Protect your eyes from the harshness of the sun—and look good while doing it.

We may not have a Green New Deal yet, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean you can&rsquo;t protect yourself from the impending climate change in style.&nbsp;Classic houses: Persol and Christian Roth are introducing classic frames made famous by Tom Cruise and Kate Moss respectively. Collaborations are at the forefront of sunglasses innovation. Martine Rose and Myklta are bringing whimsicality to the craft with their upside-down lenses, while Kelly Rowland and Smoke x Mirrors make shades that are ready for battle. And if the world is really on it&rsquo;s way out why not do it with a bang. Noted fashion photographer John-Paul&nbsp;Pietrus founded Francis de Lara while studying at the prestigious jewelry school Metallo Nobile, Pietrus came up with the idea to create the first fine jewelry eyewear brand inspired by the women of the Renaissance paintings who were decked out in jewelry but not eyewear.

Despite their popularity, the original 4001 are hard to find so it&#39;s best to pick them up ASAP!
