Gamberini attributes the ongoing
success of Marcolin’s metal framed
collections to a combination of
comfort and appearance, noting
that unlike plastic frames, the
versatility of nose pads allows the
frames to fit varying face shapes,
contours and sizes. And for those
with heavy Rx needs, lightweight
metal offers a thinness that
appeals to wearers.
“Some of the brands actually

a combination of metal and

that the pairing offers a rich and
elegant finish, frequently
appearing in the Tom Ford and
Balenciaga collections.
The anticipated GUESS Fall 2014
collection will feature five new
metal frame styles. “For the men’s
assortment we see the combination of metal fronts with plastic
temples, including the temples of
GU 1835 and GU 1836, which have
stylish fronts with a flat metal
construction and a matte shiny
effect on the temples,” Gamberini
explains. “For the women’s GUESS
assortment, GU 2469 and GU 2470
have transfer paper animal print
detailing on the front and temples,
which adds something special to
the flat metal construction.”
and Headlines 265 are all great
new metal frames that are going to
be perfect for the end of summer
leading into fall.”
