Jablon has coaxed Farrow out of retirement to launch the Iconic Collection, a series of limited edition reissues that celebrates her trailblazing career in fashion. First up is the Lila, an early 1970s, oversized rimless frame featuring colorful beveled lenses that marry sharp angles with swooping curves. Originally crafted from stainless steel, the style is now available in 22 carat gold-plated Japanese titanium with seven shade options for the lenses, including sunset gradient and aqua. She and Jablon narrowed down hundreds of archival candidates.

“We wanted to start with one that felt very unique,” says Farrow.

“—and also something that looks great on my mother as she is the model,” adds Jablon.

In the lookbook, Farrow looks inimitably chic in tailored pieces from her own closet, styled with her vintage 1970s diamond dial Audemars Piguet watch and By Alona gold jewelry. Although it was her first time stepping in front of camera for her brand, family photos show her modelling her signature oversize frames from Lake Como to Mallorca. On set, it was Farrow’s idea to style a plum, popcorn knit Dries Van Noten top with a pair of purple Lilas, and a terracotta Haider Ackermann button-up with camel Lilas. “Fashion was changing radically in the ’70s, but sunglasses still just came in black and brown tortoiseshell, and so I got the idea to offer all of these different colors,” she says. “It got to a point where people would buy many pairs just to match with their clothing.”
