RED HOT FRAMES Top: OS-9178 from WestGroupe. Bottom: TIM 0560 from Spectacle EYEworks. Red frames are not for wallflowers, but for those consumers who want to create sophisticated, exuberant expression of style. Right on trend, Baghaie unleashes his colourful creative side with his latest Spectacle EYEworks collection, featuring model TIM 0560, presenting a brash red frame with unique appeal. Alternative Eyewear’s Glacée collection brings out the red mixed with white in mixed metal frames, for model 6685-C2, while WestGroupe puts a bold face forward in shocks of poppy red with brown with frame OS-9178, part of the Izumi collection and a cherry red flavour in the Fysh collection’s F-3500. “Trends in fashion, particularly color trends, have always had an influence in my design of all of the WestGroupe collections,” said Beverley Suliteanu, VP of Product Development for WestGroupe. “Whether it is KliiK, Fysh, Bertelli or Superflex, colour is always at the forefront of the design ...The use of color allows consumers to have fun with their frames, to make a statement and help accessorize their wardrobe.” •
