Bone Polisher

1st March 2011

Chrome Hearts

Aviator shaped sunglasses are experiencing a renaissance this season in exciting materials with luxurious embellishments.  A perfect example is Bone Polisher from Chrome Hearts. A 3D titanium punch-out rim front highlights the fluid aviator shape. The glossy black acetate front and tortoiseshell sides are accented with sterling silver, including a wrapped cross silver motif on the temple tips.  This frame is extremely chic with its understated, intrinsic beauty. Chrome Hearts is an American brand with a strong European following, and  their frames can be found in Paris at Les Plus Belles Lunettes du Monde www.lesplusbelleslunettesdumonde.com and in Rome at Monocle Vergerio, Via de Campo Marzio N. 13. www.opticalshopinternational/com JG

Katya

1st March 2011

Götti Switzerland

Separating me from acetate requires a really amazing frame.  Sven Götti did it! The moment I tried on the Katya sunglasses, I realised the enjoyment to be found in wearing titanium. This is a feel-good frame – the high square shape is extremely graceful, and the lenses are a delicate shade of violet. An additional asset is the magical “Spin & Stow” temple, with its fully integrated hinge that can spin. A simple movement to revolve the temples, and the sunglasses become extremely flat and readily slide into a case or your pocket (see our January reviews, where we feature model Larry, we are both fans!). These frames are so enjoyable to wear, that getting accustomed to a new lens prescription was achieved without problem. Götti frames are available at the sleek, chic Lucerne boutique Götti & Niederer www.gotti-niederer.ch and in Barcelona at Soler Centre Visual www.solercentrevisual.com JG

Factory One

1st March 2011

Anne et Valentin

Specs with round eye shapes have been enjoying a revival and continue to do so this Spring, and this pretty shape from the French label Anne et Valentin shows how fun and contemporary they can be. All my choices this month are based on the classic round vintage shape (also known as a P3!)  that has an intellectual yet playful design and works just as well for women as for men.

The Factory models from Anne et Valentin are inspired by Andy Warhol and his New York Factory studio. This particular acetate design has a round shape that is slightly flattened at the top; the design has a nice handmade quality, adding to the vintage note. Colour choices include black, a rich red and a lovely classic tortoise. CN

1224

1st March 2011

Lindberg

Danish spectacles company, Lindberg have an Acetanium collection, from which this lovely shape has been released. Acetanium, as the name suggests, was designed by Lindberg to refer to their collection which combines acetate and titanium, to create very light, modern looking frames which are flexible and hard-wearing. It’s a versatile collection which has become increasingly influenced by the lure of vintage, and it is an excellent place to look for very wearable, round spectacle shapes. As far as Lindberg’s model 1224 goes, a lovely old-fashioned round front is combined stylishly with a contemporary temple which puts the modern titanium on show. There are almost invisible, perfectly formed, small medical silicone nose pads for a good, comfortable fit; these also prevent the nasty red pressure marks around the nose that some poorly designed or ill-fitting specs can leave.

Theo

A round model that is, as they say themselves, totally in keeping with Theo tradition. It has a keyhole nose and decorative rivets in the shape of three little balls, filled with epoxy resin. This model comes from a line called VinGtage by this exciting Belgian eyewear design company, which is inspired by the past but created in a modern way, using high quality titanium in stunning flashy colours such as fuchsia, turquoise and bright green. The titanium is very light to wear, although the design looks quite heavy or chunky – it’s a clever trick! Comfort is also at the top of the list here, and so the sidepieces are flexible and easy to adjust for that all-important perfect fit. CN
