Fashion update – September 2018

Kate Sylvester

Kate Sylvester’s spring collection features three new sun- and five optical frames. The collection offers “strong, feminine shapes imbued with Kate’s understated, effortless aesthetic and introduces pops of rose pink and vibrant green alongside a tonal colour palette,” said the company. An avid reader, Sylvester has named her optical frames after authors she loves. Featured here is Renata (Renata Alder) while the sunglasses are named after some of her favourite book characters, for example Peggy (Guggenheim) and Dorian (Gray).

WOOW and Face à Face

Woow’s new season range has re-interpreted the big 70s shapes and styles and introduced transparencies in new and

different ways. Illustrated here by its bold Pop-Up frame featuring a combination of thin metal and colourful acetate.

Face à Face’s new concepts have also arrived and like its sister brand Woow, they play with transparencies and colours. Blast, featured here, gives the wearer an “edgy look” and is available in two shapes, 50s inspired high-square and wide classic cat-eye, and comes in five different colours.
