"The White Lotus" sparks luxury eyewear fashion trend
The White Lotus is setting new fashion trends with its latest season. Known for its lavish settings and quirky storylines, the show has also influenced style choices, particularly with sunglasses from the Italian brand L.G.R. In the current episodes, several characters wear L.G.R sunglasses as a sign of wealth and sophistication. These characters, played by Carrie Coon, Jason Isaacs, and Sarah Catherine Hook, shield their eyes from the sun with these stylish frames. The show’s costume designer reached out to the brand almost two years before the season aired. L.G.R sunglasses are popular among many celebrities like Timothée Chalamet and Gigi Hadid. They are known for their simple yet elegant design, without flashy logos. The frames are handcrafted in Italy and take up to 14 weeks to make, highlighting the brand's commitment to quality. Luca Gnecchi Ruscone, the founder of L.G.R, draws inspiration from African landscapes and cultures for his designs. Each frame is named after places in Africa, honoring the continent's influences. The partnership between The White Lotus and L.G.R showcases how quiet luxury can become trendy. The brand has also been featured in other popular series like Emily in Paris and The Sandman, increasing its visibility and appeal in the fashion world.
