“Christian Dior” 2000’s Cutout temple oversized sunglasses

Since its founding in 1947, Christian Dior has pursued a balance between the architectural structure that characterizes the New Look and the decorative elements that beautifully enhance the female form, and we are pleased to present a piece whose sculptural beauty reflects the spirit of the era.

This piece vividly reflects the sensibility of the late 2000s to the early 2010s. Regarding the period, the full-name serif inscription of Christian Dior on the inside of the temple, the oval-shaped CD logo piece near the outer hinge, and the hollowed construction that makes the resin appear light against the larger shape all come together, making it natural to regard this as an example from the late 2000s to around 2012.

The front is designed with a bold oversized profile, and the lens shape, with softly softened corners toward a square, gives a strong impression around the face while never tipping into an overly harsh expression—an exquisite balance. The bridge forms a smoothly connected, integrated silhouette, so the front view flows beautifully, and it embodies the maison's elegance that goes beyond mere oversized sunglasses.

The material uses translucent resin, and the olive-tinted brown hue can appear deep or light depending on how the light hits, providing a sense of openness against the heavy form. Furthermore, the colorway naturally transitions to brown gradient lenses, adding shading around the face while blending with the skin and attire, making it easy to incorporate into daily wear.

What is particularly striking is the temple construction: the inner side is cut away in a large opening, giving three-dimensional depth and translucency to the profile, creating a futuristic mood typical of the 2000s while the appearance remains highly refined. The metal CD parts adorning this area are understated yet carry a definite presence, and by integrating the logo into the shaping rather than flaunting it, they transform into a sense of elegance that is very Dior.

In recent years, minimalist eyewear has become mainstream, but this kind of era-specific volume and resin use is regaining appreciation, and among them this piece does not simply return to a trend but faithfully conveys the glamour and experimental spirit that luxury of the 2000s possessed. The balance during this transitional period where the elegance established by Monsieur Dior overlaps with later modern sensibilities is a unique added value of this item.

In terms of styling, pairing with a crisp tailored jacket or a shirt with a relaxed drape adds the right amount of tension around the face and leads to a refined impression; even simply pairing with a long coat, a smooth-knit dress, or a minimalist setup will naturally elevate the mood to a chic, fashion-forward vibe. If you adopt a genderless approach, pairing with high-quality slacks or a sharp leather bag will create a silhouette with contours without being overly adorned.

We invite you to seize this opportunity.
