Relaunched two years ago, Nylor, the iconic French brand dating back to the mid-1950s, presents a new eyewear collection based on its traditional values. Inspired by the iconic vintage designs that made the brand famous, Nylor has repositioned its collection with a contemporary flavour, selecting the finest materials in the present to recreate the unique new variations of the handcrafted designs of its past. Made in Italy, the designs come in a range of materials including acetate or metal coated in precious metals such as gold or silver.  For sunglasses, the frames are fitted with Zeiss Originals tints from the 1950s, specifically reissued to fit perfectly with the style and 50s origins of the range. Highlights this season include the model Leopold, a tribute to the poet, Léopold Sédar Senghor. The design is all about the structure of the brow line, a thick, delicately bevelled acetate bar which curves into the temples seamlessly creating a single line which wraps around either side of the face.
