This season the design team at Cutler and Gross take you on an exotic golden journey from India, via Turkey and Marrakech. Taking the star of Morocco as the ultimate symbol of richness, peace and beauty as inspiration, we have sculpted the delicate layers of Pinstripe Lace to create an iconic sunglass. Desert sunsets are reflected in the Mellow Yellow acetate and in the gentle graduated hues of paprika red, cinnamon brown and deep blue. If you want to travel the trail in style, expect to wear your sunglasses in oversized round and octagonal shapes! Sun-kissed whites and Gold rolled onto tortoiseshell warm the senses while the gentle colours fig, honey and cumin whet the appetite.

“The world is changing. And with it so are the people. Life is changing. As is peoples’ attitude to lots of things. Humphrey’s has changed. For precisely that reason.” that was how Audrey Pavia, VP of Marketing explained the re-launch of Humphrey‘s eyewear. A complete revamp, from brand language through to visual imagery.

The new slogan “positively different“ and the ‘V’ sign, the symbol of victory, represent the optimism of the “Humphrey‘s generation”. Young people aren’t fazed by anything. They do their own thing, live their lives and make decisions with complete self-confidence. They don’t need any role models; they themselves are the stars of their own lives.

And that‘s not mere conjecture. These findings are based on an extensive market research study, used to identify Humphrey‘s target group. What are their needs, and what do they willingly go without? The answers can be found in the new campaign and the new models.

Plain and simple, from the cat eye to virtually square or oval and retro. A self-confident geek-chic design utilizing the two-tone trend. Temple designs from python and zebra stripes to striking stripes and checks. And then attractive bright colors as far as the eye can see.

Humphrey’s POP materials include posters and image cubes for both optical and sunwear. The center piece of the collection is a postcard curtain – a curtain created of slots that hold postcards of “Positively Different” images. Each frame is accompanied by an attractive hard case.

Sacred in Egypt and respected by Buddhists for thousands of years, the delicate Lotus flower is the inspiration behind Koali’s latest concept.

The soft shape and fluid lines of the lotus flower add visual interest to elegant temples. The base of the flower is produced in openwork to emphasize lightness.

The Lotus concept is offered in a palette of four colors per model. Discreet colors blend harmoniously with lacquer applied to the heart of the flower, for a hint of brightness. Mauves, reds, browns, and blues work to emphasize the femininity of the Lotus collection.

Stainless steel fronts are flexible, tough, and corrosion resistant. Friction-controlled screws prevent opening and swinging of temple while the inside of the endtips are widened for improved comfort.

All models have stainless steel fronts. Lotus is available in three shapes, including a semi rimless model. All versions are progressive friendly.
