JF REY – Collection Highlight

The language of materials and colours has always been the common thread
of the Jean-François Rey’ designs, with always this surprising ability to
permanently introduce innovative associations that make the brand
standing unique and distinctive. For this new collection, the designer
develops his sure and subtle taste for fashion by presenting a refined and
elaborate work on acetate prints. Designed in a spirit of “knitting” and
sophisticated weaving combining effects of wool, cashmere or silk fibers,
the materials get sophisticated with textured and nicely shaded colours
renderings which prove to be very successful through transparency.
A thin coloured line on the face highlights the luxuriance of the patterns
and brings a subtle graphic effect: an aesthetic detail typically JF Rey.
Achieved with a lamination technique, the models multiply the stylistic
effects that make the creations stand out and personalize. The colours are
harmonious, soft and reflected in chic transparencies and bright shines.
A repertoire of shimmering, lush and fruity organic colours inspire men’s
models, while female styles favour delicate colours and rich gradation in
soft, pastel or powdery tones. The finishing details such as the side piece
built in volume, the collages on the temples and a FLEX hinge give the
frames a sophisticated elegance and an optimal comfort. New creative
eyewear glasses tastefully achieved in modernity and inspiring a new
fashion attitude.
