Color in premium eyeglasses has never really been just an aesthetic choiceāin fact, it can become the most powerful means to express your personality and project your emotions onto the world around you. The Face Ć Face 2024 collection once again shows how color can get over the boundaries of what we traditionally consider to make up eyewear design, reaching a point where eyewear turns into your very extension. Each piece in this new line strives to tap into the entire spectrum of hues, let alone invent new ones. Whether you want to pass off as confident and calm or aim at a look that is vibrant and creative, the innovative use of palettes here gives you a ticket to full-scale self-expression.
Face Ć Face has made a kind of revolution in the way color was perceived in eyewear design before, integrating it as an element of sculpture. In the brand's latest collection (and product line as a whole), color isn't only there to adorn frames; it turns into a force to reckon with that works in tandem with light and form. Each piece of eyewear becomes nothing short of a canvas where colors mix, intersect, and give rise to new shades, striking and evocative, creating emotions and moods rather than just another pair of glasses. Pulling you right into the epicenter of this unique emotional resonance, Face Ć Face's new collection changes the way you see this world, and it really has little to do with the face that you have glasses on.
Designing another collection of eyewear, Face Ć Face doesn't think of shape and color in separate terms. Rather, color becomes the thing that shapes its new creations. This is exemplified by the REEDS 1 in Duck Blue, which offers a classic round silhouette with an imaginative twist. Though it appears semi-rimless at first glance, it is actually full-rim, and this unique effect is achieved exclusively through the blend of bright and soft hues. The transitions of color in the frames remind you of the gentle shift from night to day, just like the sky over a quiet river at sunrise, tranquil and dynamic all at once.
The BOCCA NAOKO 2 is what you can call another masterclass in color interplay, involving the shades of tortoise, acajou, and blue. This cat-eye design combines bold-colored temples with a milky-hued frame, which has allowed the creative team to reach a hazy, marble-like appearance. Nothing like the FRAMED 1, with its daring, angular design in translucent blue acetate, dyed in the deep hues of dusk that are contrasted with gradients of orange on the temples. Because the frame is transparent, it captures and refracts light, which makes for an interesting trick given the dark palette used for the frame. Such an artistic solution in which a strong geometric shape is given depth and volume with the help of a delicate color scheme gives the glasses both structure and subtlety.
The same approach can be seen in the brand's newest sunglasses. If you take a look at the KAKEMO 1, you'll know what mystery feels like. The frame, finished in a pearlescent pink with a hint of an enigmatic twilight palette, goes together with lenses that have the gentlest shade of violet. Makes you think of a softly illuminated city sky at night, even though you'll probably be wearing these in bright daylight. With its totally captivating look, this pair of glasses is both luxurious and serene, perfect for fashion-conscious romantics.
Face Ć Face's has its headquarters and team of designers located in Paris. However, the production facilities are distributed across three countries, which are France, Italy, and Japan.
The brand's latest line of eyewear consists of both optical eyeglasses and sunglasses, a wide range of designs being available for both. Each model also comes in multiple palettes, because color is crucial for Face Ć Faceās creative concept.
