Face à Face Paris

Geometric colour blocks and strong contrasts- a tribute to Piet Mondrian – signify the dramatic eyewear collection from Face à Face that they are launching this autumn. The bold shape with its sharp angles creates a real continuity between the acetate pieces. Purity, elegance and simplicity combine in this design by Pascal Jaulent, to create a beautiful new classic. www.faceaface-paris.com JG

Beach Club

Wonderglasses

“Music Express” is the theme for the latest collection from the German company Wonderglasses. The cat eye shape is curvy and charming, with striking colour combinations. The gracefulness of the design extends to the distinctive nose piece, and the overall effect is a harmonious blend of sweet and strong. This new Wonderglass collection is also available in a delightful selection of cat eye optical styles. www.wonderglasses.com JG

Keith

Lotho Paris

Futuristic styling meets retro in this bold design from Lotho. Thinical Beta-Titanium is superbly crafted into this arty frame in deep forest green – a lovely accompaniment to autumn fashions. The flat top bridge and intriguing nose detailing ensure this is a true original for the discriminating sunglass lover. www.lotho.fr www.ibrandseurope.com JG

Pierre Eyewear

If autumn or winter holidays to warm locations are on your agenda, Pierre Eyewear has festive frames to enjoy wearing for sunny expeditions. Shiny white polka dots on blue acetate, and the retro shape, definitely add zip and flair for under-the-sun activities. Ludo is just one of a stunning new range that Pierre Eyewear will unveil at Silmo. www.pierre-eyewear.com JG

Fiona

Götti Switzerland

Unique technology – a stainless steel front with a precious metal coating, and the temples in a special epoxy plastic – combine harmoniously in Fiona by Götti Switzerland. The shape is a subtle statement – with an enduring timelessness that Sven Götti creates so perfectly. Fiona features Götti’s patented 360° Spin&Stow system, so the frames fold easily and compactly. Great colours too — shiny silver, lilac matte, shiny gold and black. We are reliably informed that Fiona is a favourite of several New York fashion editors – we understand why! www.gotti.ch JG
