Frida
Spectacle Eyeworks
The acclaimed Mexican painter Frida Kahlo is a source of inspiration for Spectacle Eyeworks in Canada. Frida (above) comes with five different colours of Brow pieces, originally inspired by Kahlo’s quote: “Nothing is absolute, everything changes, everything moves, everything revolutionizes…” Frida represents agility and change with the varied colour “brow pieces.” www.spec-eyeworks.com JG
Alium S 1
Face à Face
The Alium S 1 is the latest addition in this line of pure lightweight aluminium designs by the French eyewear design company. Impressively, the new Alium styles are 25% thinner than previous designs and each one features miniature air vents at the temple – invisible when worn, but technically exciting as there is no soldering – this creates a flex hinge that’s strong and durable. The Alium frames come in fantastic eye-popping shades as well as more conservative tones with bright inner linings. A perfect balance of design tech and modern fashionable styling, and one of our highlights at the shows this year. www.faceaface-paris.com CN

Cazual 2
Adrian Marwitz
The German designer has launched his latest collection featuring streamlined, sleek frames in sophisticated colours. “The idea was to design a simple frame with a modern shape, and very high quality,” says Marwitz, “sometimes it is enough to make a good frame with less details.” The new Cazual range in fine titanium is clean and classical, and available in deep purple (above) olive green, pewter grey and rich chocolate. www.adrianmarwitz.com JG
