Oscar Magnuson Inspired by Iris Apfel

Oscar Magnuson’s 237 Collection just released a new model inspired by the fabulous Iris Apfel. Iris is super inspiring and so colorful!

The shape is just my taste, I want one as sunglasses and one as ophthalmic! Since the acetate is super thin I’m going to go with a crazy color, there are six different to choose from; black, transparent aqua, klein blue, blended caramel, tortoise and crystal.

MYKITA for BONOCLE

Feather light and flirting with the 70’s hippie style, the MYKITA for BONOCLE project is beautiful and chic. The round design is made by Mykita & Bernhard Wilhelm, inspired by Janis Joplin.

This time in a limited color edition of 10 pieces chosen by Bonocle, exclusively available at the Bonocle Online Store. The construction is hand made in an old school way but with a modern technique and new materials. This allows the frame to be light yet super sturdy.

Follow the process behind the making of “Janis”:

First a thin layer of stainless spring steel metal sheet is cut out and then bent using very simple hand maneuvered machines. Later on the five pieces are put together by hand using no screws.

The inside of the temple tips and the nose pads have transparent soft lacquer which is applied by hand on the inside to make them grip your head.

The nosepads are bent by hand for the perfect angle to create the feeling that the frames are molded to the face.

After getting the perfect base curve it’s time for a nose job! This gives the nose bridge a retro look.

RVS EYEWEAR – The Very First Female Frame

Meet the new release from RVS: Celine.

Inspired by the shape of a butterfly, with colors reflecting the natural colors of a butterfly’s wings in the sun. No wonder the color combination looks so much alive! This is RVS first frame completely dedicated to female and I must say I’m very exited about what’s next to come. Great job!

The frames will be presented at Silmo this year and available in store SS13.
