A 1970s makeover in women’s eyewear brings back the XXL statement styles
Larger frames, thicker rims and an overall bold appearance, with geometric, playful details are in for 2022, as designers enjoy a celebration of eye-catching eyewear that draws attention to, and “frames” the face. For women, the styles are based on the large oval or geometric multi-sided vintage designs with exciting structures. Above: a new campaign from JF Rey, featuring the JF1514, a frame with a strong 70s vibe, that illustrates the look that’s back in vogue
The model JF 1514 shows the way in which these graphic styles can now feel modern. An oversized and angular front is combined with chunky acetate temples in contrasting thicknesses. Rich graduated colours and transparencies, also inspired by the 70s, are featured with the occasional flash or glow of ultra modern neon (see top image). JF Rey is a French eyewear design company, with a wide selection of on-trend styles and colourful acetate frames. Find out more at www.jfrey.fr
