When it comes to fashion, we are very much Iris Law-abiding. As well as being a regular on front rows across the globe, the model, actor and food reviewer (see: her highly snackable TikTok content) is used to making and breaking fashion rules. Whether she’s showing off her new blonde buzzcut, throwing a dress over jeans or bringing back tartan tights, we – and her 765,999 other Instagram followers – have all eyes on Law.
Now, Iris has made a new decree: wear Versace glasses. She’s the star of the Italian fashion house’s new SS24 eyewear campaign, showcasing five pairs of shades and specs. As well as being lensed for a series of opulent stills, Law appears in a selection of jazz-scored shorts, her face centred amongst candy-tone checkerboards, gazing nonchalantly back at us.
The Battenberg-style backdrop also references the pastel check print from Versace’s SS24 collection, first previewed in September last year, during Milan Fashion Week. The show took inspiration from the sensual glamour of the ‘90s Supers era, coloured with silky baby-blue jackets, leather knee-high boots, sharpened tailoring, and this very range of eyewear.
Three pairs of sunnies feature in the collection. First up is a retro-futuristic pair, fitted with square frames and a chunky, blocky construction. The second style is a shade sleeker, complete with an eye-popping milled front. Chic! Completing the trio is a wraparound, mask-style model with cutout temples, ideal for high-octane sports or soirées alike.
The eyeglasses are equally spectacular. The first pair features an eye-catching cat-eye profile and a tonal medallion on the side for added decadence. The second is a geometric, angular pair of specs softened with bevelled contours, perfect for power dressing or, say, a guaranteed promotion.
Naturally, all five models are emblazoned with Versace’s signature Medusa logo, an optical allusion to the house’s baroque aesthetic. Plus, pesky virgin plastic is swapped out for bio-based nylon and premium recycled acetate, giving a new lease of life to used materials. And, it’s hard-wearing, meaning that your new pair of sunnies endure.
As well as white and black, four of the five glasses are available in a delicious strawberry-milkshake hue. The result? A coquettish look, complemented in the campaign by Law’s Gianni ribbon headband and hyper-gworl beauty. But it’s also, obviously, a fancy affair, exuding that sense of loud luxury that’s so very Versace. So, treat your own irises and get yourself a pair. It’s Law, after all.
