laurent Rive Gauche logo adorning each temple.
Saint Laurent Blue & Beyond glasses combine both a photochromic lens and a blue light coating to create an unrivalled visual experience.
Photochromic is a type of optical lens which darkens on exposure to light changing. In a normal to dark, or indoor environment your lenses will remain clear with a very light transparent grey tint; when worn outside, as your surroundings get brighter your lenses will darken to a dark grey as they're activated by the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
The blue light coating on your lenses will protect your eye from the blue light that passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina, which is believed to affect the light-sensitive cells in the retina; this can cause poor sleep quality, migraines and eye strain. Sunlight is the number one source of blue light making these glasses the perfect on-the-go design.
Initially inspired by the Moliere play 'Ecole Des Femmes,' Yves Saint Laurent was enchanted by fashion from an early age. Travelling to Paris in 1955 to enrol in a professional pattern cutting school, he was quickly introduced to industry legend Christian Dior; taking over as the head designer of the house of Dior after the designer's unexpected death in 1957, before establishing his own couture house in 1962. Over the years, Saint Laurent was able to establish his name as an industry titan and 'saviour' of French industry. Boasting a historical score of fashion heavyweights at the helm since Saint Laurent sold the house in 1993, Anthony Vaccarello has been creative director since 2016. Saint Laurent is known to have stated on a number of occasions that "Chanel freed women, and I empowered them." Saint Laurent eyewear represents the house's distinctive heritage and attitude; seductive, timeless and contemporary. The Saint Laurent eyewear collection is distinguished by outstanding quality and a striking mix of masculine and feminine aesthetics. Each statement silhouette blends seamlessly with unique colourways, innovative patterns and subtle branding. Taking inspiration from the original Yves Saint Laurent glamourous rock'n'roll muses, each pair of Saint Laurent glasses is decorated with distinctive accents such as metal hardware, YSL monograms and exaggerated shapes.

Whether we are at home, at work or shopping, we are exposed to multiple sources of light. Coming from all angles, light reaches your lenses and creates reflections.
