Tom Stevens – The Netherlands

The latest innovative technology is crafted into beautiful eyewear by Tom Stevens. Polyamide power and Selective Laser Sintering are utilised in model D10, coupled with a special coating to preserve the lovely colours. Polyamide is strong, easy to adjust, and very light. Model D10 in vivid blue captures a mood of simplicity and refinement. www.stevenseyewear.com JG

Eva

Vue dc

Eva is one of Vue dc’s masterpieces, highlighting an art-deco inspired sculptural concept that is quite unique. Produced in a fine quality acetate, pictured here with marble effect, designer Chris Mascre plays with volumes to transform eyewear into art. Choose from evocative colours that are both classically inspired and flattering. All Vue dc artisan frames are made in the Jura in France. www.vuedc.com CN

Ella

RVS by V

The classic RVS by V style Ella has been on Eyestylist before, but this new colour – entitled “hornier blue”, deserves another mention as we prepare ourselves for some real treats in the S/S 16 season. For those who like to convert their glasses with a cool clip in the sun, this is an ideal choice: a flash mirrored designer clip translates these edgy yet classically inspired specs into a sunglass design with attention-grabbing style. www.rvseyewear.com CN

ZT19822

Charmant

The award-winning men’s collection – Charmant Z – combines the superior qualities of Excellence Titan-Elastomer in a frame that is exceptionally supple and lightweight. The latest design includes ZT19822 – an elegant frame for men with a full rim, and handsome temples and sides. Available in Marine blue (above), brown and black. www.charmant.com JG

Finest Seven

New from the British luxury label is Zero 11, a clean, minimal aviator shape with striking proportions and fashion-forward lens, designed by Jesse Stephens. Colours are in tune with the high quality aspect of the design. A grey graduated lens matches the sheen of the metal frame itself in this example, while other colour combinations include gold with a graduated brown lens and gold with a baby blue mirrored lens. Attention to form and craft, typical of Stephens’ work, is perfectly illustrated in a design that reinterprets a classic with dramatic aesthetics and a comfortable fit. www.finestseven.com CN
