Persol releases a special edition collection to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Federico Fellini�s legendary film La Dolce Vita, one of the most iconic movies in Italian cinema. Persol sunglasses were the sunglasses of choice seen on all the actors in Fellini�s films. The collection, fittingly termed �La Dolce Vita�, features two vintage inspired models meant to capture the style and charm of Rome in the 1960�s (the setting of the film).
The Persol 2978/S, offered here, is a classic shape given a vintage feel with its sleek rounded corners. To commemorate the collection the inside temple bares a metal �Heritage Plaque� with the year Persol was established (1917).
