Graz

From “down under” in Australia, Graz Mulcahy creates edgy, distinctive eyewear.  It’s always an adventure to view his collections at the eyewear shows.  He believes in statement frames – designs that are bold and distinguished. Experimenting with the unusual is something that he particularly enjoys – such as the sunglasses shown above in matte acetate.  The frame is handmade, blasted with a very fine sand to create a non-reflective surface.  After the blasting, the matt is left untreated, which allows the frame to take on its own character.  With wear, the frame becomes slightly darker in different areas, which Graz likens to what happens to jeans.  This frame has a feeling of strength and substance, yet with its smooth matte finish, possesses subtle and understated beauty.

Mech-flex V3611

Vanni

I like the simplicity of this model, from the Mech-Flex range by Vanni, produced by the Italian design company Nico Design. This model combines thin steel and plastic, and it comes from a range that brings together bright fun colours and clean, practical design. The style above features a special hinge, the Mech-flex, which adds flexibility and extra wearer comfort. Offered in four colourways, my favourite is the on-trend matt violet  and purple version, but you can also choose a patterned front teamed with black, a dark violet with turquoise, or brown with fuchsia. The enthusiasm for detail here sets this optical range apart. Very well done. CN
