Two new frames combine classic style and easy comfort

At Italian eyewear company Look, two new optical frames in acetate – with a fashionable “sculpted effect” – have been added to the three best-selling styles from the 4570 series, introduced by the company last year.

Unisex panto shape 04573 in the Look Moda collection, features a keyhole bridge in a wearable yet flattering design, while model 04574 has a softly contoured rectangular design – an easy style for men. By balancing form and function, the styles reflect the company’s heritage in a subtle and unpretentious way. Warm, natural shades, including varieties of classic havana elegantly adapt to any personality and occasion. Above and below: a straightforward Italian-made panto design – combining two classic acetate colours – for enthusiasts of timeless eyewear – the 04573 from Look has just been released

The Moda collection has been created to narrate Look’s interpretation of new trends while at the same time maximizing the brand’s cultural roots through a design distinguished by absolute production quality. While the acetate profiles are bold, their qualities such as lightness ensure the all important comfortable fit.

Made entirely in Italy, these frames in the Moda collection are the product of a traditional eyewear company’s tried-and-tested blending of technology and production know-how, and their commitment to excellence in the details and functionality of each design.

Three creative, colourful additions introduced in the combined metal and acetate frame collection at French design label, J.F. Rey : JF3060, JF3061, JF3059

Trending eyewear: Fresh, bright, creatively colourful! The new designs, which include the hexagonal shaped model JF3060, offer custom-made acetate laminations in a blend of colours and patterns on a lightweight metal structure in complementary hues. Each style celebrates the possibilities of unexpected combinations and an aesthetic uniqueness – wholly characteristic of the J.F. Rey brand!

For all three styles, the frame fronts are adorned with a bespoke acetate construction: a play of laminations blending colour, pattern, and texture -assembled carefully to highlight the idiosyncratic beauty of each shape. Above and below: JF3060 by J.F. Rey

The velvety satin finish of the metal frame structure enhances the three new designs, adding a contemporary elegance described as “an expressive, distinctive and memorable visual signature” that reflects the essence of J.F. Rey’s dedicated work in colour. Find out more at www.jfrey.fr
