Perfetto

Atelier Vingt-Deux

I first saw a few of the titanium designs from this collection in September and I hope to see how things develop in their collections in the next 12 months. Based in Antwerp the company prides itself on European production; it is part of a larger company called EyeTech Art who produce other lines including pieces of jewellery that also require work in titanium and diamond-cutting. Perfetto is a good and colourful example of the luxe styling in its bold and durable Titanium 0.5 Collection.  Stockists include Les Plus Belles Lunettes du Monde in Paris, and Icon the Opticians in London.  http://ateliervingtdeux.com/ CN

Peleo

Epos Milano

A stark black design I saw in Paris, Peleo by EPOS is a classic, timeless frame but totally trendy right now: it offers the kind of price tag that many would hope for for a nice quality, robust frame with a simple yet strong design. The style carries tinted lenses very well too, giving it a strong wayfarer look. On the website you can test the optical frame with different lens colour choices which is a cute tool if you haven’t made up your mind which tone you like best.

Domiziano

Res/Rei

During Hall of Frames in Zurich, I had the opportunity to see the entire Res/Rei collection, which I admire for its top-notch quality, cutting edge precision, and the beautiful acetates. Domiziano (above) is a perfect example – marbled blue acetate, with a distinguished bridge, combined with stainless steel. Designer Oliviero Zanon takes great pride in creating frames with classical traditions, plus sophisticated chic. www.resrei.com JG

Hardy Amies Signature Eyewear

A couple of British opticians have written and recommended this new eyewear line. Most of the designs are in acetate, and are bold and quite chunky in line with the vintage revival; this metal one has an interesting shape and quite a finely worked thin frame featuring an antique finish which is very trendy. Sir Edwin Hardy Amies, the founder of the label, was often described as the king of British style and was best-known for his official title as dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II; the label lives on, with a new creative director, Claire Malcolm and collections for both men and women.  This is a first optical range by the luxury fashion house, focusing on clean cut silhouettes and strong lines. To see the full range, visit www.hardyamieseyewear.com. Frames from £145.00. CN

Cutler & Gross

Bright blue captures something new for this season and I have been searching for the right tone to recommend. Here is one from the British brand Cutler & Gross! It is called deep blue and it is teamed with grey pink arms…unusual yet very neat. I like the metal nose bridge which is a trendy feature with acetate for a new look this winter.
