The French eyewear label has launched a new collaboration with the artist/designer Jessica Poundstone – in celebration of the brand’s 30th anniversary
To mark the 30th anniversary of the brand, FACE A FACE has unveiled a new sunglasses style called FACES, informed by the colourful work of Jessica Poundstone, and presented with special edition art works by the artist (in the form of counter cards and posters). Inspired by by colour sensation, minimalism and light and space, Poundstone creates vibrant abstract art works with bold colour combinations and geometric structured forms, a style that is perfectly in harmony with the artistic vision of the designers at FACE A FACE. Above: the new Faces frame fuses the artistic vision of Poundstone and the signature geometric styling of FACE A FACE sunglasses – the special edition frame was shown for the first time at the LOFT Eyewear Show
