Eyestylist exclusive: Haffmans second collection with Marcus Paul

24th January 2022

Collaborations continue to evolve in eyewear

A second sunglasses collaboration from the independent brand Haffmans & Neumeister with stylist Marcus Paul presents sunglasses with a striking and charismatic style that shift from bold and bulky to thin and minimalist, the signature style of the German label. As with many collabs by independent eyewear labels at the present time, the style of the sunglasses series produced with an outside collaborator, allows for a creative freedom and fresh, individualistic perspective.

Model André : Haffmans & Neumeister features ultra bulky Italian acetates in the collection with Marcus Paul – temples are super sleek

The new models are produced in handmade Italian acetate (fronts) and stainless steel sheetmetal (temples), and include four shapes – with a palette that is restrained and classically inspired with lens colours coordinated in demure tones of green, grey and brown. The frames are releasing for the season at selected optical retailers as well as the fashion retailer, Dover Street Market.

EYESTYLIST: Jean-François Rey creates undulating shapes in vivid colours

18th January 2022

The two new styles (JF2972 and JF2973) combine metal and acetate in creative ways

Just released by the French design house, the two new models JF 2972 and 2973 offer an extra creative, eye-catching concept and colour palette, with undulating upper rims and two-tone colours, each one expressing a different mood. The result is a decorative style of frame with an attractive expression, for those who seek a bold and charismatic style.  Above + below: Model JF 2973

JF 2973: uplifting and decorative

Model JF 2973 has a flattened oval shape and raised section on the upper front, more like a cat’s eye – defined by the two undulating metal lines. The colours are dramatic, with base tones running from orange and red through to bright blue and a dark aquamarine.

JF 2972- one of the colour combinations which stands out for the Spring – intense pink and reddish tones with a natural light brown line defining the top rim

JF 2972 has a deeper, rounded shape with a similar undulating top line with the ‘interlaced’ undulating effect. The colours give the styles a very different feel depending on the combinations which are sometimes almost neon, and paired with a bright flash of natural gold or delicate light brown. Both styles are designed in France and are made to fuse together unique design alongside comfort and an easy fit.

Independent eyewear: colours of the season

12th January 2022

Beyond the much hyped Pantone colour of the year, the Spring promises a mix up of neutrals, minimal shades and rebellious brights….in the first of a series of tips on colour, we explore three unique looks in independent eyewear collections

Fear not! It’s not just the expressive tone of Very Peri that has caught the eye of the designers in eyewear for Spring. The 2022 mix up throws caution to the wind. In a first peak at what’s coming, we highlight three unique colour groups to brighten the mood.

1.

Gorgeous grey tones are on-trend for the season – Panto model Lava Flava in the lightweight Quantum High collection by Ørgreen Optics. The frame is pictured on the girl in Dark Skin Grey with Mat Orange. The combination is a good example of a new interpretation of eyewear colour with the strong orange creating contrast on the fine narrow temple. The grey tone is  chic and refined and also pairs very well with delicate pastels. Grey is in vogue for men and women. Find more elegant colours at www.orgreenoptics.com

Green tones are flourishing

En mode: a natural green tone pairs perfectly with gold at Lafont Paris: model Julia

This year promises green tones with a vibrancy that feels modern and subtly energising. Tones of mint, sage, olive and pistachio are a nature-lovers paradise of delicacy and style while acid greens pep up darker basics and contrasts. Find the green varieties paired with contrasting colours such as gold or used as a statement tone to re-fresh and revive! For more styles in the Lafont collection visit www.lafont.com

Orange, burnt umber, right through to honey

VADA’s “cosmic classic” model Zero in honey – released this month

The orange tones are equally welcoming and invigorating in 2022, and take in a whole range of bright neons, burnt umbers, Aperol, tangerines, and holistic and healthy honey shades. Like Vada’s circular Zero in a striking, classic honey, the natural brightness of tones in this palette add warmth and energy with a ‘spritz’ of good cheer.  https://vadajewelry.com
