SHADES OF PURPLE AND PINK
From the softness of mauve to the
shock of a perfectly purple frame, to
the florescent hues that border on
pink, the more colourful the better
for one of the most popular range of
colours in the spectrum.
Alternative Eyewear’s Grace
collection meets that colourful appeal
with frames such as style 7048-CI,
a deep mauve mixed metal frame.
WestGroupe adopts the shades
of purple in a variety of styles women
consumers enjoy, including the
Superflex collection model SF-406
and the KLiiK Denmark models
K-503 with a brown lilac combination
and K-504, with a purple sky hue.
Match Eyewear’s Adrienne
Vittadini collection embraces the
mauve trend with Style 1124.
“The deep mauve hue is
highlighted in several ways—the bright
sheen of the stainless rims, and in the
multi-faceted mosaic inlays on polished
acetate temples,” said Goodman.
The company’s AV Studio
collection includes Style 60S in
Gradient Purple, which Goodman
explains includes a design that
embraces amethysts, gradients and
contrasting rims and temples.
“Amethyst is all the rage this
season, as is the contrast of a delicate
gradient front with solid textured
temples,” Goodman said.
Spectacle EYEworks Inc.’s
designer and owner Mehran Baghaie
embraced this purple and pink colour
trend with bold expressions of classic
styles with his own unique style,
through two of his key collections.
“I think the colours [this season]
are going in two directions; either
they are very clean conservative such
as browns, black, tortoise, or
completely contrary beautiful and
vibrant colors!” Baghaie said. “With
our Spectacle EYEworks and Pussy
Galore collection I’ve incorporated
very vibrant colors.”
