Persol’s El Profesor Sergio sunnies have a slight retro look to them thanks to the double nose bar, reminiscent of the Italian brand’s 1930s design. We like the tortoiseshell (caffé) frames with the green lenses.

In Tom Ford, classic black and beautifully slipcased, the iconic designer tells the story of his creative reinvigoration of the Italian label Gucci. Newly published, a white slipcased Tom Ford 002 is a visual ode to the juggernaut that the brand has become. It’s black and white: You need both volumes. (Insider tip: Rizzoli is promising a deluxe box set of both volumes perfectly tailored for gifting, see the website for release information.)
