Trend watch: Coco in pink

7th June 2011

Oscar Magnuson

10th June 2011 On my hunt for pretty pale pink and nude tones, I have come across the unusual model Coco by the Swedish designer Oscar Magnuson in this sweet pink tone. While it’s not a label I know well, I like the combination of quality and sophistication. Magnuson’s designs are usually inspired by individual expression. Often the starting point will be a colourful character such as Arthur Miller or even a fictional character such as Dorian Gray. More on the A/W styles by Oscar Magnuson coming soon. CN

Theo interprets the nerd trend

8th June 2011 Glasses featuring maths symbols? This is a limited release by the Belgian designers at Theo which plays on the trendy “geek-chic” look. There are four titanium and four plastics in the series which are now available in some of Theo’s most popular stockists. Taking the mathematical theme as its starting point, the designs have minute, fluorescent mathematical symbols contrasting with the black of the frame, from the easily recognisable “equals” sign to less well-known symbols such as the one for disjunction. Theo has injected humour, whilst creating frames with a strong identity. The use of fluorescent tones is on-trend but not garishly flamboyant, a fun touch. CN

Undostill 18

1st June 2011

Undostrial

Part of the fully rimmed Undostill Collection designed by Lucas de Stael, this frame is made of a Swedish stainless steel sheet of just 0.5 mm wide, which is then folded and formed to achieve the perfect balance between comfort and aesthetics. The textured temples are made of silicone and exist in three different patterns, crosses, stripes or lines. They are exchangeable which allows you to modify the appearance of your frame by yourself, a clever touch. The highly flexible memory steel allows you to fold the frame by crossing the temple and locking them together in a closed position. A very practical optical style for fans of minimalist design. Undostrial is a French technology oriented label which takes an interest in the research of materials, colours and shapes, and produces all its frames, unusually, in its Paris workshop. CN
