Icons and Innovators in Copenhagen

The Copenhagen fair this weekend promises a hand-picked selection of some of the best eyewear to hit 2016 from Scandinavia, Europe and the USA, exhibiting in the Lokomotivvaerksted, a historic venue with an industrial ambiance. Eyestylist.com looks forward to visiting the fair for the first time.

One of several French companies taking part in the show, Jean-François Rey will show Line 1985 (pictured above, style Officer 6565), a limited edition of glasses and sunglasses, which reference iconic models launched in 1985 via original drawings. Current manufacturing processes and materials bring a new interpretation, combining quality, comfort and lightness.
