Summer may be the only season when we truly realise how little we need to feel good. While the rest of the year is filled with obligations, deadlines, meetings, and overflowing closets, a few days away remind us that life’s best moments are often the simplest ones. A terrace by the sea, a morning coffee in a city we do not know well enough, an evening walk without a plan, a view of the horizon from a hotel room...

Some people are remembered for their smile. Others for their voice. Others still for the way they walk. And then there are those we remember for their glasses. Just think of a photograph of a young James Dean leaning against a car with dark sunglasses on. Or Steve McQueen on a motorcycle. Or Gianni Agnelli aboard a yacht. We may not remember exactly what they were wearing that day, but we remember the glasses.
