The colour palette for Autumn takes in lighter, softer hues of natural brown, translucent crystal, pale pink and purple and grey – artistic marbling and tortoise, tiger and mottled prints are well represented
September welcomes new-season accessories, and fresh directions in style and colour for glamorous spectacles. Tones which are delicate and clean, pared back and natural create a look which is modern and illuminating for the face. Minimal uncomplicated shades with translucence or soft patterns such as marbled or classic tiger or tortoise tones play a key role in collections with a charming creative focus on artisan quality and design. Above: the Seraphin Shimmer collection features ‘Shimmer 24’ – an up-to-date square design available in light, feminine tones of dove, gold or tort. A ‘step-and-repeat’ decoration adds a luxury finish – www.ogieyewear.com
Mottled vintage-inspired effects in acetate radiate with a mix of colours and light reflections. The Marilyn model by Lafont Paris shows the beautiful detail in these acetate finishes, an expression of enduring appeal and timeless grace. www.lafont.com
Transparent acetate materials also highlight the mood of lightness and graceful elegance in designs. In the Kilsgaard collection, subtle statement pieces in acetate, manufactured entirely from prime Japanese acetates all the way from the front to the end tips, come in a colour range of earthy tones, crystal finishes as well as a few more daring shades. In model 09, the frames simple appearance enables a true appreciation of the structure of the fine materials. www.kilsgaard-eyewear.dk
