Lindberg

The innovative Danish company has recently released new designs with remarkably slender shapes – the Lindberg n.o.w. Collection. Composite materials and delicate ultra-light titanium temples team for a masterful result in elegant, uncluttered frames, such as the men’s design shown above. The understated, distinctive composition is minimalist and unobtrusive. With the advanced-technology front featuring transparent colour gradients, as well as subtle groove colours, the effect is a gentle contrast with the titanium temples. The Lindberg n.o.w. is available in 15 different colours. www.lindberg.com JG

Allen 5

Lotho Paris

This exquisite colour is one of the highlights of the approaching autumn season – and it is as stunning in eyewear, as it is in clothing. Lotho is a French brand that thrives on providing beautiful frames with distinctive details. Allen 5 is aesthetically pleasing in teal acetate with its graceful angles, and is delicately piped in mocha acetate. www.lotho.fr JG

SG Wants the DJ

Suzy Glam

As a jewellery designer, Susanne Klemm understands the components of cut gemstones, and this knowledge now translates into her stunning eyewear collection. SG Want the DJ features a luxurious faceted shape, moulded in fine Italian acetate, with the frame surface round and smooth. I’ve tried on Suzy’s frames, and the craftsmanship, fit and beauty is a delight. The collection will make its official debut at SILMO in Paris in September.www.suzyglam.com JG

Zoobug always creates the most stylish sunnies for children. Sunny in Amber is certain to appeal to young fashionistas with its voluminous shape and a hint of 1960’s retro flair. Children’s vulnerable eyes are safely protected with polarized brown tinted lenses that coordinate smartly with the lovely amber acetate. Cool, sophisticated and a must-have for 6-12 year olds. www.zoobug.com JG
