Marcolin inspires with images from the catwalks

Marcolin inspires with images from the catwalks

In the major fashion capitals such as New York, London, Milan and Paris, the collections for autumn/winter 2023 were and will be shown these weeks. Divided over these four cities, all major fashion houses are present


MaxMara

The Italian eyewear manufacturer Marcolin, with a portfolio of leading brands, follows the shows closely and shows on Instagram a few images of each show and the (sun) glasses that the designer uses to express his or her vision of the upcoming sunglasses trend. Like every show, this produces beautiful pictures of top brands such as MaxMara, Tod's, GCDS and, for example, Bally and gives you an idea of where (sun) eyewear fashion is heading.

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Making visually beautiful things is a challenge for every designer in every industry and certainly also in the optical field, but of course functional innovations are maybe even more interesting and important.

Functionality is not always beautiful and that is why functional adjustments are often hidden and made invisible. At Porsche Design, they think differently. The statement with their latest glasses design is therefore:

"In most designs, the function remains hidden.
But we don’t want to hide something UNIQUE."

Because the new hinges in the most exclusive Porsche Design frame to date are not only a functional improvement, but also very beautiful and should therefore be seen. Porsche Design ambassador Patrick Dempsey wears this new luxury frame with style and proves once again that a beautiful and well-chosen frame can really be an eye-catcher and the finishing touch to any outfit.

New showroom alert: Monoqool

New showroom alert: Monoqool

Last week we introduced the showroom of Kilsgaard and this week we add another Danish brand to our ever-growing list of showrooms: Monoqool. Like its predecessor, this brand is also rooted in the Danish design tradition: simple ideas, perfect execution…

There are two words that best describe the design philosophy of Monoqool: innovation and sustainability. Innovation thanks to the techniques they use like 3D printing: frames are built up from layers as thin as 0.1 mm of solidified powder. Any excess powder is reused for up to 98%, making this way of manufacturing a sustainable choice. The printing is done in Denmark which drastically reduces CO2 emissions (no need to ship the collections from factories all over the world to Denmark).

All 3D printed frames are screwless and weigh a maximum of 6 grams which guarantee the highest user comfort. Add to that a Danish sense of minimalistic style and even a bit of humor, and there you have it: Monoqool.

You can check out the Monoqool collection in the new showroom.
