THE STORY

Traveling across Latin America by bike and supporting business creation through solidarity financing? This is the challenge accepted by Anne and Marie-Eve, both of whom have devoted their gap year to this project. Solidarity financing consists of providing access to credit to those excluded from the usual and formal financial services. It’s credit based on trust because Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) do not require a bank guarantee. This credit is granted to people who want to start their own business; MFIs then offer to assist and train them.
For six months, Anne and Marie-Eve traveled more than 6,000 km by bicycle between Colombia and Argentina. They went to meet microfinance institutions and micro-entrepreneurs to promote this very effective financing solution. Thanks to this means of transport, they were able to meet typical local communities, share, discover the world and learn about themselves and others.
This project took place in four stages: identifying local institutions specialized in microfinance; supporting entrepreneurship by providing financial support; meeting with institutions and entrepreneurs and, finally, sharing their stories.
A real challenge for these two go-getters! Discover their No Ordinary story.

dernieres nouveautés techniques chez BLACKFIN 2019

BLACKFIN – LES DÉTAILS DE LA PERFECTION

Juin 2019 – Ce sont les détails qui font la différence : Blackfin ajoute quelques éléments distinctifs à sa gamme de montures de vue et de lunettes de soleil. En effet, à partir de la collection de juillet, tous les modèles seront équipés des toutes nouvelles plaquettes tilting nose pads en PVC médical, un matériau totalement hypoallergénique qui recouvre la plaquette – marquée du poisson, symbole de la marque – en résine transparente à laquelle vient s’ajouter, pour certaines versions, un dépôt d’or ou de palladium. Outre leur design plus moderne et élégant, les nouvelles plaquettes articulées assurent davantage de confort en s’adaptant parfaitement à la forme du nez.

Une autre nouveauté réside dans le design des manchons Swordfish, le brevet de la société qui permet de raccourcir les branches de 5 ou 10 mm de façon précise, facile et immédiate.

L’épaisseur des nouveaux manchons en caoutchouc – matériau conçu pour améliorer l’adaptation à la température corporelle (chaud en hiver et froid en été) en contact avec la peau – sera plus forte pour assurer un ajustement plus confortable et ergonomique tout en évitant que les lunettes glissent vers l’avant.

Un kit a été conçu pour que tous les opticiens puissent assurer un excellent service à leur clientèle : il contient une pince spéciale pour retirer et remplacer les plaquettes ainsi qu’une plaque servant à plier l’extrémité de la branche de façon que la tige puisse reprendre sa courbure initiale après avoir été raccourcie.

Blackfin utilise des technologies de pointe même dans les détails les moins visibles. Les informations relatives au code du modèle, les spécifications techniques et une éventuelle personnalisation à l’intérieur de la branche sont en effet réalisées par gravure au laser dans des couleurs irisées, à l’aide de sources laser fibrées d’une puissance de 20W. Cela garantit une qualité incomparable par rapport aux sérigraphies classiques et une touche de style qui rend chaque monture unique. 

Car, bien qu’éphémère, la recherche de la perfection passe par les moindres détails.

Blackfin / Looking Beyond. Always.

SCENES DE VIE avec EMILE & ROSE

A 30 ANS TOUT COMMENCE !

#fromokowithlove

#ScènesdeVie chez #oko après l’histoire des 2 meilleures amies #STELLA &#NIKITA #BFF dans l’épisode 1, nous retrouvons dans l’épisode 2 #EMILE & #ROSE #OKObyOKO.

Le pitch? A 30 ans, tout commence ! Amoureux et bien dans leur vie, ce couple de trentenaires célèbre leur emménagement ensemble, c’est leur premier appart ! On leur souhaite tout le meilleur pour une vie toute en couleurs !

Emile… Pour lui, créa, colorée, au design pur, élégant, aux détails soignés et signés de la marque à la tortue. Cette lunette entièrement fabriquée en acétate ravira bien sûr les adeptes des lunettes qui ont du caractère, du style et qui veulent s’affirmer ! Du créateur, oui, mais accessible à tous !

Rose… Pour elle, inspiration florale et superposition de pétales pour cette lunette fraîche, printanière aux coloris chics et acidulés qui associe différents matériaux – acétate et acier – afin de créer un résultat inattendu. 

Cette tendance au métissage des matières, très en vogue dans le secteur de la lunetterie est un processus créatif qui créé un nouveau langage esthétique offrant des contrastes agréables à la fois visuels et tactiles. 

Les jeux d’ombre et de lumière – formés par le décalage et la superposition des plaques d’acétate polies à la main – donnent du relief et du volume créant ainsi une forme plus généreuse, plus ouverte, plus douce et plus féminine. 

Avec Rose, OKO vous aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément,  à la folie !

Et là, on réalise l’évidence : tout est consciemment et élégamment décalé, comme si la marque donnait vie à ses idées et à ses créations en ne pensant qu’à une chose : permettre au porteur de se révéler et d’oser afficher sa personnalité. 

OKO by OKO Paris – créateur de lunettes pour tous depuis 1999.

Singin’ The BLUs – New Scojo New York BluLites

 

Scojo New York is delighted to introduce the latest in BluLite styles – now available in metal frames. These ready-to-wear readers come in four ultra unique shapes, with personalities all their own. Additionally, each of these styles is offered in plano non-RX for those seeking a little protection from digital screens without the added reading power.

Biko

The Biko embodies the essence of Scojo New York, with a revitalized sense of vigor in this retro, fully round style. Built from stunning stainless steel, the boldness is physically felt within this substantial frame.

Matrix

High fashion dips into decades passed for the ultra slim Matrix. Pieced together from chromatic gold stainless steel and infused with BluLite technology, this pop of visionary color may be small, but has no trouble getting noticed.

Palatino

The Palatino takes a bold stab at an original concept. A more compressed P3 shape is presented, with a flatter profile up top and a rounded edge to bring modernization through this BluLite frame. Dynamic yet approachable with golden stainless steel, the Palatino is bound to shine.

Radcliffe

Clean cut for a look of enduring sophistication, the Radcliffe embodies a true P3 shape. Cooling silver metal forms this BluLite filtering style, created for function, but fully embracing a life of high fashion in the modern era.

GRACE HYEJIN KIM

The whole collection started with one phrase ‘’it’s cold, I’m just chilling’’.

I was inspired by winter and combined this with the idea of sitting at home on the sofa. The overall atmosphere transmits a certain coldness and conveys my feelings of being lonely and longing for family as an international student in a foreign country.

NICK HAEMELS

25, Belgium

I started putting together the collection after watching ‘’Ex Machina’’, this really polished movie about artificial intelligence. The whole aesthetic is based on laboratories and has this very clean feel to it. The idea of playing with a mask for this project appealed to me a lot. I started to do research into the negative space of these objects in order to create a new kind of shape.

LINUS LEONARDSSON

22, Sweden

“See you in the fog” references adolescence and depicts a teenager’s concerns of not fitting into a grown-up world, as well as his or her attempts to do so. Set in a forest rave in Stockholm, it connects contemporary rave culture with new ways of preserving nature and craftsmanship. Technical materials are linked with contrasting natural inputs and traditional techniques. The unisex sunglasses reference trees which are tinted blue, yellow and green by artificial strobe lights.

QUINTEN MESTDAGH

23, Belgium

My main goal was to create the effect of make-up in eyewear. As make-up is always applied onto the skin, I was interested in transforming it into an object or accessory that you can easily put on and off. The glasses consist of one colored lens that covers the face which is then enhanced with gradient prints and embellished with rhinestones.

New Ogi Kids styles

 

As we kick off the summer fun, Ogi Eyewear is happy to introduce the freshest line of Ogi Kids styles. Perfect for the season, these frames bring funky colors and out-of-the-box shapes for an endless summer of frolic.

OK107

Built to be as expressive as its wearer, the OK107 couples chromatic hues for a fully contrasting experience. Thinly formed stainless steel weaves a tale of persistence, yet playfulness. The OK107 comes complete with adjustable nose pads for ultimate comfort.

OK347

The OK347 embodies the ideals of change, with crystalline hues that bring an almost transparent feel to an already petite design. Pastel painting throughout the acetate reflects an innocent charm the OK347 fully embodies.

OK348

The OK348 comes to the Kids collection with a small, but mighty sense of vigor. The slimly fitted frame brings a simple color skew along the face, but a more patterned element can be see atop the brow. Built tough from our premium acetate material, the OK348 exceeds expectations.

OK349

Hints of fruit and floral run across the OK349’s select styles, with deeply fresh color schemes. Dual pressed acetate creates high contrast along the temple and frame face, pulling this look neatly together. Clean cut and ready for its debut, the OK349 arrives.

première collection de lunettes de soleil LIGHTBIRD par CORRADO ROSSON

LIGHTBIRD launches Light_matter Sun

The first sun collection of the new Bellunese

brand by Corrado Rosson

 

The sun shines on the world of LIGHTBIRD, a world of design, innovation, technology and creativity, 100% Made in Italy. The new brand designed by Corrado Rosson launches the line Light_matter Sun, consisting of a selection of three models taken from the optical eyewear collection Light_Matter combined with solar anti-reflective lenses.

The selected models Desert LB013, Vulcano LB006 and Prince LB007 are added to the iconic Heart and Planet already present in the collection. Two colours are available for each new model. The main combinations are Shiny black and satin metal Anthracite Light off, Night Blue matched with the satin metal Navy Blue, and Chocolate together with satin metal Light Brown.  All these combinations follow the latest trends in men’s and women’s fashion, perfect for exhibiting an always contemporary look.

 

Light_matter Sun uses high quality, wide-range anti-reflective sun filters Base 2, offered in three colours for a perfect stylistic match: Mirrored Smoke, Shaded Brown and Multilayer Blue.

THE COLLECTION _ Light_Matter_Sun

VULCANO_Sun LB006

The model VULCANO features a silhouette with essential lines, which makes it suitable to everyone. Vulcano is available in two colour combinations: Total Bright Black with the anthracite satin metal « Light off » and Total Night Blue with the Navy Blue satin metal front. The lenses are matched to their colors: Smoked Mirrored the first and Multilayer Blue the second.

PRINCE_Sun LB007

PRINCE, with its rounded lenses, is characterized by a more youthful look and is ideal for those who want to live every day with style and lightness. This model is available in Total Night Blue combined with the front in Navy Blue satin metal and Chocolate with Light Brown satin metal. The anti-reflection lenses are matched to their relative colours: Brown shade and Blue Multilayer.

DESERT_Sun LB013

The dynamic colours of the frames and the monochromatic hi-tech metal front make DESERT a decisive and contemporary man’s sunglasses model, ideal for both an informal casual look and a youthful formal one.  This model displays a unique feature with color code C046S, which presents a sophisticated and elegant combination: satin metal Warm Light with mirrored smoke lenses create a refined contrast with the black acetate and cubic red Havana of the body and temples.

 

These sun models increase the range of the Light_matter collection, a line created with an innovative and patented composite material. Light_matter is made by combining a sheet of high-tech aluminium with a sheet of Italian acetate. This material gives life to a frame in which the two elements almost merge. The bond is guaranteed by high-performance adhesives used in the aerospace industry.

 

One of the distinctive elements of LIGHTBIRD is the technology. On the temple tip of the glasses there is a QR code that, through the camera of a common smartphone, can connect you to Light_NEST, the LIGHTBIRD’s « nest ». The optician and the end customer will thus give life in a simple and intuitive way to a community where they can both get direct support and help from the company. Lightbird assists the optician with loyalty actions towards the end customer and facilitates the request for assistance and spare parts as well as guaranteeing commercial and strategic advantages
