The new all wheel drive compact from Mercedes-Benz with precision performance
Announced today and spotted outside Stuttgart, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG marks several new achievements for the performance brand. Following up on the recently launched A-Class, the elegant new compact features all wheel drive, an efficient 2.0-litre engine and marks the first time the precision performance of AMG has been offered in a compact car in its 45-year history. This firm step for Mercedes-Benz introduces the brand to a new demographic of urban dwellers targeted by the accessibly priced A-Class.
While the 2.0-litre four cylinder engine may not win every impromptu drag-race, the AMG Speedshift DCT 7-speed transmission ensures the A45 AMG still behaves with the expected performance synonymous with those three iconic letters. To further enhance peak handling the compact car’s weight has been kept to a minimum and its wheel base reduced to the shortest in the overall compact A-class lineup. “Weight combined with wheel base, with the attraction of the all wheel drive system…in the end it will be the most agile AMG car,” says Mercedes-Benz Senior Manager of Product Management and Product Strategy Thomas Rappel. “In terms of handling and autocross, I think this car could set the benchmark in the whole portfolio.”
Expected to make its worldwide debut in Spring 2013, the agile A45 AMG will shine as the top-of-the-range A-Class model and is expected to be followed closely by additional AMG compact cars currently in development. As part of the new A-Class the A45 AMG will list at an accessible price point while still performing on par with the higher priced AMG branded cars.
Nine pairs of new shades from international designers both known and new
This season’s round of eyewear collaborations has brought some of the brightest yet. Well-crafted frames with distinct fashion sensibilities are coming down the pipeline, along with unexpected but welcomed creative match-ups and revivals of yesteryear’s iconic brands. Whether straight from the runway or made for fun in the sun, these nine pairs capture the essence of sunglasses and the upcoming summer season.
Sunpocket enjoyed massive popularity—on and off the slopes—with its foldable sunglasses during the 1980s. The formerly French brand was relaunched last year in Sweden, in sync with growing interest in vintage and niche shades. Gaining a bit of street cred, Sunpocket collaborated with A Bathing Ape for a limited-edition release in matte army green and polarized lenses. Order them from Zozotown for ¥11,340 ($142).
The current face of Barton Perreira, actor Giovanni Ribisi graduates to co-designer of two styles for the optical label. Lending much more than his name, he submitted his own 3D renderings of the designs. The Ribisi is a modern-vintage take on the round frame with its sleek lines, classic acetates, and mineral glass lenses. (The other style, the Giovanni, will hit stores later this year.) In stock at Context Clothing for $480.
Deflect the sun’s rays and stares with cool detachment in these mirrored shades from Richard Nicoll and Ksubi. The frames’ metallic matte finish and coordinating lanyard add an extra dose of flash. A part of Nicoll’s spring 2012 women’s collection, they’e inspired by “L’Enfer,” the never-completed French cinematic masterpiece. Available soon from a selection of to-be-announced stockists for around $340.
British online retailer ASOS recently unveiled its collection with Mauricio Stein, a Brazilian eyewear designer noted for his offbeat label, MauStein, and numerous collaborations. Starting at $82, each pair—like this one with teardrop-shaped lenses and cutout detailing—has the eccentric stylings of boutique frames without the sticker shock. Visit ASOS to purchase.
Parisian kidswear brand Finger in the Nose teamed up with France’s Vuarnet to create stylish sunglasses for children. The result: scaled-down versions of Vaurnet’s best-known shades just in time for summer. This includes the Cateye, as worn by ski racer Jean Vuarnet during his triumphant run at the 1960 Winter Olympics, and the Surfer, pictured here in gray tortoise. They sell from Finger in the Nose webstore for €114 ($151).
Interior designer and all-around fashion icon Iris Apfel is unmistakably recognizable in her larger-than-life spectacles, so her partnership with Eyebobs makes total sense. The generously oval-shaped Iris takes after Apfel’s trademark frames and comes in three colorways and standard polarized lenses. At $99 through Eyebobs, the sunglasses are also priced to benefit Lighthouse International, a nonprofit supporting those suffering from vision loss.
Perhaps Illesteva’s sunniest collab to date—as well as designer Zac Posen’s first venture into sunwear—these shades have created a buzz with their unabashedly retro, ready-for-the-beach vibe. Here in leopard, the cat-eye silhouette is a can’t-miss homage to the 1960s, a style Illesteva had a hand in making popular. Rumor has it they will appear at Colette, Opening Ceremony, and directly from Illesteva for $300.
British designer Giles never shies away from the playful in his line of womenswear. He goes full-tilt extravagant with the Sonic, nodding to “a Victorian mechanical silver swan” and cygnets. Like every pair from Cutler and Gross, the hand-cut acetate fronts and temples are tumbled in a barrel for several days for just the right amount of smoothness and edges. Cutler and Gross has the sunglasses for $525.
It’s hard to keep tabs on all of the Linda Farrow designer collaborations out there. From the look-at-me outrageousness of Jeremy Scott to the spare sophistication of the Row, the resurrected eyewear company has become a go-to collaborator for hip fashion labels. For Kris Van Assche’s current men’s collection, bold experimentation meets understatement in the form of a subtle oil-rainbow effect. For a list of retailers visit Kris Van Assche directly or see them now at Linda Farrow’s e-shop for $516.
