On the Cover The Geneviéve Paris Design Hayden is a stainless steel style with a metal trim and spring hinges, while the Modz Titanium style Ranger is a titanium frame that comes in matte black, matte brown and matte gunmetal. 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 Optical Prism | October 2019 21
