Trends Under The Sun For Children

Tangy Orange Sorbet Frames from EK

31st May 2012 Emmanuelle’s Khanh’s sunglasses are bursting with joy and cheer – the bright orange colour has enormous child appeal. So does the shape. Small, round forms are a favourite with the young set (and their parents too!) so this design (style 1507) allows kids to feel very cool – and the shape is ideal for little faces. EK frames are handmade in France, and the quality and beauty of the acetate is assured. More stunning EK frames can be seen at www.emmanuellekhanhparis.com JG

Sensational Summer Blue by Face à Face

29th May 2012 Face à Face excels in colour – and for summer, this glorious blue is just wonderful! Lolly is crafted in shimmering sea blue acetate, in a bold, dramatic shape, and capped with a touch of cappuccino on the temples. The design is modern and free, yet a strong hint of Retro prevails, and the result is an outstanding frame. I’m ready for the beach in Lolly! www.faceaface-paris.com JG

Trends Under The Sun For Children

Finger in the Nose + Vuarnet = super sunnies!

28th May 2012 Trendy children’s fashion company Finger in the Nose has teamed with Vuarnet, French designers of legendary eyewear, to create a stylish collection of sunglasses. Kids will enjoy wearing this design (above Surfer in ivory acetate) that is a reincarnation of a Vuarnet frame that captured the 1980’s surfing influence. Children will respond to the look of the frames that compliment the contemporary image of Finger in the Nose clothing, and parents will be delighted with the quality of the acetate, and sun protection with unbreakable lenses. www.fingerinthenose.com. www.vuarnet.com JG
