At Die Brillenmesse in Stuttgart, Eyestylist experienced the new collection launched earlier this year by Stefan Flatscher and Uwe Pinhammer – FHONE. The designers believe that “fashion inspires and evolves,” and model Bell is a striking example of modern minimalism and classic retro. Quality acetate is silhouetted into a chic little perfect panto shape, featuring sea-tones that resemble a symphony – where a sandy Caribbean beach meets the tropical ocean.
