Handmade in Japan, these heirloom-quality frames combine the organic beauty of buffalo horn – each piece uniquely textured – with the timeless elegance of 925 silver, finished with an antique patina. This season’s campaign features the iconic London tailor Mark Powell, photographed and shot on video in his Soho store.

Optical style is taking a bold turn: cherry reds, electric blues, and other vibrant hues are replacing neutrals, while frame shapes are becoming bigger and more expressive. Statement-making designs crafted by OGI Eyewear’s Chief Creative Officer, David Duralde enhance individuality and confidence.

“I never want the eyewear to become one-dimensional,” said Mr Duralde. “My thought is always ‘how can I play with these trends in a nuanced way that celebrates the individual without shouting over them?’”
