Cara Delevingne's rise from model to actress has been marked by a refusal to play it safe — a quality that made her one of fashion's most recognisable figures in the 2010s before she pivoted to screen roles in Paper Towns, Suicide Squad, and Carnival Row. At the Chanel Fashion Show in Paris in 2015, Delevingne wore the Persol PO0649, a frame that embodies the Italian brand's commitment to sculpted craftsmanship and restrained elegance. The PO0649's squared acetate profile and signature arrow hinges give it a distinctly architectural quality — refined without being fragile, assertive without needing to shout.
The dark, glossy frame and tinted lenses grounded Delevingne's front-row look with a polished edge that felt deliberate but not studied. Fashion week seating demands a certain visual confidence, and the Persol delivered with its characteristically precise bridge geometry and balanced proportions. Against the backdrop of Chanel's elaborately staged presentation, the PO0649 held its own — a reminder that Persol's approach to eyewear, rooted in Torino craftsmanship rather than loud branding, rewards those who appreciate the details. Delevingne wore it like someone who understood exactly how much a well-chosen frame can say in a room where everyone is watching.
The Persol PO0649 is an iconic square-frame sunglasses model crafted from high-quality acetate, defined by its bold structure and distinctive keyhole bridge. Originally designed in the 1950s, it features thick rims and the signature Persol arrow at the temples.
Typically equipped with crystal lenses, including polarized options, it provides clear vision and reliable sun protection. The integrated Meflecto system ensures a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear.
