On the Cover OGI OPTIONS For the fall season, Ogi is noticing a trend in the use of combination materials in both men’s and women’s eyewear. Prato “Whether that is the marriage of metals and acetates or the reinvention of vintage styles being pulled into the forefront of design,” says Alec Norem, content creator at Ogi Eyewear. The Red Rose Anzio revitalizes a classic P3 shape, with a blend of TR90 and stainless steel and is available in black, misty grey, sheer crystal and olive. The Prato is an updated spin on the semi-rimless design with stainless steel and TR90 in jaded black, tortoise, navy demi and crimson/black. The Velletri is a basic aviator shape that has been reworked and reshaped with added pops of personality. A double bar pulls out the retro ‘80s inspirations, while TR90 works to bring eye-catching contrast points throughout the rim. “Concerning shape, Ogi has graduated to the more abstract, flirting with many different geometric patterns,” says Norem. “Colours seem to evolve as well, with natural tones being a prominent factor as these hues compliment each face.” Anzio BOLLÉ BRANDS New from Serengeti, meanwhile, is the on-trend Raffaele design, which boasts a round vintage shape that offers timeless and refined elegance. True to Bollé heritage, the hybrid Cobalt style takes inspiration from vintage mountaineering sunglasses, while offering a modern look. For the ultimate protection in extreme mountain conditions, Cobalt has removable side shields. This style, coupled with the new Bollé Phantom lens that is made with NXT material, has photochromic technology and a high-contrast filter for improved colour and depth perception, makes this the perfect sunglass for this fall season. All Serengeti sunglasses have gradually adjusting photochromic technology, naturally colour- enhancing Spectral Control filters and a polarized lens option for cutting glare. Because of this advanced lens technology, Serengeti sunglasses can be worn in any weather condition and are the ideal choice for overcast fall conditions.
