These sunglasses were inspired by the memory of my grandparents' sunglasses. It may seem strange, but I consider the retro or old-school sun-glass style to have a much more aggressive and appealing look than the sunglasses of today. At least for men like myself, the straighter edges and darker colors seem to be much more exiting and interesting, perhaps more electric. Probably the change towards rounder shapes occurred when designers started to obsess with ergonomics and the curves of the human body, but if the glasses are adequately designed I see no reason for them to be completely round. In fact, it is the hard contrast between these sunglasses and the shape of the user's head that makes the shape so intriguing. The edges are filleted but the form still is very strong and its angles are still quite powerful. I named them "Capo", as in the original gang leaders of the Italian Mafia because I projected the glasses to look like what an Italian mobster would've perhaps worn back in the day.
I have made an update: I posted the scans of the orthographic and isometric views and placed the isometric views on the last board containing my rendered views. I also improved the board in which the picture frames appeared at the center, moving them to the sides of my design for a better visualization.
