For the best of both worlds, the neubau Sigmund & Carl Special Edition implements elements of both frame styles and creates its own mix between thin steel elements and bold natural PX components. Aside from its strikingly unorthodox visual appearance, the model also introduces a newly developed hinge concept adorned with an integrated logo on the moving hinge segment. The psychologically inspired special edition will launch in three colorways: White with Silky Rose lenses and Black paired with either Electric Silver or Glorious Gold lenses. The resulting Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung edition is a true meeting of the minds, looking for confident wearers.

Watch out! Things are about to get deep and psychological, as Austrian label neubau sets out to blend the psychoanalytic approach of their compatriot Sigmund Freud with the theories of Swiss luminary Carl Gustav Jung. Historically, the two pioneers actually did work together for several years, before finding themselves cast as adversaries in the scientific arena, and ultimately ceased personal interactions altogether. The two may finally be reconciled, thanks to neubau’s efforts releasing in April 2018, not in the form of a manuscript, but a unique frame that blends the distinct eyewear styles of Freud and Jung into one design. It’s a tall order, because after all, the bold frame style preferred by Freud is hard to reconcile with the delicate lightness of Jung’s glasses. 38

DESIGNER INTERVIEW
MASUN DESIG
The collaboration between MASUNAGA and Kenzo Takada marks the meeting of two Japanese eyewear heavyweights. On one hand, MASUNAGA commands over 100 years of expertise as a traditional family business known for high-quality eyewear. ON THE OTHER, KENZO TAKADA HAS BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL HOUSEHOLD NAME SINCE MOVING FROM JAPAN TO PARIS OVER 50 YEARS AGO TO BUILD KENZO INTO A GLOBAL BRAND. AND ALTHOUGH HE SOLD HIS NAMESAKE FASHION EMPIRE ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO, KENZO TAKADA REMAINS TRUE TO HIS MAIN PASSION: PRODUCT DESIGN. HE HAS BEEN CREATING PRODUCTS WITH HIS SIGNATURE TOUCH IN A NUMBER OF SEGMENTS, FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS ALSO INCLUDING EYEWEAR.
HIS MASUNAGA BY KENZO TAKADA COLLECTION HAS GARNERED WIDESPREAD ATTENTION WITH ITS PAIRING OF CRAFTSMANSHIP, DETAILED FINISHES, AND UPSCALE MATERIALIZATIONS. SPECTR MET THE ICONIC FASHION DESIGNER AT HIS PARIS STUDIO FOR A PHOTO SHOOT AND AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE LATEST ADDITIONS TO THE MASUNAGA BY KENZO TAKADA LEGACY. 56

THE STORY OF KENZO TAKADA Mr. Takada, your entire work life was strongly influenced by designing products. Why is design more important than many people might believe? Design is part of everything that surrounds us. Architecture, art, products, food – all that we see and consume requires some kind of design aspects. Would you say that these design aspects change over time? Design has been part of human creativity for centuries, and we keep getting better and better at it with new technologies and strong know-how. To me it is an essential part of life. You spent many years working as a fashion designer. In retrospect, what are your main achievements from this time and what makes designing fashion so unique? I was always interested in working in fashion. Even at a very young age, I knew I wanted to create and design. My main achievement was probably to follow and pursue these dreams. But at the time, fashion design was a rather unusual path for men, right? When I finished high school, boys couldn’t study fashion. It was considered as a woman’s industry in Japan. But about one year later, Bunka Fashion College opened to men and I directly applied, even though my parents were against it. I had to do side jobs to pay for my study, as I lost their support. Living in Japan in the era following WWII was difficult, and it was an era of sobriety. 57

Once you fall in love with Paris, the city has a way of making you come back again and again. There is just too much to explore. Far beyond the usual trinity of Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Sacre Coeur lies a wealth of architectural gems that would be centerpiece attractions in any other place. These include the Palais de Tokyo, a spectacular building with an open front overlooking the River Seine, originally built in 1937 for the Paris World Exhibition as a museum and exhibition space dedicated to modern art. The Palais is not an automatic choice for Paris tourists, but it should be. After all, the marble steps on the surrounding plaza have been a prime destination for skateboarders from around the world for decades. And serious art aficionados treasure the revolving exhibits hosted at the Palais every season.

Over the years, modo collections have drawn inspiration from a variety of influences. But despite their strikingly different constructions, the glasses have always shown a coherent overall aesthetic. The common denominator between all collections is modo’s commitment to blending innovative designs with the latest technologies. In the current line, purists will appreciate the many models with new, screwless hinges, including the modo »7007«. Featuring a double bridge design, the »7007« is the flagship of the new R1000 + Titanium Series, which applies modo’s Paper-Thin concept to the equally flexible and resilient R1000 high-tech plastic. The Paper-Thin Ultra collection also applies the screwless hinge concept in models such as the »4413« and »4414«. Overall, another standout achievement of modo collections

For some readers it may come as a surprise that markus t is offering select eyewear styles with the option to cover the titanium temples in gold. Because for a number of years, the German designer label has enjoyed a reputation for clean and reductionist styles, not “bling”. But it all makes sense by looking at how markus t implements the 24-karat gold coating in a non-overbearing manner. Thanks to the label’s signature use of colorways, the warm golden tone becomes part of a coherent whole in true markus t style. As an innovative feature, the gold is applied via a special vacuum process to ensure a long-lasting sheen. The result is a clear and brilliant surface texture that lends a refined finish to premium markus t models, including the ME Pur collection. Other parts of the markus t portfolio available with optional gold finish include the ME Genius, ME Ego, TITAN Aura, TITAN Terra and SUN ME. Here’s a look at the golden age of eyewear. 88

California eyewear label salt. has established itself as a household name at the world’s finest boutiques. Their eyewear is crafted at the finest Japanese workshops with an eye for fashionable attitude and natural understatement. In the current salt. collection, we fell in love with the »Flekman« and »Pettibone« models. Both frames offer a characteristic blend of bold lines and feminine curvatures. They both also come in rich color choices, with our personal faves including black and the transparent antique rose. Who knew salt. could be so sweet? 90

In October 2017, ROLF SPECTACLES won the Silmo d’Or Award in the Technological Innovation category for what is now the third time. Is anyone surprised? Not really! Just the opposite: The award is quite a shoe-in, as the model behind their entry in the competition, the »Deville«, is based on the company’s innovative Flexlock technology blended with natural materials. Built on a multi-directional concept, the new hinge is bound to usher in a new era of ultra-resilient wooden frames.

NEW TECH
Despite the brand-new hinge concept, rolf remains true to its inherent product philosophy of using only 100-percent natural materials. The new hinge is entirely free of metal and, compared to conventional wooden models, offers an unprecedented level of flexibility. It is exactly this kind of flexibility that helps the multidirectional Flexlock hinges achieve such an improvement in stability. The hinge is able to balance impact from any direction without difficulty, almost Zen-like in its adjustments to flow. And how exactly does the new system achieve such a feat? The temples are connected to the frame via delicate engravings, which provide a secure fit in its closed position. At the same time, the design also allows for turning the temples in any direction, without fragmenting the surrounding hinge. The key component tasked with bringing the temples back into their initial position is a natural rubber band, threaded through the hinge to form a secure connection between frames and temples. The band is available in three different levels of rigidity, allowing each wearer to choose their desired level of flexibility. The Flexlock construction is one of those designs that is so logical, one cannot help but wonder why it had not been invented earlier. In order to take the novel concept to the test, the Austrian designers put the Flexlock hinges through 10,000 test cycles, before Roland Wolf and team awarded their own seal of approval. The new hinge breakthrough is once again proof that rolf spectacles is keeping its eye on the big picture: Creating eyewear that combines natural materials and high-grade construction processes into covetable objects of value. Objects that function exquisitely while making no compromises in terms of design language and aesthetics of form. Seeing is believing and to anyone looking to experience the new hinges in action, we recommend a visit to the nearest rolf optician who will be happy to provide a demo. Balanced, classical design with clear lines and a thin rim, produced from precious wood – awardwinning technology has never looked this beautiful.

lindberg once again lives up to the brand’s reputation as an innova-
tor in the eyewear segment. In terms of materials, the Danish designer label from the town of Aarhus has been known as a key driver of new approaches. Now lindberg is back to launch the Træ + Buffalo collection as a three-way hybrid which elevates the proven Buffalo Titanium Line. The backsides of the frames consist of multi-layered buffalo horn, blended with a wooden front implementing four species of wood: Olive, Padauk, Ebony, and Smoked Oak. Meanwhile, all temples, hinges, and nose bridges in the collection’s models are crafted from lightweight lindberg titanium that can be molded to fit the individual wearer. Out of the innovative blend of these three materials arises the characteristic beauty of the Træ + Buffalo collection. No two pairs in the collection are entirely alike, making this a truly unique take on premium eyewear executed with premium craftsmanship.

tomized manufacturing. We try to minimize the risk by creating a 3D-printed prototype within less than a week. Much like ordering a bespoke suit, the customer can come in for a fitting. This also allows for final touch-ups or alterations. And when everything is in its right place, we go into production. How long does it take before customers can pick up their glasses at the optical store? stephan grotz: As of now, the manufacturing of a custom-fitted

And we are also very happy to start into our third year in business with a completely fresh and quite unique collection. And if you had to choose, which material would be your personal favorite? sebastian zenet ti: Paul McCartney once said, “My favorite
Beatles song is the one that sells the best.” So if I really had to make a choice, I would go for the material that performs best. But why not just wait and see? The most important thing is that our customers are satisfied and we are free to keep pursuing our own ideas.

The year 2017 marked a big moment for rimless frames, and the trend is far from slowing down as the pendulum swings into next year. Having already made strong headway in rimless eyewear designs in 2017 with their Perspective collection, götti follows up with fresh variations on the theme. The most notable achievement lies with their rimless sunglasses: The Swiss brand achieves new perspectives on shades with a meticulously constructed, reductionist design. All the expression rests on the lenses, and these come in new, gorgeous tints in the current 2018 collection, including Light Forest and Light Macchiato. And since rimless frames are not restricted to specific silhouettes, the lenses shine in a variety of shapes and proportions. For a field test, we took these beauties for a walk in the Northern African metropolis of Marrakesh.

Regardless of their production schedules, manufacturers seem to agree that brand image is just as important as technical features these days. So it’s no surprise that eyewear brand communications are also aligning more closely with fashion labels. One of the pioneers at the intersection of fashion and eyewear hails from a quaint town in Southern Germany and is known by the name of reiz. With a reputation as one of Germany’s most sophisticated brands, reiz has made a name for itself on the international scene. We caught up with the label’s two co-founders Franz Reutter and Jochen Gutbrod in Paris at the picturesque Place des Vosges, to which both feel strongly connected. Situated in the heart of the city’s trending fashion district Marais, the Place des Vosges is the perfect setting for a SPECTR Philosophy Talk on the intricacies of fashion and the current zeitgeist, which reiz continues to capture successfully. 152

At this point in time, the eyewear universe has been fully conquered by the fashion world. Many optical stores now boast interior designs worthy of high fashion boutiques, rather than the traditional image of “serious” (and sterile) optical shops. ALONG THE SAME LINES, OPTICAL BRANDS ALSO ASSUME AN INCREASINGLY STYLE-ORIENTED APPROACH IN THEIR POSITIONING, WHILE ADAPTING TO MANY OF THE FAST-LIVING TRENDS AND INNOVATIONS FROM THE OPTICAL BUSINESS. THESE SYNERGIES EXTEND BEYOND MERE PRODUCT DESIGNS AND COLOR CHOICES BASED ON CURRENT FASHION COLLECTIONS. THEY ALSO AFFECT THE WAY EYEWEAR IS BROUGHT TO MARKET, WITH COLLECTION RELEASE INTERVALS INCREASINGLY MATCHING THE FAST PACE OF FASHION COLLECTIONS.
AS A LOGICAL CONSEQUENCE, MANUFACTURERS ARE UNDER PRESSURE TO KEEP UP SUPPLY, WHICH OFTEN DEMANDS DEEP-TISSUE ADJUSTMENTS IN PRODUCTION PROCESSES. THEN AGAIN, THE TREND IS NOT UNIVERSAL, AND A COUNTERMOVEMENT AGAINST “FAST FASHION” IS ALREADY MOUNTING. Hello, guys. “Fashion in the eyewear business” has been a hot button

P H I L O S O P H Y TA L K
loads of individual shops to be discovered, and places vibrating with a certain energy. One of these locations is the Place des Vosges, where we have been showcasing our new collections for several years now. Why not exhibit your new releases in a tradeshow setting? franz: The Place des Vosges is this small, vibrant oasis. You can
find anything here – from hipsters having a picnic to grannies just observing the bustle in the streets. jochen: The annual Fashion Week happening at the same time
here in the Marais is also an interesting story for us. Despite all these contrasts, the Place des Vosges has often been called the “heart of Paris” – a rather fitting statement, I would say. So what better place to present new eyewear than an historic building overlooking a park, far away from all the trouble and strife? No sensual overload at tradeshows, but instead open windows and lots of light, plus enough time for our clients. This peaceful atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for real conversations, even beyond eyewear. And your clients are willing to go out of their way to come here? franz: Sure. Many of them are looking to experience Paris outside
the tradeshow – much like we are – and are happy to come see us before or after the show. Every year, it’s a unique meeting with special people at an exciting location. jochen: These things tend to continue until late in the night. So
we are going the same route as our clients who are creating a special shopping experience at their stores. How would you characterize the “shopping experience” at today’s optical boutiques? franz: Today it goes beyond expertise, friendly service and a feeling
of being well taken care of to the ambiance. Stores with harmonious styling, hip sales staff, and relaxed conduct are a must. It’s trending away from the traditional optician in a lab coat. What would be some prime examples?
“TODAY IT GOES BEYOND EXPERTISE, FRIENDLY SERVICE AND A FEELING OF BEING WELL TAKEN CARE OF TO THE AMBIANCE. ”
jochen: I would definitely point out stores such as Steingasse 14
in Heidelberg, Six Million Glasses in Hamburg, and Entre Vues Seven in Lyon. But that’s just a small selection of great shops. Why is the fashion aspect gaining importance in the eyewear industry? franz: Moving forward, being in motion – why should it all end
at just glasses? The word “visual aid” and the “lab coat” have all but vanished from stores by now. Glasses have grown to become a fashion accessory. The former visual aid has matured into an irreplaceable fashion product. jochen: Ultimately, the amount of significance applied to a frame
is entirely up to the individual wearer. Our calling lies in manufacturing something that delights people and accompanies them for some time. Where do you draw inspiration for your product designs from? jochen: There are various sources of inspiration. From energetic
personalities, to nature with all its colors and hues, all the way to the shapes and lines to be discovered everywhere. franz: We also absorb colors and shapes from the fashion seg-
ment to some degree, and implement them in the reiz DNA. But our goal lies not in creating some kind of clone. We would much 154
P H I L O S O P H Y TA L K
rather nurture reiz-specific products on our own nutritious soil. And inspiration for shapes and colors must not necessarily reflect current fashion trends. Other areas can provide the spark to think about a new shape. Fashion is also changing brand communications. You have a long history of working with renowned fashion photographers on elaborate campaigns. franz: The most important thing for us is to ensure the right
chemistry between us, the photographer, and the collection. On the part of the photographer, it requires a certain kind of sensibility and delicate approach, in order to recognize the themes behind different collections and mirror them in imagery. jochen: We also don’t want to create some kind of artificial image.
We really want the photographer to be able to create visual results that we can identify with. The result just has to be reiz. On our last campaign, we had the great fortune to work with a great photographer from Stuttgart, who really read our minds with her expressionist, often bizarre interpretations. Is a positioning as a fashion label necessary in order to stay relevant as a brand? franz: The time spans, during which fashion trends exist, are
becoming increasingly shorter. The face of products is changing faster and faster. Following these trends can become rather confusing. Hitting the zeitgeist, for us appears as the best option to get noticed as a label. It’s important to stand for something as a label and gain recognition for it. Are you noticing an increasing importance of brand image? Does eyewear go beyond just technical features, proper fit, and how well it suits a wearer? jochen: Fit and technical functionality are prerequisites, and
how well it suits someone is really a matter of taste. Product design and brand communications are not the only areas mirroring the fashion business. Collection cycles are also aligning more closely with textiles. jochen: The cycles are indeed getting increasingly shorter. Custo-
mers demand longevity but also continued novelty. This is where playing with colors works well, for instance with a limited edition special colorway or model. The media is also full of capsule collections and collaborations with
artists and designers from other fields. Has reiz been playing in this field
as well? franz: Capsule collections do not necessarily have to originate
from collaborations with artists or designers, although we aren’t ruling anything out. Over the years we have always developed series within our product portfolio that were launched “encapsulated” from the rest of our basic collection. We used these series to play with themes as a canvas, from which we developed a new direction several times. jochen: For example, many years ago we did a collaboration with
bmw / mini, during which a wonderful mini Clubman in matted
black originated. In parallel, reiz developed a limited edition with ten numbered frames in matted black. But does an eyewear label even have to cater to these short cycles? Does reiz? 155
"ULTIMATELY, THE AMOUNT OF SIGNIFICANCE APPLIED TO A FRAME IS ENTIRELY UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL WEARER. OUR CALLING LIES IN MANUFACTURING SOMETHING THAT DELIGHTS PEOPLE AND ACCOMPANIES THEM FOR SOME TIME."
P H I L O S O P H Y TA L K
jochen: We are currently working with seven collections, but to-
wards the end of the year we will bring it down to four collections. That’s our basis for adding back on. What are some criteria to factor into the equation? franz: With short cycles, it’s all about not overextending produc-
tion capacities all the while maintaining high standards. Quality is the main priority for us – far beyond frequency. So we are not necessarily catering to the fast-lived cycles, as to not lose our focus. There is already a countermovement, marked by reductionism and deceleration. A great eyewear style does not need to be reinvented every year, right? jochen: Definitely not. Beautiful, expressive forms will always
remain on-trend. Basically, eyeglasses can never really be reinvented. But we can find new interpretations or executions on shapes to make them suit the zeitgeist again. Our anniversary series R20 Jubiläumsserie brings this home. The design sketches originated in 1996 and have been offered again in 2016 in a reinterpreted run. Our goal is to create a product that can endure beyond fashion trends. Simply put: to create classics. At the same time, reiz is regarded as a fashionable eyewear label. Does the larger trend towards fashion serve you or make things difficult for you? franz: It’s neither one or the other. Ultimately, there is not a trend
that couldn’t be matched with glasses. reiz represents fashion on one side, but on the other side a down-to-earth operation guided by time-honored Southern German principles. You have been playing with the Optitektur collection for the past seasons. What is the overall importance for you?
jochen: Our Optitektur series really marked a changing point.
New optics, new shapes, new styles. A deep remodel of the reiz design-DNA. As part of this creative shift, the reiz Lovely series transitions into the Optitektur line. Is such a creative shift possible without losing your brand identity? franz: To quote the former head of the international trade com-
mission in Stuttgart: “The only permanent thing is one confronting change.” What can we expect in the near future from REIZ? jochen: More fashionable and quality high-end frames that bring
joy to reiz wearers. Thanks for the interview.
Communication as usual. Always strong, never boring. 156

Looking to wear beautiful and high-quality glasses made in Japan and Italy, from a label that places extra emphasis on artistic ambitions? A label that regards eyeglasses as more than just frames fitted with lenses, held in place by temples on both sides? In other words, a brand that’s set on adding a unique vision to the world of eyewear design? Then we recommend having a look at massada. Founders Kate and Chris are full of creative energy – not to mention connections to the brightest minds in art and fashion – and know well that brand identity also

originates in the subconscious. In order to satisfy their artistic ambitions, the two supplement their frame designs with a range of accessories and parallel projects, always with a love for detail and artistic execution. For a visual introduction, have a look at the massada Art Projects on their website and prepare to be amazed by the stunning visuals across mixed media. The products themselves are equally impressive, and our office has never received a shipment in which we took 20 minutes to unwrap all the gorgeous accessories. These included a vinyl record, comic book, and a high-grade leather-bound notebook in genuine stitch binding. The verdict: Nothing about massada is standard issue, everything is high art. This issue’s Best Accessories Award goes to the Swiss label.

MARTIN & MARTIN »Ollie«
For the past 20 years, Cologne-based independent label martin & martin have been designing eyewear for a cosmopolitan customer base with a sure hand for grasping the current zeitgeist. Founder Martin Lehmann’s experience as a designer culminates in the current collection’s »Ollie« model, a classical rounded shape that blends the comfortable feel of an acetate frame with modern, thin-lined metal temples. True to martin & martin tradition, the »Ollie« model comes replete with added value: in this case added layers and added depth. Working with innovative cutting techniques, multilayer acetate sheets are shaped into three-dimensional frames that still retain their delicate look due to the use of transparent acetate. The verdict: A combination of high tech and high style that’s ready to make a strong entry in 2018 – and beyond. 162

BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK FLEYE »Phi 006«

No matter what happens, black will never go out of fashion. Despite the constant onslaught of new wannabe trend colors claiming to be “the new black”, the original stands its ground while proving

its staying power over other members of the color spectrum. Then again, black is not really a color in the actual sense, but originates from the absence of visual stimuli. So it’s really an anti-color, which may explain its subversive, understated and self-confident chic. Old or new, black is back for 2018 in these wonderful models ready to absorb all the light (and

OLIVER PEOPLES »M4 30th«
Meet the latest protagonist in our Curated Shopping segment: Philipp Foret has become, despite his relatively young age, quite the heavyweight in the German eyewear industry. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the 31-year-old approaches the market from several angles. He began his training in 2004 and right after earning his degree started working as an optician at Optik Leidmann in Munich. In his position as manager and buyer for the avantgarde optical store, he has his finger on the pulse of trending eyewear designs from leading brands which makes him the perfect style guide. But Philipp’s sphere of influence extends far beyond Munich. As a member of The German Collective, an association of forward-thinking

independent opticians, he has dialed into a net-

work of some of the most innovative stores across the country. He shares a special connection to the Steingasse 14 store in Heidelberg, which he started as a founding partner. Across the border, Philipp also keeps in touch with the eyewear scene in Switzerland, where he has been representing the Reiz brand since 2010. As for his personal style preference, Philipp likes it round. For this issue’s Curated Shopping, he picked out his three current favorite models, and modeled them himself in front of the camera for a complete package. 194

In 2010, KARMOIE was launched as a Norwegian designer label with a special focus. While the company’s frames represent the highest in design mastery and quality, the two company founders Kirsten and Lars Iversen enhanced their brand DNA to achieve a specific goal that goes beyond selling eyewear: creating long-lasting positive effects by providing people in the most remote corners of the world with access to corrective eyewear. 196
Kirsten, your karmoie brand operates from a strong sense of social responsibility. What is your personal motivation? kirsten: We are grateful to have grown up in a society with abun-
dant possibilities and access to all the help we might need. We were raised in families that value helping one another and have had good role models that are eager to assist friends and family in need. So for us, gratitude and giving back really go together. Honestly, knowing how blessed you are without wanting to show generosity in return feels shallow.

kirsten:
We donate one pair of corrective glasses for every pair of karmoie glasses or sunglasses we sell. We wanted “giving back” to be an intrinsic part of our product rather than dependent on our financial success.

They appreciate the experience of getting their glasses from an optician that has a curated and interesting selection of frames.

NEW IN TOWN
s tills EDA CAL IS T I Don’t be fooled by the title Less from Bellinger, because it’s actually just the opposite of what the Danish designer label is planning for 2018. Get ready for more, and by that we mean more creativity and design. bellinger is gearing up for the launch of a new sub-brand, entitled
Less. The philosophy of Less revolves around the Danish design ethos based on minimalist and elegant expressions with a clean form language. It is a new direction for bellinger, who is one of three existing labels under the Bellinger House umbrella: Bellinger, Blac and Entourage of 7.
LESS
The Less collection is based on the bellinger design DNA,
»1816«
which since the founding of the brand by Malene and Claus Bellinger Diederichsen in 2003 has been marked by bold color combinations and expressive designs. Less continues the broad color spectrum, but also adds equally charismatic print patterns to the mix for a unique, personal look and feel in an innovative package.

»1811« But there’s more to the brand than just stylistics: Upon closer inspection, the subtle nuances of Less come to light. Based on new technical innovations, the label has created a new and much thinner high-density acetate frame. According to Claus Bellinger Diederichsen, the frame is not only among the lightest available on the market, but also the strongest. The lightness of Less frames is due to the acetate front combined with a fashionable top lamination in super thin acetate. Also bringing down the weight are slim Beta-Titanium temples in gold, silver, and new colors. The resulting frames offer a high degree of comfort, combined with exclusive fashion appeal. Look forward to the release of Less in January 2018 with an initial offering composed of seven frame designs, with added variety through a selection of patterns and colorways in true bellinger-style. Once again proof that Less is more – more design with a typical Danish twist in proven quality from the label based in Risskov, Denmark.

About one year ago, Austrian eyewear label andy wolf acquired a small eyewear workshop in the French Jura region, specializing in manufacturing delicate metal frames. With lots of love for detail, every single pair is crafted by hand. Naturally, such a process requires time, but andy wolf is willing to make the effort with gorgeous results including the latest Bi-Color Design collection. As the underlying concept, this new line combines ultra-delicate
»4734«
frame constructions with carefully appointed colorways for a coherent overall presentation. The two-tone color design is created by covering certain parts of the frame in aluminum foil right after the galvanizing process and before applying the paint coating. The final results are then fixated via lacquer finish in order to preserve the colorways for years of prolonged wear. Standout colors for the new season include subtle hues such as Mint, Lavender, and an especially charming Mustard tone.

photos EDA CAL IS T I ÖGA ÖSTRA is an alliteration with a mysterious ring to it, at least to those not proficient in Scandinavian languages. Translated literally, the moniker boils down to a not-so-mystical combination of two elements: öga is a well-known eyewear brand under the umbrella of traditional company Morel, while Östra is the new collection that was developed in the French Jura region from a blend of extravagant materials. In the true meaning of the word, Östra means “East” in Swedish. Inspired by the rising sun, öga creates a playful blend of wood, rubber and metal. Among these ingredients, wood is the central focus in order to lend a sense of warmth to all Östra models. And to ensure that the wood is able to adapt to the anatomy of individual wearers, the insides and tips of the temples are lined with injected rubber for comfortable wear.

COLLECTION CHECK
Added flex comes from a stainless steel insert within the wooden temples. The contrasting mix of materials is supplemented by a variety of rare woods, sourced by öga from
ÖGA »100600«
sustainable forests. The brand uses Santos and Indian Rosewood for the brown hues, Wenge for the dark brown tones, and Macassar Ebony for the black colors. The Östra collection’s unique diversity goes far beyond exotic woods, as öga implements two fundamentally different concepts: All Östra 1 models connect wooden temples to sleek titanium frames, while the
»100610«
semi-frameless styles of the Östra 2 concept feature frame fronts also composed of elegant wood components. On the backside of the front segments, rubber once again ensures comfortable wear in a model available in sizes M to XL, two of which have keyhole bridges with clean lines. Wearable, thin and comfortable, the Östra collection by öga will seduce all those who want wooden frames without sacrificing the comfort or design of their glasses.

EDITOR’S CHOICE
photo RAP HAEL S CHMIT Z Sunglasses deserve credit for pulling their weight far beyond protecting sensitive eyes from glaring sunlight. Sunglasses make strong stylistic statements and add an aura of authority and glory to the wearer. It’s all about the way we wear sunglasses and when and where we decide to wear them that makes the difference. Who wears their sunglasses at night? Some people can actually pull it off! Someone who has been known to set trends in sunglasses design is Alain Mikli, who recently partnered up with California label oliver peoples on a rather stylish specimen: The »Ayer« model is dedicated to individualists with a strong sense of confident style. Marked by large cutouts and extravagant lines, this one swims well outside the mainstream, letting the world know: “I know the difference between Le Corbusier and Courvoisier!”

Started in 2012 as a pure-play fashion brand, Swiss label einstoffen soon expanded its stylistic presence to the
eyewear segment. Through a series of critically acclaimed releases, the brand built an international reputation as a purveyor of stylish frames crafted from natural materials. But there is more: Since late 2017, einstoffen has also reached beyond fashion and eyewear and made serious forays into chronographs (not an unlikely choice for a Swiss company). The new time keepers also retain the natural 206

materials of other einstoffen products, blended with Swiss precision clockwork tooling. And much like the label’s eyewear, the watches also offer a snug, anatomic fit that is the result of a coherent overall design DNA. Stylistically, einstoffen watches fall on the understated side of the segment as the perfect compliment to the eyewear range. If you are looking to cover the finer things in life with just one brand, now is the time to give einstoffen a look. 207
