Christian Roth

The highly influential design team of Christian Roth and Eric Domége have been creating beautiful, luxurious frames for over twenty-five years.  Their designs are a favourite with Clodagh and I. For this summer, I especially like this handmade shimmering acetate design in soft tones of blue and lilac. The fit of Christian Roth frames is perfection, as the frames gently mould to the wearer’s face.  Christian and Eric have a knack for assimilating unexpected shapes, colourations and techniques into memorable eyewear creations.  It’s no wonder that clients include high profile wearers on an international scale.

Eye’DC Junior Collection

The children’s collection Eye’DJ from Marseilles based Eye’DC merges uncluttered design with child-friendly materials.  Winners of a Silmo D’Or in 2009, the current collection is modern and free flowing, with sculptured shapes in stainless steel.  The colour play of the featured design between the top bar and the rim is a distinctive touch. Shape selections include oval, rectangular and round.  These frames are incredibly lightweight, yet designed to cope with playground antics. Eye’DJ can be found at Optique Vie in Roquebrune Cap Martin and more details at www.eye-dc.com JG
