Paloceras presents its new eyewear collaboration with Djibril Cissé, a professional footballer and style icon, under the name Leopard Lace. The limited-edition capsule collection combines personal symbolism with contemporary optical design. The project is based on an approach that translates Cissé’s unique and bold style, which he has maintained for years, into a design language. The collaboration capsule consists of two models selected from Paloceras’ Nouvelle Fiction series and stands out as a new interpretation of the brand’s Pebble collection adapted for everyday use. The C2 model offers an oversized pentagonal silhouette that stands out with its sculptural volume and balanced proportions. The S2 model, on the other hand, brings a different character to the collection with its square shape and more structured design. One of the standout features of Leopard Lace is its production technique. Instead of the standard milling method, Paloceras uses a special molding process that presses the frame and temples separately. This method preserves the volume of the material, resulting in a deeper and more sculptural form. The models are made from 6 mm heat-molded Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate, known for its density and durability. The design features a gold-plated special wire core, a Visottica-signed three-joint hinge system, and engraving details unique to the brand.

The French eyewear brand Anne & Valentin is expanding its design universe with new models. Inspired by frosted glass and the delicate marks left by time, the frames combine technical precision with an almost organic softness. The petite oval silhouette Vassia carries an elegant yet self assured expression. With its refined proportions and subtle hinge details, the model reveals a playful character. While maintaining a sophisticated presence, it offers a compact, charming and well balanced design. Venza presents a medium sized rectangular shape that stretches horizontally.

With a thoughtful and measured design approach, it balances clarity with an introspective simplicity. Another standout model from Anne & Valentin, Vitri stands out with its generously rounded form that almost evokes the moon.
