Shields are the name of the eyewear game this autumn – from high-fashion cat-eye varieties to sporty wraparound styles. The popular MMECHO001, BLAZE, TRUST and PEPPER continue to make a bold statement across the international fashion pages. On the flip side, there are airy, feminine styles from LESSRIM, STUDIO 7 or retro optical models such as ALASIE and CYNTHIA also making an impact.

For each emerging trend this season there appears to be a MYKITA style to match. Fashion-forward shields like VICE or MMECHO001 sharpen up voluminous, sporty layers. The archetypal shapes and softly tinted lenses of STUDIO 7 put the finishing touch on retro Seventies ensembles. High performance MYLON shields mix with body-conscious fits and glitzy accessories for a sports couture look. And finally, Nineties shapes and colours from the collaboration lines with Martine Rose, Maison Margiela or Bernhard Willhelm add the perfect accent to offbeat styling for young and old.
