Lindberg Precious

12th September 2011 Continuing with our luxury frame theme, we are pleased to present this stunning new design from the Lindberg Precious collection. Fine, smooth horn and lightweight titanium merge in a contemporary shape, exquisitely crafted. The pure simplicity and flow of the frame expresses both a subtle and a strong statement simultaneously. The Danish based company has amassed international fans for their elegant designs these past 40 years, and regal patronage in their homeland. In 2009, Queen Margrethe II bestowed a Royal Warrant to Lindberg. For further information: www.lindberg.com JG

Limited Edition LE41176

1st September 2011

TD Tom Davies

9th September 2011 Just in on my desk, these elegant sunglasses are as beautiful on the inside as on the outside! With Davies’ amazing technical skills, this design has the appearance of being “reversed” – as if the inside has been transformed onto the frame front. The above design is one of an exciting, bespoke Limited Edition collection in Double Bloc Titanium – an original and beautiful concept that illustrates the artistry of Tom Davies. The frames, for men and women, were originally designed for royalty. I particularly like the classy sculptured frame front, with its gentle flow. Further information at www.tdtomdavies.com JG

Colour and pattern: vintage marbling

1st September 2011

6th September 2011 Gertrud by Isson, with its overtones of the Bauhaus period, has the appearance of marble…these frames, and the others in the collection are made from vintage acetate and feature pearlescent light reflecting finishes in tortoiseshell, flecked patterning, rocks and layered acetate.

Gertrud (above) is pictured in the mouthwatering colour “banana split”, and also comes in “fleckle”, a name that beautifully reflects the effect of the acetate. They are typical examples of this Australian sunglass range and we can’t wait to see them up close! www.isson.com.au

Vintage marbling effects, which look likely to be an interesting trend in the month’s ahead, are also seen in Pierre Eyewear’s collection launching this month…here is a sneak preview of two of the lovely idiosyncratic optical styles by Pierre that come in elegant varieties of deeply coloured/patterned acetate. www.pierre-eyewear.com CN

Accessories: frame holders in wood and horn

1st September 2011

5th September 2011 The French designer Caroline Abram of Filao Paris is to launch these frame holders in horn and wood at the end of September. With so few companies in this field doing original accessory styles, these are worth a look if you can find them! Wood and horn are on-trend materials which are easy and comfortable to wear as frame “holders” or necklaces, very pretty and very practical if you are wearing stylish spectacles or reading glasses you don’t want to put down, and forget where you’ve put them …for more information on this company visit their website, one of our favourite “animated” sites, at www.filaoparis.com CN

Luxury: 14305D Les Annees 80 Series A

1st September 2011

Christian Roth

2nd September 2011 This month we are featuring luxury frames – eyewear designs in exquisite materials and sometimes, with beautiful jewels. Luxury and glamour are benchmarks of the eyewear collections by Christian Roth and Eric Dommage. They possess a genuine feel and flair for elegant shapes, in haute couture materials, masterfully crafted. “The diamonds are definitely real”, says Roth, of the sophisticated frame (above) in hand-made silky black acetate. The diamonds are set in sterling silver on the gently curved frame front. Diamonds – and this frame – are forever! www.christian-roth.com JG
