Vera Wang’s Serova is a fresh smart women’s sunglass style that will suit many faces. A classic acetate front is paired with neat studded temples. Lenses are CR-39 – the softly marbled green frame works perfectly with a rich purple tint, in tune with Spring tones and minimal colour palettes. www.kenmarkoptical.com / www.verawang.com CN
20th February 2015 Refined interpretations of camo prints continue to draw attention, particularly through the acetate collections. Camouflage is no longer deeply rooted in a military context; a bright wash of colour elevates this pattern into the realms of high fashion…frames, accessories and eyewear cases too.
Lafont Paris takes the classic army print and reworks it in fresh colour proposals for men – bright blue (below) or canary yellow (above) – on the interior of model Ostende 4020. The result is a subtle visual treat in an area of the aviator frame where it is less expected. www.lafont.com
Michel Henau’s Marilyn takes a more classic camo colour palette to decorate the super curvaceous Marilyn, one of the label’s statement designs with a touch of the bug eye that’s hot for the summer.
Matching the camo, a light and subtle green/brown tinted lens brings added charm to this design. Michel Henau frames are designed in Belgium and handmade in France. www.michelhenau.com CN
