Chromatic Focus #1: Tortoiseshell
The tortoiseshell color in eyewear has a long history that combines classic style with modern appeal, making it perpetually relevant. Characterized by warm tones of brown, amber, and black that meld in a distinctive speckled pattern, this color offers a unique aesthetic versatility.Even in contemporary designs, the tortoiseshell pattern adds warmth and character, contrasting with the minimalist look of monochrome models; its adaptability across different styles makes it perfect for both vintage-inspired and cutting-edge eyewear designs.
Timeless Duo: Black & White
The black and white combination in eyewear, especially starting from the 80s and 90s, has left a lasting mark on the fashion world. This chromatic pairing, capable of conveying individuality and style, continues to influence modern trends, remaining a timeless classic. In music, cinema, and the world of art in general, there are iconic models of glasses that showcase this color combination or interpret it with character in monochromatic shades, becoming unforgettable symbols of style and personality.
Theo
THEO LOVES YOU.
Actually it was the love for their clients that made Wim Somers and Patrick Hoet, opticians with their own store, decide to design and present a collection under the name of Theo.In 1989 the first Theo glasses became a fact.The Theo headquarters are located in Antwerp, and the initial small family business has developed into a major player in international optics market, and they never stop surprising with the most visionary collections.
l.a. Eyeworks
l.a.Eyeworks began on September 9, 1979 when Barbara McReynolds and Gai Gherardi opened a single storefront on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California, to challenge the prevailing norms of eyewear with proposals for a new, provocative revelation of the face.
Chromatic Focus #2: Gold
“All that glitters is gold”: a phrase that perfectly captures the allure of gold in eyewear. The color gold has an iconic and timeless presence in the world of eyewear, conveying a sense of luxury, elegance, and sophistication.In glasses, the color gold is not just a style choice: it’s a statement. Its natural brightness reflects light, adding a touch of warmth and refinement to any look.In contemporary eyewear, gold has been reinterpreted with various finishes: from matte tones for a more understated look to shiny or mirrored finishes for a bolder effect.This ability to adapt and reinvent itself makes gold a color that is always in vogue, capable of transcending fashions and trends, just like a precious metal that never loses its value.
