Dalby Ashdown Swinley Paul Storace of Alternative/Plan ‘B’ Eyewear says many of the frames in the company’s Staag Spectacles collection feature vintage styling. Fife “We strongly suggest for 2018 combination titanium with acetate embellishments featuring our elevated vintage appeal. Like gold filigree discreetly paired with vintage acetate colours that move from the boardroom to the bar,” he says. “These are distinctive details that transcend trend. It is cool, light and very smart; vintage elevated.” The Ashdown is a high-density acetate frame that features a round front and classic tortoise colouring for a vintage look, while the Dalby plays on vintage design with a clubmaster look and vintage details on the temples. The Fife, meanwhile, is a minimalist and mascu- line frame that boasts delicate vintage details on the temples and bridge, while the Swinley is a vintage and industrial-looking frame that includes interesting details like a metal eye wire and cool patterns on the bridge and temple.
