In every great collection, there is one piece that achieves the impossible balance — the garment that is neither the most restrained nor the most dramatic but somehow more compelling than both, because it exists at the exact point where restraint and drama amplify each other rather than competing. The DSQUARED2 D20135/S 8079O is that piece in the maison's women's eyewear lineup. It doesn't have the compact precision of the D20132/S's size 55, and it doesn't have the theatrical sweep of the D20134/S's size 58 — and that is precisely its genius. The D20135/S occupies the space between with a confidence that makes you wonder why anyone would choose extremes when the center hits this hard. It's the frame that proves, once and for all, that the most compelling position isn't at either end of the spectrum — it's at the exact point where the spectrum folds back on itself and creates something new.

The D20135/S introduces a silhouette that feels distinctly its own while carrying the DSQUARED2 women's design DNA with unmistakable clarity. Where the D20132/S favored a bold brow line balanced by a sensual sweeping lower curve, and the D20134/S leaned into theatrical, face-enveloping drama, the D20135/S charts a third path: a frame of dynamic, angular femininity that carries more edge than either sibling. The shape introduces a sharper geometric temperament — cleaner lines through the mid-frame, a more decisive angularity at the transitions, and a sense of architectural tension that makes the frame feel as though it's holding a perfectly controlled pose rather than simply sitting on the face. The outer corners carry the DSQUARED2 signature lift, but here it reads less as glamour and more as defiance — an upward slash of confidence that refuses to soften itself for anyone's comfort. The size 57 proportions give this angular energy exactly the canvas it needs: enough width for the geometric lines to breathe and assert themselves, enough control to maintain the precision that makes sharp design compelling rather than chaotic. It's a frame that moves the way a well-choreographed performance moves — every angle deliberate, every line earned, every proportion exactly where it was always meant to be.

The 8079O colorway, in the context of the D20135/S's sharper geometry, takes on a character that is distinct from its expression on the other DSQUARED2 women's frames. On the D20132/S, the deep darkness served as a bold foundation for the sensual brow-line architecture. On the D20134/S, it became a monolithic canvas of theatrical drama. On the D20135/S, the 8079O becomes something sharper, more blade-like — a darkness that cuts rather than envelops, that defines boundaries rather than dissolving them. The angular frame lines create edges where the dark acetate meets light at precise angles, producing thin lines of reflected highlight along the frame's geometric transitions — a subtle but electrifying effect that gives the 8079O a kinetic, almost weaponized quality. Against warm Middle Eastern skin tones, this sharp-dark-frame-meets-golden-skin dynamic creates a contrast of extraordinary visual tension — the kind of electrifying juxtaposition that makes people look twice, then a third time, then forget what they were about to say. In Kuwait's extraordinary natural light, the D20135/S's angular surfaces and deep dark colorway interact with a complexity that rewards the observer: the frame seems to shift between absolute darkness and sharp-edged brilliance depending on the angle, creating a living, dynamic quality that flatter, softer frames cannot replicate.

DSQUARED2's Italian artisanal construction ensures that the D20135/S's angular ambitions are supported by structural integrity that matches its visual confidence. The frame's weight distribution has been engineered for the specific proportions and geometric tension of the 57 — a critical calibration that ensures the sharper lines sit with the same all-day comfort as more conventional shapes. The temple architecture features a profile that echoes the frame's angular design language — a streamlined, slightly tapering geometry that provides structural support through the mid-temple while maintaining a sleek, close fit behind the ear. The hinge mechanism operates with the precise, smooth action that distinguishes Italian craftsmanship from every other tradition. And every surface — including those angular transitions that define the D20135/S's character — has been finished to the standard that DSQUARED2's runway heritage demands, because the sharper the design, the more critical the quality of execution becomes. For the Kuwaiti woman who doesn't want the safe predictability of conventional frames, doesn't need the theatrical scale of the oversized, but refuses to settle for anything less than maximum personality — the D20135/S 8079O isn't a compromise between extremes. It's the elimination of the need to choose.

How To Use

1. Putting On — Hold the frame at the bridge with both hands and slide onto your face, positioning the nose pads at the natural high point of your bridge — the size 57 should frame your eyes with confident coverage and the angular geometry should sit symmetrically on both sides, with the defiant outer-corner lift creating equal elevation
2. Fit Verification — The temples should follow the natural contour behind your ears with comfortable, even contact; the frame should sit level and secure without any tendency to slide forward — the angular-geometry weight distribution ensures that the sharper silhouette sits with the same stability as softer frames; visit an optician for complimentary fine-tuning if needed
3. Maximizing the Angular Effect — The D20135/S's geometric transitions create their most compelling visual effect when the frame is perfectly centered — ensure the nose pads position the angular lines symmetrically so the highlight edges along the frame's transitions catch light equally on both sides, maximizing the blade-like quality that makes this frame distinctive
4. Styling the Sharp Frame — The D20135/S's angular energy pairs naturally with equally precise styling — clean lines, structured silhouettes, and intentional details create a cohesive aesthetic; for a fashion-forward contrast, pair the frame's sharp geometry with soft, flowing fabrics that create deliberate tension between hard and soft
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 — the angular transitions where geometric planes meet require particular attention, as these edges can accumulate dust and oils; for the 8079O frame body, wipe weekly with a slightly damp soft cloth to maintain the deep surface quality and the sharp highlight lines that define the D20135/S's blade-like character
6. Storage — Always store in the original DSQUARED2 case when removed — the angular frame geometry requires proper casing that protects the precise geometric transitions from pressure and scratching; avoid storing the frame in positions where the sharper edges press against hard surfaces inside your bag
7. Heat Protection — Never leave on a car dashboard or exposed to Kuwait's extreme interior vehicle temperatures — the D20135/S's precise angular geometry is particularly dependent on structural exactness; even slight softening at the geometric transitions would compromise the frame's signature blade-like character; always store in the case within a shaded or air-conditioned compartment
8. Preserving Geometric Precision — The D20135/S's entire design impact depends on the exactness of its angular transitions and geometric edges — if the frame sustains any impact or pressure that may have altered a transition point or edge, visit an optician promptly; the sharper the design, the more visible any distortion becomes, and the more important it is to restore the precise geometry quickly
