Ogi’s 3137
Mehran Baghaie, designer and director at
Spectacle Eyeworks, says Baby Boomers and
seniors once looked at glasses as a “necessity,”
but that is no longer the case.
“Now they are looking at glasses and optical
frames as a fashion accessory, especially the
female segment of Baby Boomers and seniors.
I am being told over and over by opticians and
clients that my most alternative and dramatic
designs were sold to ladies in their 60s, 70s
or 80s. I find this demographic change very
enlightening and triumphant,” he says.
Ogi Eyewear has frame collections that focus
on craftsmanship, design, colour and quality,
all things that are important for seniors.
One example for clients who want to make a
big splash is Ogi’s 3137 frames, which offer a
delightful mix of beachy-keen hues. Built from
blends of translucent acetate, this style ebbs
and flows with vibrant colourways, versatile
enough for anyone looking for their own little
escape.
Ogi’s 7171 is a completely unique product with
the ever-flattering almond silhouette that
comes freshly infused with crystalline acetate
that blends with deeper pops of colour.
Spello
When it comes to sunglasses, look no further
than Serengeti’s 2019 collection.
For men, they take the classic metal navigator
shape to the next level. The Spello and Tellaro
shapes make this old look new again and
feature bright colours inside the temples that
subtly spice up this timeless design for men.
Leonora
For women, Sergenti’s Raffaele and Leonora
models embrace vintage shapes and warm
colours, including honey, which is the hottest
hue of the season. OP
