Cuteness Overload

Nu de kinderen weer naar school gaan is er traditiegetrouw en terecht ook extra aandacht voor de prestaties van hun ogen. Zien ze goed, kunnen ze de lessen volgen?

Niet zelden zijn mindere prestaties op school het gevolg van onvoldoende goed zien. Dat wordt niet altijd tijdig onderkend dus een regelmatig bezoek aan de opticien om de ogen te laten controleren is zeker geen overbodige luxe en kan veel klachten en problemen voorkomen.

Het is bovendien allang geen straf meer om een bril te dragen. Net als bij volwassenen zijn brillen voor kinderen leuke modeaccessoires geworden en met het juiste model zie je niet alleen goed maar ben je ook de coolste boy of girl van de klas.

Kinderachtige brillen met Disney-figuurtjes en zoete kleurtjes zijn uit en stoere modellen die precies lijken op de brillen van volwassenen zijn in. 

 

Het bekende Franse brillenmerk Anne & Valentin heeft bijvoorbeeld een geweldige collectie kinderbrillen met dezelfde designkenmerken die dit merk bij volwassenen zo populair maakt. Mooie kleuren en kleurcombinaties en fraaie ontwerpen waarmee je voor de dag kunt komen. En ze zitten ook nog eens perfect en heel comfortabel! 



Celebrating (eye)wear as the most important fashion accessory of our time

Celebrating (eye)wear as the most important fashion accessory of our time

Eyewear has developed from necessary vision tool to important fashion accessory. Last Monday we celebrated this amazing evolution at the NanaWoody&John Night at the Club in the trendy Harbour Club at Amsterdam.

About 180 of the best opticians and representatives of the best eyewear brands enjoyed an amazing dinner which started with a small light show.

Zeiss Vision was honoured with an Award for their amazing Convention earlier this year at Berlin and Calvin Klein got another one for a major online eyewear campaign reaching more than 4 million people.

Dutch HIPHOP legend and eyewear collectioneur Brainpower was honoured as the Spectacle Wearer of the Year and we announced a collaboration with Orange Babies which slogan is ‘creative in beating HIV’. We will support them in buying a new mobile clinic for their work in South Africa.


What a night it was! The optical branch is a very interesting one with the best opticians combining eyecare and eyefashion and making people happy with both excellent vision as well as amazing looks!

We are happy to be part of it and help shaping the developments for even better experiences in the future!

Meta launches the second generation of Ray-Ban Stories

Meta launches the second generation of Ray-Ban Stories

At Meta Connect, Mark Zuckerberg recently launched all the news that the tech giant has in store for us. In addition to various other things, the Quest 3 and the new generation of Ray-Ban Stories received a lot of attention.

With the first you turn your environment into a virtual world. The new Ray-Ban Stories have been improved in every way. A much better camera, better audio, a battery that lasts longer, a choice of more styles in more colors and, last but not least, a direct connection to Meta AI. The question is of course whether we should be happy with all those technical gadgets full of algorithms and information that you could otherwise find out yourself. For tech enthusiasts this is of course a blessing, for others like me it is a complete disaster. Soon your smartwatch or smartglasses will ensure that you never have to discover anything yourself again because the AI technology already fills in everything for you. Imagine you are going to Paris or New York for the first time.

Instead of going on an adventure and discovering the city yourself, your smart glasses will tell you, solicited or unsolicited, just about everything you can think of. Not only information about buildings or museums, for example, but also reviews of restaurants or shops. We are increasingly becoming herd animals who are more and more guided by what Mark Zuckerberg and associates think we should do. Mankind simply becomes the dumbest species ever, completely (dis)informed by what others have already thought up and invented. I'm not looking forward to it, but others might think it's fantastic. We will see. The first version of the Ray-Ban Stories was never for sale here and this second generation is currently only available in the United States.

Trend break at Gucci

Trend break at Gucci

Gucci has a new designer and took a completely new course with the show in Milan. Alessandro Michele's opulent spectacles had made way for a sober classic show in which the models mainly showed chic designs with many references to the brand's rich archives

The designs were beautiful and, according to the experts, very skillfully made, the decorations consisted mainly of glitter and the colors were always stylishly combined into a harmonious whole that never shocked or caused big oohs and aahs. Of course, we also pay particular attention to the glasses. Frames were not shown anyway and far fewer models than before wore sunglasses and always the same, chic model. In short, Gucci opts for a completely new style and a striking trend break that we will undoubtedly also see in the (sun)glasses collections.
