Trend watch: Beautiful blues

2nd November 2011

Beatrix by Orgreen

3rd November 2011 Orgreen effectively captures the eyewear trend of beautiful blues with stylish Beatrix. The supremely light frame gives a nod to Buddy Holly, the American rock and roll singer, with its 1950’s interpretation of revamped sleek sophistication. Vibrant electric blue beta titanium, with a smooth matt finish, is moulded into a retro/futuristic shape. Handcrafted with Danish precision to detail, Beatrix is a tempting frame to brighten winter wardrobes and days. www.orgreen.com JG

La Source

1st November 2011

World Premier at Palais Garnier, Paris, France

1st November 2011 The curtain has risen on the stage at Palais Garnier signifying a memorable ballet event. The world premier of La Source, with music by Léo Delibes and Ludwig Minkus, receives a glamorous re-incarnation by Jean-Guillaume Bart. Formerly a “danseur étoile” (star dancer) with the ballet, Bart brings this beautiful ballet back to life, that was originally written in 1866 for the Paris opera. Christian Lacroix has created the luxurious costumes, and the designs are actually made in the couture workrooms located within the hallowed halls of Palais Garnier. Lacroix’s heady mixture of fantasy and opulence, with superb fabrics, sequins, feathers and beads, complements the poetic beauty of the dancers. Until 12th November. www.operadeparis.fr JG

Palladium 002

1st November 2011

RVS by V. Handmade Eyewear

Following the success of their first stainless steel frame the Palladium 001, Turkish company RVS by V. Handmade Eyewear have continued their production of lightweight steel frames with the new 002 and 003. These showpiece styles are available in matt gold with gold lenses and matt black with faded lenses….the timeless but quirky shapes are delightful…the square 002 and small rectangular 003 are both shapes that appeared in the 1960s but also remind me of some very early antique specs produced in the late 1800s….RVS cleverly gives them a makeover producing them in modern stainless steel with luxurious eye-catching lens colours. Exciting! CN

Hadid

1st November 2011

Cassius Eyewear

This is a first appearance for New Zealand’s Cassius Eyewear on Eyestylist. Hadid is a classic flat-top sunglass style which is one of the signature shapes in the Cassius sun collection. As designer Jason Ng explains, “I am drawn to modernism: clean, linear, timeless design and work that is free from unnecessary decoration. Cassius Eyewear is a reflection of my methodical nature, and the way I see the world and everything in it.” This is a brand that prioritises cool, on-trend styling, but without any compromise on essential quality or comfort. For example, Hadid, released in homage to architect Zaha Hadid,  is made from premium layered acetate and finished with hand-polished lenses. 300 pieces per colour are available through Cassius Eyewear stockists. Colours include: black, cortado and this lovely deep mahogany pictured. Available to buy online at www.cassiuseyewear.com CN

Blush 2

1st November 2011

Safari Collection, Face à Face

French designers Face à Face have a great take on animal print…launched in 2010, their Safari Collection features this much-loved pattern teamed with colour. This gives a new edge to the very glamorous styles such as Blush 2 (above) and Garbo 4 which is distinguished by a very pretty metal detail on the upper corners of the front. With its elegant bevelled front, a signature of the Paris-based eyewear company, Blush 2 and its sister styles in the Safari collection are excellent examples of perfectly well balanced styling for this winter season in a palette that is on-trend but also classic…..a staple to bridge the seasons and likely to be a favourite for years to come. CN
