The frames, which echo the original collection with a softened sculptural and more commercial design, are fitted with protective sun lenses in fashion-forward tints
Nouvelle Fiction frames, a more wearable, everyday look inspired by the first collection by Paloceras – Pebble – with its inflated, exaggerated forms – offer a new direction for customers who seek Paloceras design with ready-to-wear ease. Five distinctive shapes are proposed – square, pentagonal, round, rectangular and cat-eye inspired – with a refinement enhanced by the original lens tints and expanded colourways which “shift the mood from interior precision to exterior presence.” As before, the voluminous effect is engineered with the brand’s signature DualLayer™ laminated construction to reveal depth, dimension and a subtle interplay of colour. Crafted from premium Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate and engineered with the same structural discipline as the previous sunglasses collection, each frame has been conceived to balance clarity of form with quality UV protection.

The new collection was presented to Eyestylist.com at the trade-only eyewear event EYECON, NYC in March. The line was exhibited at the EYECON show alongside some of the young brand’s most avantgarde pieces, including Leopard Lace – a Paloceras and Djibril Cissé collaboration, and the Hydroceras Limited Edition introduced in 2025 (find out more at https://www.eyestylist.com/2025/09/3d-printed-eyewear-as-a-creative-language-paloceras-releases-hydroceras/).
