CHANGE IS NECESSARY, BUT HOW? Giorgio Armani recently said: “Enough of the mausoleums, Fashion will change everything�.

The icon designer thinks that there will be a revolution in the fashion industry and retail and it will be completed within 2-3 years.

This assessment is also valid for the eyewear industry. Consumers are in fact rapidly changing their purchasing habits. They can compare costs and models on-line and even purchase with the same method. Thanks to the Internet, buying decision is no more only directly connected to the importance, the reputation, the size or the furnishing of a store.

Retail must therefore face a massive change and innovation, based on new purchasing experiences, becomes the solution. More precisely: innovation, customization and service.

Today it is hard to define what a store is because the barriers between the physical and digital retail outlet fade more and more.

Touch screen and tablet are beginning to support the exploration of physical products in the store, we even see the birth of free pick up centres for online purchases.

3D printing now enables the birth of workshop-stores that allow the consumer to choose, or believe to choose, the style of frames and sunglasses that does not exist, designed only for him.

The task of the trade exhibitions is to guide, advise and inform the target market and the international events in our industry are striving to be a valid reference. One example is the initiative proposed by opti in Munich, a guided path for visitors looking for products and technologies related to information and digital communication, digital production and automation, digital management of processes, digital services.

POLICE COLLECTION

by ENRICO FURLAN

The first Police collection created by Enrico Furlan, the new Creative Director of De Rigo Vision’s House Brands, has been unveiled.

Furlan’s influence is immediately evident in the new 2017 collection of Police eyewear, the first to be personally created by the designer, with new models that embody the brand’s heritage and anticipate new trends.

Furlan himself explains the creative process behind this new collection.

“A look at the past in order to construct the future of the brand: I wanted to begin my work by examining the distinctive features of Police that have underpinned the success of the brand since the 1980s” – he begins. “Offering a modern and innovative new take on these elements was the key to creating a distinctive new collection that remains consistent with the Police world, reflecting its bold and daring character”.

“The collection was developed in accordance with three main guidelines” – continues Furlan. “A strong brand identity, represented by every single product in the collection via a series of highly distinctive elements; a clear stylistic positioning in four clusters, in accordance with the target; notable attention to detail, with high levels of research also in the most straightforward of models”.

VEDERE INTERNATIONAL – JANUARY 2017

The influence of the new Creative Director is very clear in the new models. In the men’s collection masks and models with ultra-flat lenses are joined by more traditional frames with temples that stand out for their highly innovative construction and materials; the details inspired by Police’s heritage express the brand’s modern new personality and are a source of additional value.

The other major novelty is the women’s collection which has been completely revamped, beginning with the new logo, with a touch of real femininity: an explosion of gutsiness that plays around with new and oversize shapes, camouflage and floral colours, and temples in glitter-effect rubber.

Furlan is also the creative director for all of Police’s lifestyle products and works in close contact with the licensing partners of the watch, jewellery, perfumes and small leather goods lines.

For this crucially important and strategic role De Rigo Vision has appointed a professional with an in-depth knowledge of eyewear. In fact, Furlan joins the Belluno-based company having already acquired many years of experience in the high-end eyewear sector. For over 15 years he worked for companies in the business such as Filos-Metzler and Safilo, for fashion brands such as Prada and, most recently, for over 7 years at Dolce and Gabbana, where he was Eyewear Design Manager.

MEN SUNGLASSES COLLECTION The men’s collection is developed in 4 clusters, each one with very specific products and targets: Heritage Urban, the brand’s metropolitan, distinctive look, Heritage Sport, casual and comfortable, Discovery, non-conventional and innovative, Fast Fashion, trendy and eye-catching.

Mod Flow 1 has a total silver style with a futuristic, non-conventional look. The frontpiece is a flat mask in an oversize, aviator shape. The flexible temples are in ultra-thin metal.

HALO SUNGLASSES COLLECTION An explosion of bold styles plays around with new and oversize shapes, with camou-floral colours and rubber temples with real glitter.

The new “HALO” models of the 2017 Police Sun Collection epitomise a revolutionary concept.

Designed as unisex eyewear, these unique and truly unusual accessories are sure not to go unnoticed.

The innovative flat lenses - this season’s trend - are enhanced by a minimalist frame with a futuristic design. This is made possible by a special construction technique, whereby the same material is used both for the lens and for front piece, for an unprecedented blend of transparencies and mirror effects. The only metal features are the slender temples and the profile surrounding the front piece.

The “HALO” line comprises three different styles, comprehensive of two sunglasses (Halo 1 and Halo 2) and one optical model (Halo 3), available in six colours each, for a total of 18 styles.

Halo 1 is a squared model with a metal double bridge. The outer rims, in a silver mirrored lens material, embrace smoky grey lenses.

WOMEN SUNGLASSES COLLECT ION An explosion of bold styles plays around with new and oversize shapes, with camou-floral colours and rubber temples with real glitter.

In model SPL412 the rounded shape of the fuchsia coloured clear acetate front piece is enhanced by the double gold bridge. The profile of the temples resembles the form of the Police “wings”, while, in terms of materials, a special soft rubber with sparkling glitter makes its very first appearance.

Feather-weight

sinuous nature of titanium

The feather-weight sinuous nature of titanium is the hallmark of the new Spring/Summer 2017 collection of Blackfin eyewear previewed at the Munich trade fair.

BF781 Doran is a spectacle frame for women with clear-cut square lines. The ample outline of the front is emphasised by the three-dimensional finish of the top rim which is elongated on the outer corners giving it an elegant cat’seye look. The original gloss/opaque colour play or the twotone front and temples combination are emblematic of the unmistakeable Blackfin style.

All Blackfin frames are made of titanium and beta-titanium with Swordfish temple tips, a company patent, whose break-off guides make it possible to shorten the temples in three simple moves.

All Blackfin eyewear is manufactured according to the neomadeinitaly precepts, an all-Italian production model that cares not only for the product but for the people who produce it. It pays homage to Italian excellence at its best and to all those who represent it. But that’s not all, neomadeinitaly also embodies a whole new way of thinking and working. This is an approach born of passion, dedication, respect and care for the workers and their working environment.
