Paris preview 2
19th September 2014 Ahead of the Paris eyewear fashion fair, Eyestylist has an eye on some of the independent labels attending. Danish label Kilsgaard Eyewear launches a cool campaign and several new frame shapes, in a brilliant warm palette with maximum impact. Jacob Kilsgaard told Eyestylist: “Our SILMO launch this year contains three petite female shapes -very small specs with a feminine, elegant and classy design. We are also adding three larger males shapes to this launch along with one unisex style. We are keeping it slim and conservative with our unique urban touch of coolness. Three new temple colours will ensure a new sensation when you see them!” www.kilsgaard-eyewear.com
For women, at Vera Wang, colours are soft and translucent with pretty layering. Zlata (below) has the quintessential soft cat eye shape: an interpretation that underlines the femininity of this classic in eyewear. Zlata is created in fresh leaf green – billed a key colour next season – and tortoise on a pearly lapis. www.kenmarkoptical.com
And for an inspired interpretation of the classic shapes, we also take a look at RES/REI. Just in late last night is this delightful trio with double bridge – Luciana, Giulio II and Lupo (below)!
In finest Mazzucchelli acetate, inspired by traditional tortoise patterning of vintage spectacles, these handmade Italian frames revisit the beautiful things in classic eyewear design with a new, seductive elegance. See you in Paris! www.resrei.com www.silmoparis.com CN
