The House
Celine was founded in Paris in 1945 by Céline Vipiana as a made-to-measure children's shoe brand, before evolving under a series of creative directors into one of fashion's most referenced houses. Hedi Slimane's 2018 appointment reintroduced the Triomphe — the interlocking arc monogram from the 1970s — as the defining hardware across eyewear, anchoring each frame in the house's archival identity rather than seasonal trend. The result is acetate construction with the Triomphe set at the temple, producing frames that read as a deliberate wardrobe decision rather than an accessory afterthought.

ON THE FACE
The Celine customer doesn't dress to be noticed — they dress so that the right people notice. These frames belong in a wardrobe built around Breton stripes, tailored coats, and the discipline of buying less but buying right.
WHY WE LOVE IT
01
TRIOMPHE HARDWARE
The interlocking arc monogram was retrieved from Celine's 1970s archival DNA — which means every frame carries a reference point, not a logo applied for marketing effect.
02
ACETATE WEIGHT
Celine's acetate frames sit heavier than average, which translates to a stability on the face that thinner injected-plastic frames cannot replicate — you feel the quality before you see it.
03
SLIMANE'S EYE
Hedi Slimane consistently designs eyewear with a proportional discipline that makes frames photograph sharply and wear cleanly — each silhouette is resolved, never fussy.

Yes. All sunglasses sold at Sunglass Style provide full UV400 protection — meaning they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres. That's the highest level of UV protection available, and it applies across the entire range regardless of lens type. New Zealand has some of the highest UV radiation levels in the world, so this matters more here than in many other countries. Whether you're choosing a light gradient tint or a dark polarised lens, the UV protection is always the same: full UV400.

Square and rectangular frames suit oval, heart, and diamond face shapes well, as the defined corners add structure where the face naturally tapers. If you have a stronger jaw or square face, consider rounder or oval silhouettes that soften strong jaw lines — an oversized aviator silhouette will complement proportions without losing presence. Of course, face shape is a starting point, not a rule — the best frame is the one that feels like you. Colour, personal style, and confidence all matter as much as geometry. The luxury eyewear range at Sunglass Style is wide enough to suit everything from understated elegance to full glamour. If you're shopping in store, our team can help you work through the options. If you're buying online at sunglassstyle.co.nz, we offer refunds on purchases that don't work for you — so you can try with confidence.
