Stranger No.1

1st January 2014

Adrian Marwitz

Several of today’s innovative new designers have a passion for eyewear in their DNA and family legacy. The eyewear dynasty of Adrian Marwitz began in 1919 with his grandfather. Nowadays, Adrian continues the family history with frames in Titanium – his favourite material – that are handmade in Germany. Stranger No. 1 is from Marwitz’s new collection of Urban Strangers, shown here in sophisticated matt blue – predicted to be a notable colour for 2014 – in a shape that harmoniously unites tradition and trend. www.adrianmarwitz.com JG

Eye-witness TZ

1st November 2013

Theo Belgium

This dramatic, yet pared down shape has Theo’s stamp of originality in the design. Japanese titanium and Indian buffalo horn combine to create a lightweight, flexible and distinctive frame from Theo’s eye-witness collection. The frame front and temples in TZ are made from titanium, and the horn accents are clicked into the titanium without the use of any screws. A frame with natural richness and expression. www.theo.be JG

Colt

1st May 2013

Oliver Goldsmith

First released in 1972, Colt is a reedition of an Oliver Goldsmith aviator style in metal – it is one of just two metal designs being relaunched by the OG team, and it has all the ingredients of one of those design classics, including the original OG buttons on the temple tips. This is no ordinary aviator. It is a prestigious design with all the quality traits of the acetates by Oliver Goldsmith that designer Claire Goldsmith so beautifully reinterprets and brings into a new era. A fashion crowd pleaser, for sure! www.olivergoldsmith.com CN

Bocca Smoking 1

1st April 2013

Face à Face

This is one of my favourites in this ingenious collection from the Parisian designers, Face à Face. This stylish Bocca frame – one of eight in the new capsule collection, wears the black varnish Richelieu shoe, in a tribute to the famous Yves Saint Laurent “Le Smoking” tux. Bold and artistic, the frame is created in acetate with a beautifully sculpted form and elegant detail. The frame has been included in this Reviews selection as one we are expecting to become an iconic piece for the future. Don’t miss out if you are a collector of fashion pieces, accessories, or eyewear! www.faceaface-paris.com CN
