Adventurer Aviator

Silhouette

Made in Austria, Silhouette designs are known for being lightweight and stable. We have been looking at a variety of aviators, one of the lead designs in sunwear for this year, and found this one to be both high-tech – it is made of SPX and titanium – and pleasant to wear in terms of the fit, feel and lightness. I tried it on at Silhouette’s recent brand event in London for the presentation of Titan Icon and featuring inspirational entrepeneur, Jo Malone.

The Adventurer style has barely-there temple ends and fixing system featuring silent bridge plates which can be adapted to any face shape and size, to provide a great fit without leaving marks on pressure points – something I always look for. Available in grey, brown and green, and all colours come in a polarized option. www.silhouette.com  CN

Bocca Smoking 1

Face à Face

This is one of my favourites in this ingenious collection from the Parisian designers, Face à Face. This stylish Bocca frame – one of eight in the new capsule collection, wears the black varnish Richelieu shoe, in a tribute to the famous Yves Saint Laurent “Le Smoking” tux. Bold and artistic, the frame is created in acetate with a beautifully sculpted form and elegant detail. The frame has been included in this Reviews selection as one we are expecting to become an iconic piece for the future. Don’t miss out if you are a collector of fashion pieces, accessories, or eyewear!  www.faceaface-paris.com CN

Madame

Lafont Paris

Lafont is among the masters of successfully uniting vintage elements with contemporary trends. A lovely example is Madame – a sleek design that debuted in Milan. Electric blue meets gradient blue tortoise, and the subtle suggestion of the cat eye shape enhances this chic look. Available in the Paris shops of Lafont  –  more details at www.lafont.com JG

Yang

l.a.eyeworks

We’ve raided the Archives of designers who are recognised for their vintage originality and retro spirit. Vintage designs always reveal dandies and delights, like Yang in metal and acetate, created by Barbara McReynolds and Gai Gherardi for l.a.eyeworks. Yang was introduced in 1988, however, the really great ones always feel immediately modern….and Yang is one of them. www.laeyeworks.com JG

Grace

Kirk Originals

From the Vintage archives at Kirk Originals, this frame was created in 1995, and the inspiration behind the design was the timeless chic of Princess Grace of Monaco. She wore glasses – both sunglasses and ophthalmic – and was frequently seen in photos wearing sunglasses. Grace, with its distinctive textured acetate and elegant cat eye shape remains a lovely tribute to a style icon. www.kirkoriginals.com JG
