ON STAGE

DUTZ EYEWEAR

Looking ahead in times of uncertainty is not easy. Nostalgia makes us feel safe. Back to black is also a way to deal of dealing with these challenging times but the seemingly unanimous vision of many designers for fall 2020 is that everyone wants to have fun with clothes and accessories again. Whether it’s cheerful colors, festive textures or items reminiscent of childhood (like bows and tulle dresses), it looks like our wardrobes and attitude will take an optimistic turn this fall. At Dutz Eyewear they are also optimistic. They see fashion as a way of self-expression and therefore hope. This year, the colors of their collections seem to come straight from a paint box. Pantone Amberglow, for example: “Radiant, exuberant autumn orange hues that promote confidence and creative self-expression,” according to Pantone. And GREEN SHEEN, a bold acid yellow-green shade that will always stand out and exudes a natural freshness, although not directly associated with the winter season.

Dsquared2

Dsquared2 presents the first kids’ collection, for children from 8 to 11 years old, revisiting iconic models from the main collection. In the sun category we find a classic female cat-eye and a more squared male model, both made of black acetate. The optical frames are characterised by a mix of pop and havana shades combined with black temples as in the masculine DQ5342 model with a squared retro acetate silhouette. The iconic plate with the “D2” detail is on the temple end-piece.

Ana Hickmann

La parola chiave della nuova collezione Ana Hickmann, presentata da GO Eyewear Group, è la riscoperta degli occhiali da vista e da sole oversize, con forme geometriche ispirate alle esagerazioni degli anni ’70 ma con un approccio attuale e senza dimenticare l’essenza del brand. La collezione esalta il glitter con una fresca combinazione di colori, unendo verdi opachi e rossi ai cristalli.

Diesel Eyewear

DL0337 by Diesel Eyewear. A limited edition with a rock soul, a statement piece made of an interesting mix of metal and injected that gives character and dynamism to the glasses. A contemporary take on the timeless pilot shape personalized with interesting cut-outs between the structure and the lens. The very thin metal temples are enriched with injected terminals that reflect the colors of the front. A shape that recalls the industrial Diesel world for a futuristic and unique look.

AM Eyewear

AM Eyewear returns with an elevated perspective in their 2021 collection ‘FRESH’, drawing inspiration from the heavens, grounded in a collection of new crystal frames with refreshing hues from soft khaki dusk to sophisticated blue sky. Designed through a year when many sheltered in place, looking to the sky for answers, AM Eyewear’s founder Simon Ponnusamy found his own answers above the horizon of Sydney’s Opera House, Harbour Bridge and iconic harbour - the breathtaking colour gradient that flooded throughout each day, morning to night. This season’s frames pay homage to iconic styles from the 50’s to the 2000’s with modern updates including the distinct double laminate crystal temples, blending opal effect acetates with crystal hues.

Lunor

Come fly with me – the new collection M14 by Lunor is a display of longing, the desire to travel, and wanderlust. It gets its inspiration from the shape of the aviator goggles out of which the Lunor designers created completely new edgy models. The frame reflects the two poles of the desire to travel and outlasting a time characterized by travel interruptions. M14 is available in four different shapes in the colors antique gold, antique silver and satin rose gold. The designers also deliberately opted for using titanium, the aeronautic material, whereby the M14 is a real lightweight.

LAMARCA

Tris Ottica’s Lamarca® brand was born in 2014 and at the center of its design criteria comes first visual comfort then aesthetics, which appears original and often daring but never screamed or excessive. Distinctive the use of color that becomes the protagonist of exclusivity with original and “sentimentally” Italian combinations, a note that makes them appreciated all over the world. Profili is a graphic and bold collection, obtained through complex bonding. The full and emphasized colors express a design concept that alludes to overlapping of different shapes and empty spaces, represented by transparent parts.

Reflect Eyewear

Reflect Eyewear was founded in London in 2018 by Andrea Pisano and international house Dj Francesco del Garda. Andrea grew up in his family-run sunglasses lab near Varese, in northern Italy and he soon developed a passion for designing frames. When he moved to Ibiza first and then London, Andrea discovered and become passionate about the underground club scene and its distinctive apparel. Soon afterwards, followed his first forays into fashion. As a result of these experiences, Andrea decided to create an eyewear brand with Francesco. The Metropolis Collection is strongly influenced by the lifestyle in big cities and London in particular, where the weather is unpredictable and the underground widely used. In response to these quickly changing light conditions, the sunglasses in the Metropolis collection feature clear 24hr lenses or two-toned lenses with a dark upper and a clear bottom.

Davette’s Lunettes, a vintage inspired eyewear creative brand, has introduced the first international collaboration with iconic eyewear Casanova Occhiali and its brand TAXI.

Ten optional color complete the collection, all limited editions.

Tarian

mod MELI MELO

Meli Melo is a hybrid crossing of elements in different natures. In the world of design and architecture, this word particularly resonates this fall. In the new Tarian collection steel works in shiny or brushed finishes, and bi-colour inlays. Through a play of lines inspired by architecture and construction principles, the Horizon collection is created by superimposing volume. Fifty years after the first step on the moon – The Space Age – an ephemeral trend of the late sixties – is the starting point of this collection. With oval shapes, plump structures and vigorous colours, Space and Sky Bar sunglasses bring a retro-futuristic aesthetic that breaks with the present.

Omas Design

Elegance and refinement intertwine in the new eyewear and sunglasses collections by Omas Design. In the line of geometric sunglasses carvings recall the Bohemian glassmaking art, as chiseled in the colored live shaped lenses. In some women’s models we find a rare and sophisticated effect, obtained thanks to a special processing of the rod in which is inserted a tubular element studded with rhinestones. The use of gold and palladium is an expression of the preciousness that has always distinguished OMAS products, strictly Made in Italy.
