The Sea and Beyond
1st July 2011 Fashion trends in clothing and eyewear this season look to the sea, and its inspirational surroundings for beautiful colours. We’ve spotted some lovely frames – both in sunglasses and ophthalmic collections – featuring the harmony and moods of the sea, sand and foliage. (Image above: FAB Photos). The colours are very fresh and cool, and they look great with a suntan! Lotho, the Paris based brand, celebrates deep ocean tones in this transparent acetate frame in bold blue and crystal.
I discovered this frame, Polly 5, when I visited the Lotho showroom in Paris, and loved not only the wonderful colour, but the flattering shape and fit. Lotho frames are handmade in Japan, with superb craftsmanship.www.lotho.fr JG
Meanwhile we have also identified this Dior frame above, named Tahuata which has graduated blue to purple lenses and a matching greeny blue sea-inspired frame. An unusual aviator but it’s bang on trend for S/S 2011 and perfect for Mediterranean island hopping. (Visit www.dior.com). CN
