Accentuate the acetate

Experimental colour combinations and metallic laser-etching add style to the latest Jai Kudo spring/summer optical collection 2010.

Stepped layers of transparent and block colours in the acetate collection for women create eye-catching colour combinations of red, purple and ginger while the men's frames are typically more subtle in shades of tortoiseshell, horn, lead and black.

The signature models 1804 Flex (pictured) and 1805 Flex feature a modern metallic trim incorporating three parallel panels which accentuate the lines of the frame shape. The frames come in six colour combinations including grape and silver caramel and gold and wood and gunmetal. Meanwhile, the latest JK London spring/summer 2010 Collection of sportswear influenced models, Ealing and Shepherds Bush, feature tri-colour combinations and top-line detailing.
