Preview With Grace Alternative Eyewear has added a trio of new models to its Grace collection. The three models feature pretty, feminine shapes and styles, combined with delicate temple accents. The 7063 is semi-rimless and has subtle, swooping temples. The 7064 and 7065 are both made of acetate and feature fun, sparkling decals on the front of the frames. Beautiful colour combinations are also present, with a bold tort on crystal and a deep demi-purple in the mix. For more information, visit www.alternativeeyes.com or call 1-888-399-7742. '40s Flavour Vanni's Swing collection brings the exuberant popular rhythm of the '40s to some evergreen shapes, a revival of vintage eyewear favourites given new life thanks to modern technology and unmistakable Vanni style. In the metal version, Vanni reinterprets those memorable glasses with their coloured brow line, highlighting the top edge of the front in a darker shade of colour. To complete the range, there are some broad roundish shapes in bright colours, the rims picked out by the thinnest of Havana sheaths. 12 Optical Prism | July-August 2015 In acetate, the women's shapes are vaguely retro, the men’s broad and comfortable; a dappled base combines with solid transparent monotones, while the brow line is marked by tone-on-tone or contrasting material.
