For the colder season, these multi-toned designs with interesting sculptural silhouettes are a beautiful addition to a winter wardrobe
In the independent collections, designers continue to expand their design work with exceptional interpretations of colour, only possible with the use of the highest quality coloured acetates. Frames with this character and artisan flair make the perfect antidote to cold winter weather – bringing warmth to our natural features with their spectacular details and highlighting personality through an astounding combination of interesting, solid and translucent tones. Above: model Omega in the Avantgarde series by henau eyewear comes in some intriguing combinations; the frame has a vertical gradient colour effect on the front paired with temples in a saturated darker tone – the bright berry hue on the front of this frame – a trending colour for the Autumn/Winter season – makes a striking contrast to the light crystal acetate in the centre section – www.henau-eyewear.com
The Russet style at l.a.Eyeworks is an impressive stricture in itself, with its elegant angles and bevelled edges. The frame comes in several colours we feel are particularly well adapted for Autumn/Winter wear, including Stone Pony – a glamorous patterned design in natural greys and browns and Bambi which has a two-tone palette with focus on natural hues. Outstanding is the “Rosewater Brownie” colourway, which effectively combines three distinct hues with a pretty graduated effect in the middle. As brown is a popular colour in apparel, this exciting combo feels particularly in tune with what’s going on in colour in other spheres of design. www.laeyeworks.com
The Athena is a highlight in the French line by Struktur Eyewear this season and features hand brushed finishes on the top of the frame and temples. The feminine oval shape is further enhanced in this elegant indigo gradient colourway with a rainbow colour shading effect, a distinctive choice for all lovers of bold, more experimental colour combinations for the face.
