Colour with a Noble History…..
1st October 2013 The colour purple is recognised as the symbol of good judgment; plus it is associated with the supernatural, as well as royalty. Purple is also the most favoured colour of artists. The magic and mystery of the colour fascinates eyewear artists this season, as collections feature beautiful variations on the purple theme: lilac, amethyst, violet and lavender. Two purple versions we fancy are shown here: Vera Wang’s stunning sunglasses – Josifa – in luminous purple acetate combined with burnt orange. The gracious colour gradation is one of the prevalent themes in recent shows. www.kenmarkoptical.com
The dynamic impact of purple is evident in this striking Kilsgaard design. Lightweight aluminium – style 59.8 – is sculpted into a round shape with gentle softness, and acetate sides. Trends in eyewear shapes are centred on classic lines, but with intriguing variations, thus giving a new dimension to the designs. www.kilsgaard-eyewear.com JG
