An eye on what’s new

Setting the Eyewear Pace for 2012

16th January 2012 This weekend’s show Opti-Munich 2012 launched the new eyewear year with an international line up of extremely desirable designer frames that captivated Clodagh and I. We discovered some new companies, and found great styles from our favourite designers. Pretty pastels are a welcome trend, along with shimmering acetates in gorgeous translucent tones. Vintage is fabulous and forever – Austrian designer Lena Hoschek (above – style SO11) loves vintage for eyewear, as well as her fashion collection, which graces the catwalks in Berlin this week. Watch this space for more fab frames launched in Munich that will soon be in boutiques. For more information on Lena Hoschek, visit www.robert-laroche.com JG
