Jordaens

1st July 2012

Theo

So totally Theo – Jordaens is a new release that is part of the Antwerp painter’s eyewear collection created by the Belgium company. Acetate and metal meet in this sculptured, curvy design with an exaggerated temple demonstrating true Theo style. Tortoise and amber colouration highlight the frame shape, and the rust-resistant steel core is enveloped in acetate. Theo’s patented flex system keeps the temples flexible, and insures a great fit. Jordaens is a harmonious blend of retro and modernity. www.theo.be JG

Idole

1st July 2012

Lafont

Each time I see a new Lafont Collection, I am very impressed with their inspired use of colour – always inventive and creative. Idole in turquoise and tortoise acetate blends two lovely shades in a classic frame shape that will enhance autumn wardrobes. The cut-out temple detailing adds an extra distinctive touch. Lafont frames fit so well too — they are always a pleasure to wear! Available in Paris at their chic Lafont Boutiques and www.lafont.com JG

The Magic Hour/Trésor Trois

1st June 2012

Sama Eyewear

Lighting is always the mantra for painters – as Rembrandt and Vermeer exhibited so magnificently in their tableau. Lighting is also the essence of this glamorous Limited Edition frame by Shelia Vance at Sama Eyewear in California. Created in palladium, with 14k white gold temples that are gracefully feminine, gems of Peridot and Amethyst are handset on the sides. The Magic Hour is a luxurious and sophisticated frame statement for today’s modern women. www.samaeyewear.net JG

Montblanc Eyewear

Montblanc pens have always been my favourite writing instrument – the design, the feel, the quality. All these precious elements are found in the eyewear collection too – built on a foundation of linkage with the strong characteristics found in all Montblanc luxury products. A highlight of the eyewear collection includes this stunning metal and leather frame with flat top double detail in strips of metal and leather. The shape is a timeless silhouette, and like Montblanc pens – the frame is a treasure. www.montblanc.fr www.marcolin.com JG
