The latest in frame line extensions

GOOD FOR SPRING

Marcolin’s Timberland style TB9068, called Pembroke, pays homage to the signature Timberland style with a wraparound shape and thicker, flexible temples. Also part of the Earthkeepers line, this weather-ready, slip-resistant frame is an ideal outdoor accessory. Pembroke is one of two Earthkeepers styles for Spring/Summer 2014. The frames are made of 55 percent bio-based plastic. The Pembroke is a highlight of the Timberland Spring/Summer 2014 Eyewear collection, which focuses on style and performance, the brand’s formula considered when designing and developing all of its products. Embracing the style aspect, the model represents sleek, everyday frames that still maintain their ability to hold up to the elements. It is part of a lifestyle collection that merges authentic craftsmanship with modern accents.

THRILLING DISCUSSION

The latest design from Koali explores the Amazonian waters for its inspiration. Discus, a tropical fish with brilliant colors and patterns, inspires the concept. Discus frame fronts are produced with transparent sheet acetate to create unique, double-layered color that changes as it catches light. Finish and color tones are accentuated by beveling on the front and temples. Transparent temples reveal a decorative openwork metal core evoking the patterns of the Discus fish. Three contemporary acetate shapes are offered in a palette of four colors per model.

Bling’s the Thing

Live Eyewear has released a new subset of the Vistana fitover collection featuring inlaid crystal temple adornments. The new models debuted at last month’s International Vision Expo East. The “iced” versions will be available in all Vistana frame sizes and with Polaré or polarized UV 400 lenses.

Vistana brings style and fashion to the fitover sunglass category with sleeker designs featuring bold, glossy finishes. The collection appeals to women who appreciate the convenience and function afforded by fitover sunwear and are looking for fashionable designs, company representatives note. The new models’ little extra ‘bling’ fits the bill.

Fitover sunwear provides an economic alternative for people who require corrective eyewear and do not elect to purchase prescription sunglasses or photochromic lenses. OveRx sunglasses and UV absorptive filters are designed to fit over prescription frames as optical grade eyewear.

“THE VISTANA COLLECTION HAS TRANSCENDED TRADITIONAL FITOVER SUNGLASS STYLING AND FUNCTION. WE INTRODUCED A SLEEKER, MORE MODERN LOOK WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE CONVENIENT AND EFFECTIVE FITOVER FUNCTION. THE ‘ICED UP’ MODELS TAKE THE COLLECTION’S LUXURIOUS APPEARANCE TO AN ENTIRELY NEW LEVEL.”
