9802

1st September 2012

Lindberg

The launch of Lindberg’s 9800 Strip Design represents a blend of details that includes acetate and titanium plate, and re-interprets 1950’s retro fashion. The upper surface of the frames features more pronounced curves of the eyebrow lines, as well as unique, screw-free detailing typical of Lindberg’s technical finesse. The sculpted frame shape is distinctive with its soft and subtly curvaceous impact. The Strip Design series is a sleek, streamlined collection from the award winning Danish company. www.lindberg.com JG

4th Dimension 4663

1st September 2012

Prodesign

This smart optical collection was inspired by the desire to create a high fashion, contemporary line of frames for the design-oriented man and woman. Even though the shapes are obviously inspired by the past – you’ll find the classic panto, the Jackie O and curvy butterfly shapes represented – the collection remains fresh and relevant, because of the cool colour choices and the way in which the acetate layers are combined. There are nine shapes in the collection; two come in two colours and the rest come in four. Suitable for progressive lenses. CN

Cutler & Gross

Bright blue captures something new for this season and I have been searching for the right tone to recommend. Here is one from the British brand Cutler & Gross! It is called deep blue and it is teamed with grey pink arms…unusual yet very neat. I like the metal nose bridge which is a trendy feature with acetate for a new look this winter.
