The collection reflects Balmain&#8217;s signature golden medallions and rich tones showcased throughout each runway show the designer hosts.<\/p>\n<p>Balmain&#8217;s designers Olivier Rousteing showcased the eyewear back in January 2020 during their Fall\/Winter runway collection and again in Balmain&#8217;s Sring\/Summer runway this year, where almost every model was wearing a new frame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe at Akoni Group, pride ourselves with an unwavering commitment to the highest-level of Japanese craftmanship, as well as a reliance on nothing but the finest of materials. This singular engagement to the most rigorous of quality controls is reflected in the collection\u2019s exceptional design, engineering and perfect fit\u2014and those same essential engagements help explain why each frame can only be produced in very limited quantities. The first edition of the Wonder Boy design, for example, will consist of only 777 units, worldwide, with each limited edition frame numbered and sold exclusively at select retail stores and Balmain boutiques.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-gallery\"><div class=\"gallery-placeholder\"><div class=\"spinner\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"gallery-pagination\"><\/span><div id=\"gallery-1\" class=\"gallery galleryid-6433 gallery-columns- gallery-size-\"><figure class=\"gallery-item\"><div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8736\" height=\"11648\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/MARIYPEPELANOVA20201209BALMAIN_MP_25_038.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/figure><figure class=\"gallery-item\"><div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8483\" height=\"11311\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/MARIYPEPELANOVA20201209BALMAIN_STILL-LIFE-BAGS_089.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/figure><figure class=\"gallery-item\"><div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"7928\" height=\"10571\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/MARIYPEPELANOVA20201209BALMAIN_MP_33_051.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/figure><figure class=\"gallery-item\"><div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8476\" height=\"11301\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/MARIYPEPELANOVA20201209BALMAIN_STILL-LIFE-BAGS_092.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/figure><figure class=\"gallery-item\"><div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8736\" height=\"11648\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/MARIYPEPELANOVA20201209BALMAIN_MP_73_032.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Akoni Group design team and Olivier worked closely together to ensure that shared sensibility and deliver precision-engineered, cutting edge polarized styles\u201d, shares Rosario Toscano, Akoni Group\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n<p>The Balmain eyewear collection is now available exclusively in Magrabi stores across Dubai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29162,"featured_media":6434,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[65,35],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Balmain Eyewear By Akoni Group Is Now Available In The Middle East<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Creative director Olivier Rousteing and Swiss eyewear brand Akoni Group have officially joined forces to bring forth Balmain\u2019s first-ever ultra-luxe eyewear collection in the Middle East.
