The ICON collection exists because Dean and Dan Caten believe that some frames deserve to be separated from the rest — elevated, designated, acknowledged as the purest expression of what DSQUARED2 can achieve when it stops designing for a season and starts designing for a legacy. The ICON0006/S 807IR is the women's manifestation of that conviction — a frame that carries the weight of the ICON name with a feminine authority so complete, so self-possessed, that the designation feels less like a marketing category and more like a simple statement of fact. This is not DSQUARED2 making women's eyewear. This is DSQUARED2 making DSQUARED2 eyewear for a woman — and the distinction matters, because the ICON0006/S refuses every convention that says women's sunglasses should be softer, smaller, or less ambitious than men's. It is every bit as confident, every bit as provocative, and every bit as uncompromising as the ICON0003/S — and in some dimensions, it's even more daring.

The ICON0006/S silhouette introduces a feminine geometry that is distinctly its own within the ICON collection's design vocabulary. Where the ICON0003/S pursued rectangular-geometric masculine authority, the ICON0006/S channels a different kind of power — one that is more architectural, more sculptural, more deliberately artistic in its relationship with the face. The frame shape carries a bold, decisive geometry through the upper half — a strong, defined brow line that announces its presence with the kind of unapologetic confidence that DSQUARED2's most devoted female clients have always recognized as the maison's signature. But as the lines descend, they soften into a curve that is both sensual and structural — a sweeping lower lens profile that introduces warmth and feminine grace without surrendering the authoritative energy established at the brow. The outer corners carry a subtle but unmistakable upward lift — not a retro cat-eye but a modern, architectural elevation that adds vertical dynamism and a face-lifting effect that makes the ICON0006/S as flattering as it is formidable. The size 53 lens width is a deliberate choice that serves the frame's character: compact enough to create the kind of intimate, face-hugging closeness that draws the viewer in, yet proportioned with enough presence to carry the bold brow line and architectural geometry with commanding confidence.

The 807IR colorway is the ICON0006/S's most transcendent feature and the element that justifies every superlative in the DSQUARED2 vocabulary. The designation "IR" — the same chromatic code that signaled something extraordinary in the D20137/S's 2M2IR — here introduces an even more sophisticated expression of DSQUARED2's colorway philosophy. The base tone is a deep, authoritative darkness — a near-midnight foundation that provides the dramatic, high-contrast framing against warm Middle Eastern skin tones that the Gulf market prizes above all others. But within this darkness lives something remarkable: an iridescent dimension that surfaces when the light catches the acetate at particular angles, producing subtle, shifting flashes of warm color — hints of deep plum, flashes of midnight copper, whispers of bruised violet — that emerge and recede as you move through different lighting environments. This isn't a surface coating or a simple color shift — it's a proprietary acetate formulation that embeds iridescent particles within the dark matrix, creating a frame that appears to contain a secret, a hidden world of color that only reveals itself under the right conditions. In Kuwait's extraordinary natural light, the 807IR performs with a complexity that rewards every glance: indoors, it reads as sophisticated, commanding darkness; in direct sunlight, the iridescent dimension ignites, producing flashes of warm color that seem to emanate from within the frame; during the golden hours that transform the Gulf skyline, the interplay between the dark base, the iridescent flashes, and the ambient amber light creates an effect that is genuinely, breathtakingly beautiful — a frame that appears to be wearing the sunset.

DSQUARED2's Italian artisanal construction ensures that the ICON0006/S's artistic ambitions are matched by structural excellence and wearing comfort that honor the ICON designation. The frame's weight distribution has been specifically calibrated for the bold brow-line and size 53 proportions — a critical engineering balance that prevents the heavier upper frame from creating nose-bridge pressure while maintaining the secure, close-to-the-face stability that the compact dimensions demand. The temple design incorporates the ICON collection's distinctive branding with a refinement appropriate to the women's frame — present, confident, but never overwhelming the 807IR's extraordinary chromatic performance. The hinge mechanism operates with the precise, smooth action that distinguishes Italian artisanal construction from every other tradition. And every surface — including the 807IR's complex iridescent-dark finish — has been treated with the level of attention that the ICON name demands, because a colorway this sophisticated, this layered, this alive deserves a level of execution that preserves every nuance of its light-reactive character. For the Kuwaiti woman who understands that true icon status isn't about being the most visible — it's about being the most unforgettable — the ICON0006/S 807IR isn't just a frame. It's a phenomenon.

Why Customers Love It

• Darkness With a Secret — The 807IR appears as commanding midnight darkness until the light catches it just right — then it ignites with flashes of hidden color that make you feel like you're wearing a frame that only you truly know
• The ICON That Earns It — Every element of the ICON0006/S — from the bold brow to the 807IR colorway to the Italian construction — justifies the name; it's not marketing, it's a description of what the frame achieves
• Compact But Unforgettable — The size 53 proves that you don't need oversized drama to be the most compelling frame in the room — the ICON0006/S draws people closer with an intimacy that bigger frames can't create
• Iridescent in Gulf Light — Kuwait's extraordinary light spectrum — from brilliant desert sun to amber golden hours — provides the perfect stage for the 807IR's hidden colors to emerge, making the frame perform differently in its adopted home than anywhere else on earth
• Fierce Without Masculine — The bold brow line delivers the authority typically reserved for men's frames, but the sweeping lower curve and architectural lift keep the design unapologetically, magnetically feminine
• The Frame People Can't Describe — When someone asks about your sunglasses, they struggle to find the words — "It's dark but it's not just dark, there's something else, something that catches the light..." — and that inability to categorize is the most genuine form of admiration

Best For

• Occasion: Daily luxury wear, creative professional settings, evening occasions, cultural events, art openings, intimate dinners, fashion-forward gatherings, and any moment where your eyewear should project fierce feminine authority and chromatic sophistication in equal measure
• Season: Year-round spellbinding presence — the 807IR's deep darkness feels sharp and commanding in Kuwait's brilliant summers, the iridescent flashes add warmth and complexity to cooler-weather ensembles, and the golden hours of every season unlock the colorway's most breathtaking expressions
• Gender: Women
• Face Shape: Flattering across oval, round, heart, and square faces; the bold brow line adds structure and vertical lift to softer features while the sweeping lower curve maintains feminine grace on more angular bone structures — the architectural outer-corner lift enhances cheekbone definition and creates a face-elevating effect
• Style/Personality: The woman of hidden dimensions — she who reveals her depths gradually rather than announcing them, who understands that the most magnetic presence is the one that makes people want to look closer, and who wears her confidence like the 807IR wears its iridescence — as a secret that only the right light can unlock
• Lifestyle: Creative leaders, fashion insiders, art collectors, cultural curators, and women who treat their accessories as the most intimate and expressive dimension of their personal style — not as performance but as revelation
• Skin Tone: The 807IR's deep darkness creates dramatic, high-contrast framing against warm, olive, and golden Middle Eastern complexions, while the iridescent flashes of plum, copper, and violet create a sophisticated warm-cool dialogue with the skin's undertones — the hidden colors seem to emerge from the same warm palette as the complexion, making the iridescence feel like a natural extension of the wearer's own glow

How To Use

1. Putting On — Hold the frame gently at the bridge with both hands and slide onto your face, positioning the nose pads at the natural high point of your bridge — the bold brow line should sit just above your eyebrows, framing them with authority, and the architectural outer-corner lift should create equal elevation on both sides
2. Fit Verification — The temples should trace smoothly behind your ears with comfortable, even contact; the frame should sit level and secure with no tendency to slide forward — the brow-line-optimized weight distribution ensures the bold upper frame doesn't create pressure; visit an optician for complimentary fine-tuning if any instability occurs
3. Unlocking the 807IR — The iridescent dimension is the frame's greatest reward and deserves conscious attention — move between different lighting environments and observe how the hidden colors surface: under cool fluorescent light, the frame appears as sophisticated near-darkness; in direct sunlight, the plum and copper flashes emerge; during golden hour, the iridescence catches the warm ambient light and produces an effect that is genuinely, arrestingly beautiful. Experience all three to appreciate the full range of this extraordinary colorway
4. Styling the Iridescent Dark — The 807IR's hidden chromatic dimension gives you exceptional styling range — pair with warm gold jewelry to echo the copper flashes, with cool silver or rose gold to complement the plum and violet tones, or with mixed metals that mirror the frame's own warm-cool duality; the colorway adapts to whatever metallic palette you choose
5. Cleaning — Always rinse lenses with lukewarm water first to remove fine Kuwaiti sand and dust particles before wiping; gently clean with the provided DSQUARED2 microfiber cloth using soft circular motions — for the 807IR frame body, wipe weekly with a slightly damp soft cloth using gentle pressure; the iridescent particles embedded within the acetate are protected by the surface layer, but any residue or film on the exterior can diminish the light transmission that makes the iridescence visible; keeping the surface pristine is essential for preserving the colorway's most extraordinary feature
6. Storage — Always return to the original DSQUARED2 case when removing — the 807IR's complex iridescent-dark finish is more visually affected by surface marks and scratches than single-tone frames, making protective casing essential for preserving the pristine surface that enables the hidden-color effect
7. Heat Protection — Never leave on a car dashboard or exposed to Kuwait's extreme interior vehicle temperatures — the 807IR's embedded iridescent particles and complex acetate formulation can be compromised by sustained extreme heat; the ICON0006/S's precise geometry and sophisticated colorway both depend on structural and material integrity; always store in the case within a shaded or air-conditioned compartment
8. Preserving the Iridescent Dimension — The 807IR's hidden-color character depends on the acetate surface remaining in pristine condition and the embedded iridescent particles maintaining their light-reactive properties — avoid contact with harsh chemicals including perfume, strong sunscreen formulations, and hair products that can create surface residue or react with the acetate; if any substance contacts the frame, rinse immediately with lukewarm water and dry gently with a soft cloth
