In 2003 sunglasses produced in licence with Allison spa and hit the markets, each year growning stronger and with professional designs and art work. The perforated temples with the JR logo are coolly classic. More sophisticated and innovative, the injection-moulded models: plastic and metal in pure colours, combined and overlaid in bizarrely ingenious patterns. The uncluttered but striking designs are often enhanced by details that evoke the brand???s more roguish and provocative side: metal logos on micro-pendant shanging off the temples, or the RICH logo applied with strass and coloured enamel.
