Seeoo Classic – the pince nez reimagined

October 31st 2017

The pince-nez was a popular glasses style in the 19th century (and earlier), free from temples and traditionally produced in metal wire, buffalo horn or acetate. The classy modern interpretation by Seeoo – the entrepreneurial Austrian brand – is a very practical slim size (not much larger than a credit card) with a cool, modern design by optician and designer/innovator Gerald Lasnik. The design – which is handmade in Austria and features Mazzucchelli acetate in gorgeous colours combined with a narrow metal bridge –  has been awarded two prestigious Red Dot Design awards. For this season, the ‘Classic’ design is available in a range of colours including red, black and orange with different flat case designs, including some produced in colourful leathers and the following powers: +1.50, +2.00, +2.50, +3.00.

Inspired by Mr Bean: theo + Wujic Jo

October 26th 2017

An unlikely inspiration makes for a brilliant and charming concept in a new release by theo, designed in collaboration with South Korean fashion student, Wujic Jo. Previewed at SILMO this month, the design brings together a classic eyewear concept with a humorous twist inspired by the iconic British TV character, Mr Bean.

Catwalk; Wujic’s graduation collection

Working together with theo designer Serge Bracké,  the result is a highly stylised set of frames from Wujic, with an excellent fit and a classy look – like a tailored suit – but with a serious twist. The frames are made of acetate, with a keyhole shaped bridge and rivets – timeless and classic. The influence of Mr. Bean comes in the form of a chrome clip, inspired by the TV character’s Mini Cooper, with tiny windscreen wipers, to wipe the dirt from the lenses, and magic away the entire sun filter…(or seemingly!!)

Light Transmutation, Siens Eye Code

October 24th 2017

Eyestylist Preview 2018 ….. SIENS EYE CODE in Milan has announced the official launch for 2018 of their brilliant Light Transmutation project which we have recently experienced. The project explores chromotherapy via sunglasses designed to expand and transform the wearer’s vision through “coloured” light. The seven colours are those of the 7 chakras, each offering different therapeutic benefits corresponding to different parts of the body – red, for example, activates the circulatory and nervous systems connected to the heart.

In the frame design, the transparent coloured ring surrounds a dark UV protective sun lens; the same colour reappears on the temple in a striking ‘wing’ design which represents the beneficial  and therapeutic effects of the lens whilst giving the frame a cool futuristic look.
