Yalea Draws Portrait of Dreams

Yalea, a house brand of the De Rigo Group, which has always been committed to supporting women, presents the second chapter of its project “The Portrait of Dreams”, dedicated to the different faces of female beauty, continuing to explore the theme of sisterhood. “Sisterhood” is a journey that explores the concept of sisterhood as a social, ethical, and emotional pact built among women. It talks about how joining forces with other women can be a formidable resource for creating positive change in today’s society and culture. It is knowing that together we are stronger and that emancipation is only possible if we forge solid alliances and treat each other as sisters. After the first couples chosen for last season, Yalea presents five new couples of women as testimonials, sharing their experiences and their stories. The protagonists of the campaign wear the new Yalea eyewear collection that embodies the elegance and refinement typical of the brand. A selection of sophisticated models with timeless lines, designed to enhance the face rather than hide it, celebrating authentic beauty and individuality. Yalea reaffirms its commitment to the female universe by supporting its freedom of choice, favouring its talent and rewarding personal beauty.

Morel Honors Optical Minimalism

Morel sets a new standard with its latest rimless collection, Comete—a masterclass in optical minimalism, technical precision, and poetic refinement. Created for wearers who value both design integrity and everyday comfort, Comete reflects a philosophy where less truly is more. This ultra-lightweight line redefines the possibilities of rimless eyewear, offering exceptional durability and unmatched adaptability, all while maintaining an elegant, understated presence. At the heart of Comete lies a screwless, solderless monobloc construction—an engineering feat that removes the weak points typically associated with rimless frames. Built from a single piece of material, each model achieves a rare combination of strength and flexibility. Integrated hinges and precision-cut temples ensure a custom-like fit that naturally conforms to different face shapes, elevating the wearing experience from functional to seamless. True to Morel’s design language, the absence of embellishment is intentional. The finely polished lens edges reflect light like crystal, while the delicate gold and silver structures provide a touch of refined luxury. Temple tips, treated with textured finishes or soft hues, add a subtle yet personal twist—proof that minimalism can still be expressive. Available in styles for both men and women, Comete stands out not through volume or ornamentation, but through vision, clarity, and confidence.

The Australian eyewear brand Le Specs joins forces with the independent London label No Problemo to launch an exclusive capsule collection that merges the racing aesthetic of the early 2000s with an ultra-futuristic imaginary.

The color palette? A cosmic journey through metallic silvers and bold, high-impact hues, in a visual symphony named after galaxies and sci-fi dystopias: Pluto, Cyborg, Vortex, and Black Pool.
