Spectacular rims with playful colour combos are one of the most creative directions in eyewear for Spring…
Designers have explored the creative potential of layers and rims this season, with fronts which take the bold theme to new heights, playing with contrast and colourful combinations. From high fashion collections to small batch series, the trend for impactful, double and triple rims has brought more individuality and freshness of style still and a 3 dimensional sculptural quality that is beautiful and flattering on the face. Above: from the Marni sunglasses collection by RETROSUPERFUTURE, Ulawun Vulcano Blue. This style offers real visual impact, with the contrast in shape and colour and beautiful signature tones of the fashion brand combined with artistry – www.retrosuperfuture.com
The Madison is oversized with strong ties to the look of the 1970s square designs. It presents dynamic colour combinations on the front of the frame, using fashion tones of lilac – a tone that is similar to the trendy digital lavender, and luminous gradient tones – in the case above, a crystal taupe. Despite the thicknesses of the acetate material, the frame has a lightweight feel and comfortable, wearable shape. www.jfrey.fr
The Gadabout model from OGI Eyewear explores volumes, layering and linear effects with its bold front – described as a “harlequin shape”. Three colours are revealed on the front by means of the ingenious layering and “cutting” of the acetate and stainless steel shapes which overlap one another. Model Duude in this collection has a similar accent on the rim design and playful effect of bright colour combos. Find the models in the collection at www.ogieyewear.com
