Cycling-influenced frames from Lunettes Kollektion and designer James Long

Berlin eyewear label Lunettes Kollektion and rising British designer James Long have teamed up to launch a new line of cycling-inspired, stripes-decorated eyeglasses. Seven styles kick off with frame colors in toffee and incense – some pairing contrasting fronts and temples for a jaunty effect. The frames will be available in three lens colors: gold mirror, silver mirror, and dark green. The sporty shades are on track for a perfect match with Long’s Spring/Summer 2014 cycling-influenced collection, which uses rubberized cotton, woven mesh knitwear, jersey woven with lurex, and embossed nylon, as well as performance elements like zips and hoods – all to velodromatic effect. “The fabrication and design detailing of Lunettes Kollection is really interesting, clever and modern,” said James Long. “We thought working with Lunettes would be a great addition to the SS14 collection.” The frames will be available worldwide, priced at € 359 More info www.lunettes-kollektion.com www.jameslonguk.com
