Four For Fall

The best of eyewear takes style a step further this season

BY AMY SPIEZIO

01 GLASSES IN GLASSES.

The ultimate in layering, the glasses-in-glasses trend mixes metals and plastics, metals and woods, and even acetates with other laminations to make a chunky look more wearable and streamlined.

 

The new Blake Kuwahara collection pushes design and technology boundaries by putting acetate frame in acetate frame for crystal-covered modern looks with texture and dimension. Shown here, style Ando.

02 BEYOND BASIC BROW BARS.

The traditional brow bar is taken to an entirely new level this year with arches in metal and acetate that match or contrast, all the while adding an avant garde splash to what used to be a very staid look.

MYKITA + Maison Martin Margiela style MMESSE008 offers a souped-up double bar that is anything but your father’s sunglasses, with a metallic finish and pop pink coloring adding even more style to the quotient.

03 MERRY GO ROUND.

The round trend continues to encircle the leading design looks, with different takes on proportion and materials that give these frames and sunglasses more wearability without sacrificing their edginess.

Orgreen’s Stella Polaris frame is an oversized round with extensions on the middle axis that break up the shaping of the frame into a less perfect, more flattering design “for nouveau hippies and global nomads alike.”

04 GREENER PASTURES.

Greens and blues continue to brighten up eyewear with shades reminiscent of land and sea, often with color accents that provide a touch of elegance to light-hearted hues.

Lafont style Petale in soft green also plays on the continuing popularity of the cat-eye shape with tailored layers of acetate creating a flattering upsweep around the eye, as well as a deeper B measurement that updates a classic shape.
