Alyson Magee is back

Seven years on from her debut line - licensed by Alain Mikli - and after more than three decades designing for the world’s best known luxury brands, Alyson Magee returns to the helm of her eponymous line with a new collection of sun and optical frames for men and women: Foundations. Magee creates a perfect tension between aesthetics and engineering in her frames; an almost jarring light treatment juxtaposes the manicured styling and structural direction throughout. This is also translated across the collection with the punctuation of classic square and circular shapes with vibrant colour, refined by her focus on micro details and tempered with complex constructions that push conventional boundaries. Magee says, “It was about taking it back to the start, challenging the status quo and sharing designs that are unique. I really think these frames can form the basis of any discerning eyewear enthusiast’s collection.”
