A clouded clear frame with white gold hinges and sky blue flash lens, the combination has a true subtlety, creating a classic refinement on first glance with a twist of modern ingenuity. The innovative hinge fitting on the frame front of model Diskov, one of designer Grant Krajecki’s creative inventions, acts as a decoration, but as you move closer you realise the clever way in which the detail has literally been turned inside out. Diskov also comes in a pretty clouded gold or traditional black and the unique hinge design from Grey Ant features on several other models including the square model Blitz and oval style Kemp. All are “new found classics”.

Going green to celebrate spring is beautifully expressed in a panto optical frame by Paola Costantini at Pollipo’.

Italian artist Lucia Pasin has produced another unique and evocative eyewear collection, launched in Milan in March. Model Esperia – in the designer’s EOS optical collection – is a feminine, oversized cat eye shape, bold and inimitable with its lush floral motif, a watercolour design by Pasin, transformed with exceptional results onto eyewear. Made in Italy, every frame is slightly different in the design and colour featured, in keeping with the handpainted works by the artist, who says the flower theme was inspired by Frida Kahlo. Wear with coordinating florals or statement colours and stand out in the crowd. For more information about the collection, visit www.lupastudio.it CN
