LDStäel O5 Walnut

Lucas de Stäel

Paris based Lucas de Stäel recently launched his own eyewear collection – and swiftly won a Silmo d’Or for 2012. “Once Upon a Time” is the result of two years of intensive research and testing before unveiling the collection. De Stäel is fascinated with industrial processes, and his goal is to achieve a perfect balance between flexibility, lightness, classicism and purist. The frame above – in smooth polished walnut achieves those goals with its refined, graceful shape, and delicate details. www.undostrial.com JG

Sloane

Claire Goldsmith Legacy

The lovely acetate colour gradations in this frame are so appealing! The play of light and dark, and the “English tea side” temple harmonize into an elegant, romantic shape. The heightened eyebrow treatment is also a significant touch. Sloane is just one outstanding style from the new Claire Goldsmith Legacy collection. www.olivergoldsmith.com JG

EW-TE 227

Theo Antwerp

The new Theo collection is a colour and design feast,  especially this wonderful Houndstooth pattern , which takes its inspiration from the textile pattern. From Theo’s Eye-Witness selection, the design above is crafted with an exotically extended eyebrow, that is beautifully avant-garde, and the free-spirited colour has real zip. This luscious lime green tone is so cool – and so are the other colours – rich burgundy, raspberry, and a deep blue – distinctively Theo! www.theo.be JG

Domiziano

Res/Rei

During Hall of Frames in Zurich, I had the opportunity to see the entire Res/Rei collection, which I admire for its top-notch quality, cutting edge precision, and the beautiful acetates. Domiziano (above) is a perfect example – marbled blue acetate, with a distinguished bridge, combined with stainless steel. Designer Oliviero Zanon takes great pride in creating frames with classical traditions, plus sophisticated chic. www.resrei.com JG
