New Looks: Style and Character
23rd August 2013 Most teens are fashion aware and like to wear what is cool. Specialist eyewear designers meet this need with teen collections that feature fresh and creative styling and colours. Lafont Paris has a distinguished eyewear history for youngsters, with contemporary shapes and unique touches that appeal to budding style setters. Mia (above) is a sleek acetate design, and a distinctive accent is the playful colouration on the frame interior. www.lafont.com

A variety of styles and colours permeate the JF Rey teen collection, also from France. Jasper (above) in acetate and metal has a vintage air with its engraved metal side inserts. The tone-on-tone effect ensures a design with a sophisticated, grownup spirit. www.jfrey.fr JG
