The Guy Laroche GLS 110 is a distinctive 1990s oversized frame with a softly squared silhouette and a warm translucent construction. Its textured peach-toned plaid acetate gives the frame added depth, while the original purple gradient lenses complement its bold proportions and reinforce its unmistakable period character. Preserved in deadstock condition, this example retains its original lenses and vintage construction.

The house introduced ready-to-wear in 1961, expanding its influence beyond haute couture while maintaining its emphasis on sophisticated, wearable design. Vintage Guy Laroche eyewear is documented from the 1970s, including French- and Italian-made frames featuring sculptural acetate shapes, bold proportions, and distinctive decorative details. Its eyewear reflects the house’s broader aesthetic through elegant construction, geometric forms, rich colours, and occasional crystal or metal embellishment.
