Success for Italian eyewear on the catwalk in Paris
The best of Made in Italy eyewear is back on the catwalk in the French capital, in the splendid surroundings of the Automobile Club de France in Place de la Concorde. An evocative location, rich in history, which, like last year, was the setting for the Italian eyewear fashion show that has now reached its fifth edition. Hundreds of glasses, the result of Italian creativity, the true protagonists of the event: sunglasses and ophthalmic frames, for men and women, for children and teenagers, a range of top quality products supplied by the participating companies Anfao.
'We are truly proud - declared the President of ICE Ambassador Umberto Vattani and Cirillo Marcolin, the President of Anfao - to renew this important date for the fifth year running. For us, the Square in Paris represents a must, a unique occasion to present an absolute preview of the eyewear fashion trends for the coming spring-summer. So, Made in Italy quality re-proposes this event, confident of repeating the success of past years.'
The show, indeed, represented a truly important showcase for Italian products to promote the spring summer 2007 fashion trends.
Spring summer fashion 2007 has proved to be rich in contrasts: references to the past, but with an eye on the future, a bridge between old and new offering ophthalmic and sunglasses frames to be worn both day and night. The purity of the forms is contaminated with touches of brilliant color: red and black for a slightly theatrical, Latin look, as well as insatiable shades. In short, Made in Italy eyewear, all waiting to be discovered!
Square and compass
Distinct forms for glasses with character.
It is a bit like going back to school. The glasses for spring summer 2007 mark the beginning of a great revival of the geometric style, with square lines and rounded shapes reminiscent of geometry homework. But there are no areas to calculate or perimeters to draw, the results are calculated on the basis of the surprise effect created by the glasses with character. The resolute lines create a look all by themselves: square, rectangular or trapezium for the most determined, aimed at a look, which is slightly out of all schemes, round and oval for eccentric ladies, but with style.
Insatiable shades
Chocolate, vanilla or honey frames, orange, cranberry or strawberry lenses. Attractive shades for irresistible 'sweet eyes'.
Warm, enveloping atmospheres like in the film Chocolat, sweet and inebriating tastes. The frames for spring/summer 2007 take a gamble on bon bon style: insatiable shades for a seductive look. To savor immediately. Chocolate, honey and vanilla - DOC colors for those who love the fairytale-princess look. Strawberry red, orange and- most importantly- cranberry purple for a fruity palette that appeals to the younger ones who prefer a trendy, ultra-feminine look, but with spirit.
Paso Doble
Black and red, a double step with a Latin spirit, for a fiery look.
Spanish rhythms, an absorbing, passionate dance. Like the ophthalmic and sunglasses frames proposed in two contrasting colors. Black, synonymous of elegance 'par excellence', a minimalist color that takes on energy thanks to the creativity of the forms and, most of all, the materials, from acetate brightened with small, precious details to colored metal. And carmine, red, the color of love and passion that kindles the fervor of the ballet dancer-bullfighter as in the Paso Doble. A double, two-tone style, for dynamic, lively women and free spirits, with a musical soul.
Abracadabra
Transformist style and city rhythm. For men and for women, as if by magic.
First it was the tie, taken from men's wardrobes to create the manager look. Then, one piece at a time and this sharing ended up taking everything from men's wardrobes. Today, glasses too no longer differentiate between the sexes, an interchangeable fashion item, for men and for women. For a strong look, but with spirit. Minimal shapes for eyeglasses, drop-shaped, aviator style for sunglasses, for a style with no seasons. For free time or a work meeting, men and women's choices fall on glasses with a city feel, always and nonetheless sophisticated. A triumph of neutral colors and golden touches, evergreen forms or ultra-modern mono-lens masks. To make your way through the city jungle without losing sight of good taste!
Arcobaleno
Long live color: children's glasses characterized by 'rock' colors to keep boredom at bay.
Fashion for the very youngest must make them dream! It must be inspired by fairytale characters and superheroes. So here we have magical colors for little princesses: from confetti pink for the most romantic to fuchsia-cherry for the most playful. There is plenty of warm shades, yellow and orange, the favorite choice of free spirits like Pippi Longstocking. Whereas for boys there are tough colors, to feel grown up already: metallized shades, deep blue and fiery red, for sunglasses and eyeglasses, in ultra-light metal for Harry Potter fans, or in acetate with futuristic forms for the sportier ones. The important thing is to get noticed and feel special just like superheroes!
