Popular colours include rose gold, pinks and coloured
crystals. Alternative/Plan “B” Eyewear is going full
steam ahead on these trends and colour palette.
From the Glacée collection, the GL6928 is an ultra-light
Kate Spade New
York Audri/G
frame with a playful top and a bright pop of colour.
For even more fun, the Grace collection offers the G8073
with eye-catching arms and a bold pattern in demi grey
and gold.
At Centennial Optical, director of product development
Linda Mulford-Hum says the minimalist trend in home,
G8073
apparel and accessories fashion has taken over everything.
“People are making a statement of individuality by
choosing less and by choosing more selectively,” she says.
“Eyewear is certainly no different. Consumers want crafts-
manship and the hand appeal of a quality-made product.”

Centennial is using its popular TLG (Thin. Light.
Glasses) brand to give the market ultra-thin titanium
and stainless steel frames. But also, high-density and
compression plastics in thickness that mimics metal.
Centennial is also inspiring with its Aspire line. The
frames have five editions to help the wearer make a
particular statement: Caring, Committed, Diligent,
Sassy and Successful.
Then, for something extra fun, there’s the c by Christian
Lacroix, featuring a lively blue leaf pattern.
At Optika Eyewear, Richard Allan says another top
trend in 2020 will be the return of the double-bridge
frames for women.
Model ST9039 is one of the frames in Optika’s Soho Tech
Eyewear line that features stainless steel construction
with a new take on double bar designs.
