NEW FROM ALTERNATIVE
Alternative and Plan “B” Eyewear is
seeing a focus on interesting shapes, eye-
wires and colours this season.
“Shiny is definitely making a
comeback, along with a focus on
metal, with oversized being the go-to,”
says Cassandra Slepian, marketing
manager.
Plan “B” Eyewear has added seven
new metal models to its sophisticated
and fashion-focused Glacée collection,
including three rounds, one aviator and
three takes on the flattering cat-eye
shape.
“Our GL6917 and GL6920 use a really
cool eye wire that looks like twisted
rope, giving it shine and dimension,
while still offering a clean, minimalist
look. GL6918 features an aviator with a
very strong double-brow bar, so taking a
retro shape and making it modern, cool
and unique in a new way.”
Meanwhile, GL6921 offers a bold round
look, featuring a vintage-inspired drop
temple and a balance between matte
colour and shiny metal.
“Rose gold, black, shiny gold and shiny
colours such as purple and red are
definitely in right now,” says Slepian.
“Retro features are definitely making
a come back, with oversized rounds
and butterfly shapes, a very ‘70s-’80s
influence.”
