Appealing colour combinations characterise the current collection of frames by the independent eyewear label, RES/REI
Best independent eyewear trends: Colour is a carefully studied expressive trait in the eyewear collections by Italian label RES/REI, where the blending of two or even three individual hues enlivens the structure of the frame, with vibrancy and distinguished subtlety and elegance. RES/REI works exclusively with Mazzucchelli, the highly regarded Italian acetate producer, often creating custom colours for their eyewear to preserve a subtle artisan finish and unique variety of exquisite designs.

Best independent eyewear trends: The current collection includes styles like Orion, where the attractive square eye shape is brought to life in six brightly toned variations. From a black and green layered tonal pairing to a dramatic purple / grey gradient effect (above), these colour combinations are developed by experts over time, with consideration for the light effects created and the interplay of light and dark tones on the wearer’s face. In the variation pictured above, the purple / grey colour of the front of the frame is combined with a deep jewel-like tone of emerald blue.
Model Master by RES/REI is part of the company’s Gentlemen collection conceived with sophisticated shapes and rich details. The style is also offered in multiple colour variations including a black with brown havana, a gradient blue havana and an intense slate blue with natural dark brown temples (pictured above). These colours focus on a contemporary theme, offering style and individuality in the aesthetic for the discerning modern male.
Founded in 2012, RES/REI has developed a reputation for its fine aesthetics, creative colour palette and sculpted forms in eyewear. See the full collection of eyewear and sunglasses at www.resrei.com
