Hall of Frames: new location for 2022

February 28th 2022

Longstanding eyewear fair Hall of Frames in Switzerland confirms dates for Lucerne event

Hall of Frames, the established independent eyewear fair in Switzerland, has announced confirmation of its 2022 Hall of Frames meet, to take place in Lucerne. The event, which will take place on 4th September at the Swiss Museum of Transport, is designed to bring a crowd of eyewear enthusiasts together from all over Switzerrland and further afield, while offering a perfect location for a fun weekend away.

The selected location – the Museum of Transport – is the most visited museum in Switzerland and displays a large collection of locomotives, cars, ships and aircraft. In addition to the actual museum, the Museum of Transport also houses a planetarium, the “Film Theatre” and the “Swiss Chocolate Adventure”.

“We are pleased to be able to continue our cooperation with our main partner Nikon in 2022”, said Nathanaël Wenger, owner and managing director of HOF. “Dynoptic – an association of about 100 owner-managed opticians from all over Switzerland – as well as the Basel-based architectural firm Studio Arenas will also be back as partner companies this year.” Hall of Frames welcomes independent labels and creative designers from around the world to enquire about exhibition spaces.

Silhouette: new edition of an icon

February 27th 2022

The bold Futura frame reimagined

2022 sees the return of the iconic Futura by Silhouette, reimagined since its first launch in 1973. The new form of the sunglasses consists of a polyamide shield, specially developed for the company with a particular shape, titanium temples and a bold circular “dot” design in the centre of the frame. Produced in a limited edition of 1964 pairs (a symbolic number as it represents the year in which the Austrian company was founded) – the frame has the lightweight finesse of a classic Silhouette frame. The dot design on the front is created by means of special milling and coloring. Above: the new Futura Dot frame is a statement design with a retro colour palette

The Cantara style has a masculine build, and minimal elegance in tones of blue (above), black on black or dark brown/Santiago gradient. For technical features, the patented spiral hinge and adjustable qualities of the frame ensure wearer comfort and a light and pleasant overall feel. The launch of the new capsule coincides with the release of the new Mykita campaign which considers the delicate forces of nature and its extraordinary restorative power in imagery where raw nature moods mix with close and intimate human portraits.

Eyestylist exclusive: A neon glow in eyewear

February 21st 2022

Eyewear designers amp up the colours with high-intensity hues of orange and red – in all materials

Neon colours have returned in force. Hyper-bright colour blocked orange and red frames and zesty-tangerine accents radiate in eyewear, with a very powerful energy, luminosity and upbeat glow. The attention-grabbing tones are not for everyone, but for those who seek a colour accent that’s fresh and positive, these tones will offer pure brightness. Particularly flattering for beautiful dark and olive skin tones, we’ve also seen these neons dazzle on lighter complexions so it’s essential to try it on and explore different shapes and materials! Above: Blackfin One’s new geometric Wells panto frame – produced in titanium – comes in a fluo red which is combined with black on the frame front, www.blackfin.eu

M08 by Vue DC: a head turner in a quirky palette including this bold orange tone

The recently launched M08 at Vue DC is a metal frame with a bold thick rim. The frame has been produced in a whole palette of neon tones ranging from electric blue and fresh spring green, through to yellow and orange. The bold coloration would be effective as a bright and beautiful accent for Spring! We also spotted some bright red acetate styles in the collection! www.vuedc.com

Classic round glasses: Bo by Carlotta’s Village

February 18th 2022

Round and minimal designs by the Danish label 

Round glasses continue to hold their chic. After several years of success across the board, the styles with a vintage lean and handcrafted finish make a particularly sought after choice, with a surfeit of options for women as well as men, particularly in acetate, a material that’s flattering and always in style.  Above: model Bo is from Carlotta Village’s iconic acetate collection. A round frame can add a statement to your personality: the style comes in a variety of colours which offer different looks for the complexion and face shape – from turtle and dark teal through to champagne
Carlotta’s Village: a light crystal champagne acetate flatters the girl’s fair complexion

From a Danish brand that is known for balanced design and simple, pared back shapes, model Bo is classic and elegant, an ideal choice for women who want an adaptable look for work and leisure. The same shape looks different depending on the colours: the turtle and dark teal options are bold and intellectual, with a stronger look and essential vintage aesthetic. The crystal champagne and translucent sage are characterised by a delicate and contemporary style, adding light to the eyes while bringing definition or contrast to the colorations of the face.
