The French artisan label’s Autumn/Winter shapes in acetate extend this collection of modern classics – the entrepreneurial co-founders and brothers, Germain and Alexis Bouchara enthused about good times at Silmo 2022 as we took their portraits for our exclusive series.
Quintessential artisan eyewear created with a contemporary point of view was one of the niche areas of particular interest once again at the optical trade fair, Silmo, which takes place annually in Paris. Such frames – from small independent labels – are produced with a keen eye, a developed understanding of the history of eyewear fused with modern influences from other areas such as art, architecture and product design. Home-grown label Lunettes ALF is one such example, with a particular lean towards timeless quality and longevity and less emphasis on seasonal trends and fashion, a direction that is picking up pace.
Three new shapes are added in the Japanese acetate collection at Lunettes ALF, with the progression of the classic colour palette which currently includes more than three variations of tortoise/Havana, black, an olive-like green and crystal.
All sun lenses at Lunettes ALF are photochromic mineral glass which is scratch resistant as well as providing excellent optical quality.
Lunettes ALF are poised to present their first metal collection, being produced in Japan, in 2023 – watch this space for their exclusive news. Eyestylist spoke to Lunettes ALF at Silmo 2022 (Paris).
