The Bocca series designed by Pascal Jaulent at Face à Face is a favourite with Eyestylist – we love the style, the humour and the creativity. Bocca Sexy is the latest adaptation of this super shape, crafted in hounds tooth acetate. The sculptured slinky temples are lithe, and yes, sexy! In addition to the duo-tone textured design, Bocca Sexy is available in ravishing red, and black and blush. www.faceaface-paris.com JG

Wonderfully shiny acetate looks as if it just fell from an apple tree! Theo in Belgium loves to play with the colour palate, and this season the colours are linked to nature’s amazingly exuberant offerings. Samurai – part of the collaboration with Japanese designers Factory 900, is colourfully interpreted in springy apple gree in Japanese acetate. The design has a vintage air; a graceful curved top, and fun cut-out details on the sides. See more theo inspiration at www.theo.be JG
