HANDCRAFTED QUALITY

Blackfin model BF739 Frazier is a new frame for women combining handcrafted techniques with modern design and excellent quality. A special technique has been used in the production of this frame, whose milled top rim creates a play of volumes and a contrasting perspective between the front and the rest of the frame. The choice of a contrasting color combination further highlights this three-dimensional effect, and BF739 is available in opaque finish Gray/Fuchsia, Dark/Light Blue, Deep Purple/Pink, Matte Dark Brown/Glossy Pink, and Red/Metallic Pink. This range of shades—with a choice of primary and secondary colors, deep rich tones, or metallic gloss—is ideal for women who seek quality and originality in fashion and who, above all, want to express their own personality.

FRAME INSIGHTS

CITY SIGHTS

Joseph Abboud Eyewear from Altair’s new optical collection is reminiscent of the Art Deco architecture and linear detailing of some of New York City’s most iconic structures.

Classic brother styles JA4047 and JA4048 are characterized by laser-etched metal herringbone temple accents offering contemporary edginess. Drawing inspiration from the Art Deco architectural details of the Empire State Building, semi-rimless JA4047 features masculine metal frame fronts paired with sleek acetate temples in Blackjack, Java, and Steel in two eye sizes.

The warm gradient horn colorations of JA4048’s frame front reflect the rich wood tones and earthy palette of Joseph Abboud’s flagship New York City location at 424 Madison Ave.

Two unique styles, JA4049 and JA4050, share one modern linear herringbone pattern—evocative of the iconic Chrysler Building—crafted on temples.

The full-rim JA4049 is a clean and classic metal style, and JA4050 features an industrial mixed-material design, reflecting New York's diverse architectural cityscape. With a modern rectangular semi-rimless shape, JA4051 features the iconic Joseph Abboud diamond logo raised on sleek metal temples and inspired by the design of the Empire State Building.
