RVS takes a new direction for 2016 with The Shining, their first ever glossy collection since launching in 2007. All the Limited Edition frames in the new collection showcase laminated acetates with a custom look and unique colours and patterns.

Handmade with focus on originality and personality, the collection includes Annette, a dramatic, asymmetrical design, pictured in confetti and black with a delicate purple fade lens. Tthe styles are limited to a production of just 100 pieces for each colour and bear the usual traits of an RVS frame such as high-quality “0” base anti glare, scratch resistant lenses and signature handpainted red hinge screws.

The Shining collection is launching exclusively via the RVS web store and will be available at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus from February. The collection will be stocked subsequently in selected eyewear boutiques worldwide through 2016.  More details available at www.rvseyewear.com CN

Claude Monet’s beautiful, lush gardens are the inspiration for a vivacious design by Jono Hennessy. The modern classic shape is blooming with Monet colours – reminiscent of his gorgeous gardens and a glorious summer day. Quality acetate embellishes the tonal radiance of the colours.

The French design brand introduces sunglasses to its high-tech Alium series, where use of quality aluminium produces an exceptional contemporary finish, in bright hues and natural metallics. The two new styles, with their balance of assertive, cutting edge design and supreme comfort, have a round (pictured) or rectangular shape with a statement metal bridge and technical hinge. Made in France, the frames are assembled in the company’s workshop in the Jura.

The label announces Jean Galfione, former Olympic athlete and pole vaulter as the face of the Alium sunglasses campaign in 2016. www.faceaface-paris.com / www.alium-paris.com CN
