Milfy

1st May 2013

Thierry Lasry

Our choice of fashionista styles would not be complete without a bold Lasry statement design such as Milfy in tortoise. I saw some of Lasry’s styles recently in Dover Street Market and was reminded of the silky finish of the acetate used and the fact that the designer loves bold statement colour, but also makes some very classy more understated colour combinations that have lasting appeal. A label that’s adored by the glitterati and that sticks by the tradition and quality in designer eyewear. www.thierrylasry.com CN

Safira

1st May 2013

Vera Wang Salon

Classic shaping with the decorative touch of lace inlayed in the arms, model Safira from the Vera Wang collection is one sunglass style that is now on my wish list. The on-trend design has a subtle affinity with the bridalwear designer’s design aesthetic and expertise in working with luxury fabrics. The black version is perfect and a good investment if you want something for all seasons, while the Safira in Umber has a very flattering pairing of cream lace and tortoise and would make a lovely choice for a special occasion such as a summer wedding.

Burtrask Ice

1st May 2013

E&E glasses

From Swedish Lapland and E&E glasses comes this super hot oversized cateye that is described as a unisex piece. The chunky flat front ensures full coverage of the eyes and a nice edginess that defines the sunglass styles in this collection. Headed by Emilia Lindmark and a young energetic design team, this label names its styles after landmarks in its native Swedish homeland and is inspired by the natural colours of the local terrain and spectacular icy landscapes. There’s a new website where the frames can now be purchased directly: www.eoe-glasses.com CN

Cinquante+huit

1st April 2013

Theo Belgium

New designs from Theo’s VinGtage collection include this robust frame with its rugged, angular and chunky shape. Theo designer Serge Bracké created this retro-inspired design in titanium, with decorative rivets on the front and sides of the frame – and there is a hidden message! There are four models, and the rivets on each design form the shape of a letter – in Braille! So cinquante+huit represents the O in theo. Irresistible colours too – including new tones of electric blue (above) and passion red. www.theo.be JG

Cazal 6004

1st April 2013

Cazal Eyewear

Cazal 6004 has the vintage look of the legendary Cazal model 607. It is available as a sun or optical style, and comes in black/gold, black/matt silver or amber/gold. All the new edition Cazal sunglasses tend to be extremely sought after, given the heritage of the label, the quality, and the label’s ability to bring iconic DNA to all its shades. This style is deeply rooted in the legacy of the legendary designer Cari Zalloni (1937-2012) and it’s one more Cazal design you will see in years to come. This is a label that is loved by vintage specialists around the world – and anyone who has taken an interest in eyewear history. Always one we like to revisit. www.cazal-eyewear.com CN
