Volte Face // Collection SS2020

Appreciated for its timeless charm and its “classic offbeat” style, the VOLTE FACE PARIS brand embodies Parisian elegance, luxury and refined. If the collections bear witness to the spirit of the times and artistic trends such as Art Deco, which are still very present, they nevertheless remain very close to the founding requirements: jewel inspiration, chiseled acetates, detailed decorations, elaborate finishes and sophisticated palettes. Its frames are fashioned from the finest materials, mixing exclusive colors and unexpected transparencies, precious color charts, textured effects and refined details. The beauty of the harmonies, the richness of the style and the materials combined to the sober elegance of the forms make each frame an exceptional piece, infinitely feminine. Combining discreet luxury and contemporary refinement, the brand has known how to invent its own chic, influenced by jewelry crafts, decorative arts, haute couture and contemporary art. Finding the rare and unique object that will inspire a decoration detail or a combination of colors is a permanent creative quest for Fanélie COLOMB, designer of the brand. Each frame is an intimate creation, thought to be worn as a unique and exceptional piece. Adorned with sophisticated materials, with small chic details or sublimated by bright palettes, the VOLTE FACE PARIS models showcase French eyewear traditional craftsmanship.

Collection SS2020, The revelation through the frame.

The new collection draws its strength from silhouettes that exacerbate a free and subtly powerful femininity. It focuses on the interconnection between the frame and the aesthetic with a strong design intention to illuminate and reveal the look, taking care to work on each detail. The models revisit the potential of the creativity of materials and color associations. Unexpected light effects, hidden details, sculpted volumes, textured materials, new and extremely varied colors, and a wealth of acetate collages: the brand offers a wide range of stylistic alternatives that influence creations by placing the gaze at the center of the artistic process. Each piece strives to magnify the different inspirations of the brand by drawing on its best know-how: Art Deco lines and patterns (ORLA, OHM, OLGA, OFÉLIE), precious details borrowed from fine jewelry (ORLA, OHM), textured effects and elaborated collages from contemporary textiles (OLIVE, ORELY, ONYX, ORIANE, OLA).

The frames take on unique sparkles and capture the eye thanks to the two-color treatment carried out on metal, the faceted volume of which intensifies the play of light. The aesthetics and the stylistic richness of the acetate materials combined with reworked colors magnify the volume and the elegance of the frames.

These new models have been handmade in the most beautiful Italian manufactures. They are inspired by the iconic technical folds of couture pieces who made the reputation of Issey Miyake, remarkably interpreted by a work in volume of the acetate. The material is delicately sculpted using a sharp milling technique that gives the frames exceptional shine and reflections. The chiseled effects, the rhythms, the reliefs and the plays of light come to structure the face and give character to the models.

A line that reflects Parisian elegance and the expertise of the house.
