DESIGN Oliver Goldsmith: ‘For the 2016 collection I wanted to design bold yet incredibly wearable glasses. I personally selected the coloured acetates to be fused together at our factory in Italy where the frames are hand-made. It’s in memory of grandfather and in recognition of my daughter Alex who’s a photographer.’

ACETATE Constructed from seven separate pieces of acetate that are ultrasonically fused together to give the rich complementary tones and different finishes. Temples are constructed from two contrasting pieces of fused acetate ahead of insertion of the wire core.

SILHOUETTE A soft interpretation of styles from the Oliver Goldsmith back catalogue. The frame has been updated for the modern patient with horizontal colour combinations rather than the often-used vertical graduated hues.
