Surf-ing sunglasses at School of Comics, Turin
15th June 2013 Nico Design presents a new series of images featuring design students from the International School of Comics, Turin. The shoot will appear in the next issue of the Vanni Magazine, which is out next week on the Vanni website; we absolutely love the pictures featuring comics and art works by the young artists, and we thank Nico Design for sharing them with Eyestylist.com and providing exclusive images.
The girls are wearing Vanni’s Surf-ing sunglasses (above), a new style for 2013 that delivers a youthful design and a yearning for hot summer days. Fitted with graduated nylon lenses developed in soft tones that match each frame colour, the collection cleverly reworks the texture of rock in metal, incorporating both a hammered effect and a high gloss finish.

Leisure Society, America
Shane Baum at Leisure Society expresses supreme elegance in his design Du Cap. The name is a tribute to the fabulous Hotel Du Cap on the French Rivera, the inspiration for this beautiful frame in titanium and acetate. The titanium temples deserve special mention – they are plated in gold, accented with coloured enamel, and elaborately etched with precise detail. The Mountain Tortoise acetate is achieved with a Tokyo tortoise base, with blacks and yellows, and the top half is then accented with a subtle layer of gold flakes. www.leisuresociety.com JG

Moo Eyewear
From designer Moo Piyasombatkul in Thailand, a style from the fashion collection for Spring/Summer, Candy Baroque. The design uses a vintage frame with the addition of Moo’s custom-made baroque porcelain detailing. The gradient brown lenses have been chosen to match the vintage frame for a tone-on-tone effect. Piyasombatkul is a well known face at London and Paris fashion weeks and her frames are adored by some very select fashion circles. Find a wide choice of Moo’s styles at the savvy online store www.sunglasscurator.com, which specialises in fashion collections and leading creative designers, including Linda Farrow, Moo Eyewear and a-morir.

Linda Farrow Collaboration
Cat eyes are still a leading shape in sunwear and this slim and very pretty one catches my imagination, with its special silver-coloured stud work on a thick curved scalloped ridge. This is a piece by Linda Farrow for Agent Provocateur, London’s luxury lingerie emporium.
The frame comes in 6 colours of which three are brights, such as the matt pink pictured here and two are pastels (dark blush or champagne with gold); there is also a more restrained black for a different style of event or a nice trans-seasonal choice. Available online at www.lindafarrow.com CN

a-morir
Kerin Rose has become one very busy New York designer and her online store is a world of excitement and beauty! I like the neat eye shape and catty elegance of Mitchell, with its joyful orange neon pearls and Swarovski crystal cup chain embellishment. This, like the others by a-morir is a made-to-order piece….from around $350. The chic styling is also available in two other shapes, Redding and Hendrix, with yellow or pink neon trims. All three are investment pieces to delight the eyes and particularly those of the beholder – wild but totally wearable. More please Ms. Rose!

Oliver Goldsmith
First released in 1972, Colt is a reedition of an Oliver Goldsmith aviator style in metal – it is one of just two metal designs being relaunched by the OG team, and it has all the ingredients of one of those design classics, including the original OG buttons on the temple tips. This is no ordinary aviator. It is a prestigious design with all the quality traits of the acetates by Oliver Goldsmith that designer Claire Goldsmith so beautifully reinterprets and brings into a new era. A fashion crowd pleaser, for sure! www.olivergoldsmith.com CN

Thierry Lasry
Our choice of fashionista styles would not be complete without a bold Lasry statement design such as Milfy in tortoise. I saw some of Lasry’s styles recently in Dover Street Market and was reminded of the silky finish of the acetate used and the fact that the designer loves bold statement colour, but also makes some very classy more understated colour combinations that have lasting appeal. A label that’s adored by the glitterati and that sticks by the tradition and quality in designer eyewear. www.thierrylasry.com CN
