Vienna Inspiration from Lafont Paris

Lafont is internationally recognised for their innovative colour interpretations and creative styling. This stunning frame evokes fond memories of viewing decorative arts in Vienna, that richly creative Art Nouveau period in Austrian history that continues to fascinate. Smooth acetate and lacy weave metal in an intricate design creates edgy sunglasses in an unusual colour combo – burnt orange and purple. The perfect enhancer for autumn fashions! www.lafont.com JG

Natalia 109

1st August 2012

Colour Revolutions by Theo

One of the amazing aspects of colour is how the totally unexpected can work so effectively – such as pairing purple and turquoise. Natalia 109 is a vivid new colour mixture from Antwerp based Theo – glossy layered acetate features inlaid texture on the top of the fame and the temples. The effect is riveting – bold, bright and beautiful! www.theo.be JG

Big Wheel

1st August 2012

Tortoise Trends by l.a. eyeworks

Tortoise is an all-time favourite, and it’s lovely to see that it is enjoying a fashionable renaissance. l.a. eyeworks has done a marvellous interpretation of tortoise with Big Wheel – an epic play of marble against tortoise. There is a feeling of volume in the design, yet a minimalist aura prevails as well. The high quality acetate ensures a frame of fantastic quality and beauty. www.laeyeworks.com JG

Ella

1st August 2012

Desert Inspiration by Isson Australia

The rich, sun drenched colours of the desert are found in the new sunglass collection from Isson in Australia. The flat fronted round shape deepens the dramatic temple volume, and the frames are fitted with aspheric (flat) anti-reflection coated lenses. Designer Catherine Federici has captured the essence of the desert in Ella, with intense colouration and bold shaping. www.isson.com.au JG

Simon

1st August 2012

RVS by V.

Model Simon embodies everything I love about the frames by Turkish label RVS by V. Colour is one of their trademarks and they offer unique ideas on colour combos, as this version of Simon clearly illustrates. My current favourites are this trendsetting matt pink with tortoise and the same model in a gorgeously soft yellow with purple temples, both exemplary of the collection in that they move dramatically away from more classic tonal pairings. Typical here is the clever matt finish which is both edgy and extremely soft and comfortable on the skin. To find out more about RVS by V. visit www.rvsbyv.com CN
