Blue Magic Eye

Since Guya Montermini and Ciro Tugnoli launched their eyewear collection several years ago, I’ve been following their design evolution with great interest. This season, they have launched another chic collection in must-have colours. Their creative frames, with great attention to details, includes this bold cobalt blue and dark grey design, with the colour combination a Blue Magic Eye exclusive. Matt acetate is contrasted with gold metal, and the frame shape is deftly sculpted into modern retro. Refined style, with elegant impact. www.bluemagiceye.com JG

The Super Conductor

1st November 2011

KBL Eyewear

I spotted this design at Hall of Frames in Zurich, and found both the colour and the airy, weightlessness of the frame very appealing. Super Conductor, with its slightly oversized design, is crafted from milled stainless steel, for the ultimate in shape integrity and strength. World class polishing, hand enamelled acetate temple tips, and silicon nose pads are great details for perfect comfort and fit. The coolest and most innovative electric instrument on the planet, a 1960’s fender deluxe model bass, inspired the gentle mint colouration. A cool history for a cool frame! www.kbleyewear.com JG

O’Day

1st November 2011

l.a.eyeworks

Legendary American jazz singer Anita O’Day is the inspiration for this classically proportioned circular shaped acetate frame in an array of vibrant colours. The black and bottle green split combination (above) is perfect for neo-preppies looking for heritage with a new twist. Designer Gai Gherardi says that watching the video with the elegant O’Day performing at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1957 prompted the frame concept. For a vintage treat, the performance can be viewed at:

Jean-Claude

1st November 2011

Lunettes Kollektion

This subtle, coquettish frame with its flirty cat eye shape is a standout in the Lunettes Kollektion. Beautiful, honey coloured, original Italian acetate is crafted into this handmade frame, with quality details that include solid alpaca hinges and steel screws. The design captures the vintage look that continues to inspire, combined with modern aspects, including a lighter, playful look. Jean-Claude is a very Berlin-esque design – even the handsome frame case is handcrafted by noted Berlin box factory Gerhard Reich, a German tradition for fine cases since 1869. www.lunettes-kollektion.com JG

The Commander

1st November 2011

Rolf Spectacles

A vintage car, designed over 50 years ago, is the inspiration for these luxuriously crafted walnut frames from Rolf Spectacles in Austria. Passionate about cars, as well as eyewear, classic automobiles are the foundation for everything the Rolf team designs. A revered, but now long gone American carmaker, Studebaker, created The Commander in 1953. At that time, The Commander was slimmer and more refined than other car designs, and the attractive silhouette made a strong impression on the creative forces at Rolf, which in turn, inspired this frame. The sculptured frame shape is as classical as the legendary car, very lightweight, and the walnut is polished to perfection. www.rolf-spectacles.com JG
