Ellington

A-Morir by Kerin Rose

A-Morir has had some fantastic press for S/S 2012, as the decorative elements of the sunglasses look exquisite with details in fabrics, appliques and the season’s florals. This style, Ellington, is not one that has been seen as much as some of Kerin Rose’s other creations, but it’s one that I adore. The ultimate in jewellery embellishment on sunwear with a couture approach, the design is perfectly in tune with trends in jewellery that for now continue to shout loudly, promoting sparkle and statement. A look with gems that should have its entry in eyewear history. www.a-morir.com CN

 

Jordaens

Theo

So totally Theo – Jordaens is a new release that is part of the Antwerp painter’s eyewear collection created by the Belgium company. Acetate and metal meet in this sculptured, curvy design with an exaggerated temple demonstrating true Theo style. Tortoise and amber colouration highlight the frame shape, and the rust-resistant steel core is enveloped in acetate. Theo’s patented flex system keeps the temples flexible, and insures a great fit. Jordaens is a harmonious blend of retro and modernity. www.theo.be  JG

Rose et La Mer

Anna-Karin Karlsson

I introduced one of of Anna’s designs in May, and I can’t resist showing this one too. Anna was first attracted to sunglasses when she tried on a style by iconic eyewear creator, Christian Roth. Anna has worked for some time designing bespoke luxury frames for a list of private clients including a few celebrity ones. ‘Rose et La Mer’ has caught the imagination of fashion editors with its super luxury design and asymmetrical lounging leopard. It’s a style based on fantasy, fun and humour! At eyestylist.com we look forward to seeing how Anna follows this imaginative style. It seems like there is a rush on at The Optical Wardrobe (www.theopticalwardobe.com) to buy these and they cost SEK 4500 which is about £435. CN www.annakarinkarlsson.com
