Fashion update July 2018

Silhouette

The remake of Silhouette’s iconic frame, Titan Minimal Art, is a hybrid of Silhouette’s classic rimless style and full-rim eyewear. The model has been reborn using Silhouette’s polyamide X (SPX) contours, giving the plastic its flexibility, comfort and elasticity. This successful remake won a product design award at the 2018 international design Red Dot Awards.

In total there are six different shapes in six different colours in the new Silhouette range, giving potential wearers 36 options (72, if you include the two sizes in each shape). The range comes with a unique counter display so that customers can see all the options available to them.

Seraphin

Seraphin has added two fresh new frames to their collection: the acetate, more feminine, Hartley comes in several different combinations of mosaic colours and has a “lighter, more petite feel”; while Gallaway is a contemporary rounded-square shape. The masculine design of Gallaway is all about the details, with a keyhole bridge and silver details at the peaks. It’s available in a variety of matte or glossy dark hues.

Barkers Eyewear

Barkers has released four new models - two metal frames, one combination frame and one acetate frame. Model 124 (featured here) offers a contemporary design, including an intricate pattern on the needles inside the temples. The frame is also available in transparent crystal, black and havana.

Fleye

Fleye’s new voluminous Elverfeld acetate sunglasses are designed with a layered construction, combining solid and transparent acetate on top of each other for a playful yet elegant look.
The Elverfeld exclusive Signature collection is available in four different colour combinations.

Oliver Peoples

The new season of Oliver Peoples’ optical collection offers a new updated version of the iconic MP-8. The MP-8 30th is available in a larger size compared to the original and features rich tortoise and translucent acetates. Designed with a filigree wire, bridge and temples, and with an acetate insert, the MP-8 30th is set to be as iconic as its predecessor, said its marketers.
