Try Change, a brand of eyeglasses with interchangeable temples exclusive from Allison, offers eight new models for spring 2013. The new collection features new shapes, new shades and new materials. Though Try Change is well-known for its rimless offerings, full-rim styles are in the spotlight this season with a range of four super-trendy shapes alternating from round to the fashionable 80s retro looks. Other styles hit a more feminine note with beveling and softer shapes. In addition, slim geometric styles tempt those seeking a more architectural look. Each model is available in both in optical and sun versions in five colors. Try eyewear is constructed in super-light and durable polyamide that is used both for lenses and for the frame for dramatic color play, semi-transparent, and flash mirror finishes. All Try Change styles have interchangeable temples and buyers receive a set of spare temples with the purchase of each pair. INFO: allison.it |

8 Summer Unfolds |
---|
FLEYE’s Spring/Summer 2013 styles are the result of a collaboration with the up-and-coming Danish architect and origami artist Amanda Betz. The new FLEYE collection is crafted in Japanese beta-titanium with elegant and folded-paper-inspired patterns such as boxes, diagonals, and hexagons cut into the titanium fronts. To market the campaign, Betz uses her origami techniques to interpret these frame front patterns and made some beautiful, large-scale paper creations to accompany the eyewear designs. Colors in the collection include blends of pink, purple/blue, and dark green; steel and blue, and other bright hues. INFO: +45 4647 0000, fleye.dk |
