From Canada, Homa by Spectacle Eyeworks is typical of the natural eyewear styles from the Canadian brand, who have been producing handmade wood and horn products since 2008. Lenses are secured with screws to ensure easy alignment and acetate temple tips are added for easy adjustments. If you so desire, the Homa can be created with handfinished temple engravings adding a touch of the exotic. www.spec-eyeworks.com CN
Of all the Bond girls, Pussy Galore was the most difficult to seduce. In an effort to capture her aloof, “Golden Goddess” good looks, Orgreen’s PUSSY GALORE frames bring high glamour to a voluminous cat eye design. Featuring high-perched corners and a beautiful low bridge. Slip on the Mat Ivory and Sandblasted White Gold version with Rose Gold Chrome lenses and you’re any match for Mr. Bond. We like it! www.orgreen.com CN
The Alium S 1 is the latest addition in this line of pure lightweight aluminium designs by the French eyewear design company. Impressively, the new Alium styles are 25% thinner than previous designs and each one features miniature air vents at the temple – invisible when worn, but technically exciting as there is no soldering – this creates a flex hinge that’s strong and durable. The Alium frames come in fantastic eye-popping shades as well as more conservative tones with bright inner linings. A perfect balance of design tech and modern fashionable styling, and one of our highlights at the shows this year. www.faceaface-paris.com CN
Colour is always a highlight in Lafont eyewear collections, and the latest designs feature geometric decorative mosaic pieces in bursts of colour on the frame front. Rendez-vous is a smart colour triptych on acetate, with a nod to vintage with extended temples. The details are subtle and refined, and Rendez-vous is certain to add dash to spring wardrobes. www.lafont.com JG
Craftsmanship and enduring beauty are keynote at RIGARDS – and their latest natural horn collection is exciting and directional. Ti Kwa likes to blend old and new in one instrument, with inspirations that are fluid and eclectic. But at the core, vintage references are translated to eyewear in a modern yet non-conformist way, as elegantly expressed in RG0008, pictured above. www.rigards.com JG
