Blackfin’s S/S 2024 Titanium Elegance https://visionplusmag.com/eyewear-collection/blackfins-s-s-2024-titanium-elegance/ Thu, 18 Jan 2024 07:22:15 +0000 https://visionplusmag.com/?p=146470 The Blackfin Spring/Summer 2024 collection is all about colour, art and the production techniques utilised in its eyewear families. A theme that, in Blackfin Pacific, is found in the ultra-thin thicknesses and soft lines of the frames, where the company’s expertise adds value to its design products.

Four new Pacific styles perpetuate the line’s creative concept – the minimalist Nordic design and sophisticated style of America’s West Coast are interpreted in an authentic made-in-Italy product. As always, titanium is the common denominator throughout the entire collection. Here, a distillation of technology and artisan craftsmanship transforms a solid 3mm block of titanium into ultra-light but super-strong frames.

The four medium-gauge frames have thin profiles highlighted by polished, antiqued or matte colours that exemplify consummate artisan mastery in the surface treatment of the material. Mavericks is a double-bridge style with slightly flattened teardrop lenses whose modern good looks stem from colour options ranging from bright red to military green, polished gold and black/silver. This frame is also available with sun and cocktail lenses for an added touch of glamour.

The unisex appeal is shared by both Pasadena, rounded pantos, and the intellectual Tahoe, a small oval frame with a low bridge. Both come in a wide array of colours, from navy blue to bright red with temples in silver, antiqued or polished gold, black or polished silver. Also available in a version with cocktail lenses. Lastly, Joshua, a timeless rectangular frame updated with vivacious colours – bright red, electric blue and military green as well as matte black and antiqued grey.

Blackfin F/W 23-24 Eyewear Collection https://visionplusmag.com/eyewear-collection/blackfin-f-w-23-24-eyewear-collection/ Wed, 25 Oct 2023 07:40:19 +0000 https://visionplusmag.com/?p=121524 Color that illuminates the new optical frames in the Blackfin One line, the line most closely identified with and representative of the brand’s DNA.

    
Biarritz and St. Ives are the physical manifestations of the Blackfin creative concept: the perfect blend of design, technology, and color. The former is a large, round frame; the latter is more oval.

The new Northport and Seward men’s styles express a timeless mood – a round panto and a squared shape, both with the new, slightly lower temple detail.

The men’s Brixham and women’s Bodega Bay instead have bold profiles and curved bridges for a soft touch effect. The classic shapes cut from a single block of titanium reveal a refreshing newness in the brighter solid or gradient colors.

Blackfin F/W 2023 Eyewear Collection https://visionplusmag.com/eyewear-collection/blackfin-f-w-2023-eyewear-collection/ Fri, 13 Oct 2023 09:17:56 +0000 https://visionplusmag.com/?p=120763 Blackfin expanded the Pacific line, adding four new optical styles. The entire fall/winter 2023 collection features bold colors, calculated to enhance the shapes of the eyewear and to accentuate the quality of the material – titanium – that, thanks to the company’s technical skills, allows the creation of outstanding colors and nuances. The new Blackfin Pacific frames are also distinguished by accents of color that subtly blend the elegance of classic contours and the modernity of timeless contemporary minimalist design.

Four styles emerge from a solid 3mm block of titanium – 2 women’s, 1 men’s and 1 unisex – with curved profiles for a soft-touch effect.

The rounded contours of Catalina and the slightly flattened ones of Carmel express a sophisticated femininity thanks in part to the combination of glossy and matte colors, like burgundy red and anodized pink, matte neon pink with polished silver, plum with glossy violet or, with a lighter touch, red or turquoise rims on a light gold frame.

The colors seem more subdued in the squared men’s Yosemite and the unisex Sonoma, even with the new antiqued gold or antiqued gunmetal effect.

The contrast between matte colors and polished details emphasizes the artisan mastery applied to the color process, one of the most delicate stages of processing, carried out entirely by hand at the Black Shelter facility. The added style detail of gradient photochromic lenses means the glasses can be worn under any light conditions, even indoors.

Wanderlust features an engraved texture around the edges of the front, repeated along the double bridge.

Copeland expresses the same stylistic and craftsmanship concepts but in a larger teardrop shape.

Crescent Moon, on the other hand, is decidedly feminine. The striking generous squared front is accentuated by broad edges that become slender as they near the bridge.
