Elegant, Sensuous Shapes
22nd May 2015 “Summer Afternoon – summer afternoon, to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” (Said by Henry James to Mrs. Edith Wharton)
Summer days inspire poems, music and literature – leisure, sunshine, nature’s abundance and seaside pleasures all contribute to the splendour of the season. On the fashion scene, sunglasses are summer magic for the eyes. Award-winning Swedish designer Anna-Karin Karlsson loves glamour, beauty and a dab of extravagance in her gorgeous sunglasses. In the photo above, the man wears Shady, flourishing in black and gold. On the right, the marvellous When Trouble Comes to Town is magnificently expressive in its exaggerated silhouette. www.annakarinkarlsson.com
Susanne Klemm at Suzy Glam has created an elegant frame especially for men. The contemporary shape in Rocks this Town is superbly crafted with sleek lines in glossy, high quality black acetate with blue lenses. Refined, sophisticated luxury, handmade in Italy. www.suzyglam.com Photo: Exclusively for Eyestylist.com by Max Gudczinski
Sunshine is a natural substance in Southern California, and l.a. Eyeworks sets the scene for sunny days everywhere with “Two By Four” – a striking design in Brown Tortoise Stripe with Gunmetal. The precise construction, handcrafted in Japan, makes for a finely built two-in-one: the frame combines an ophthalmic chassis with an integrated flip-up sun clip. www.laeyeworks.com
Acclaimed seaside locations inspired Coppe+Sid when they designed their lovely sunglass collection for 2015 – a Limited Edition in elegant acetate in exclusive colours. Mikonos in Sunrise is crafted in Italy in a timeless shape, in stunning Mediterranean Blue that reflects the glow of the island for which the frame is named. www.eyedesignclub.com
A beautiful interpretation of Midnight Blue is expressed stylishly in Zero 07 by Finest Seven. The voluminous silhouette with its graceful curves in smooth acetate is accented with three microns of gold on the temples, and chic gold mirrored lenses. A glamorous affirmation for summer and sunny pleasures! www.finestseven.com JG
