Volte Face // French Elegance

Essential in the women’s collections of the Maison Jean-François Rey, the brand VOLTE FACE conveys the idea of French elegance, delivering singular, refined and always very detailed pieces.  It has the unique know-how, like the large jewellery houses, revealing simple shapes into exceptional frames.

The brand’s identity is built around creative research on the effects of acetate material, colour harmonies and decorative assemblies, always favouring a handmade quality in the best French and Italian manufacturers. The creation comes with a Mazzucchelli’ exclusive partnership allowing the brand to constantly renew the models in infinitely varied palettes.

The collection F/W 2021-2022 is all about creative diversity in colours and acetate materials, delivering to the glance beautifully artistic compositions. It consists of 14 models which bring to light the exceptional achievement on the acetate, while taking care, always, to work every detail.

The colour charts are subtle and deliver rich and unprecedented crystalline gradients, always going further and further in pastels, shades hues and combinations of refined tints. More assertive shapes, geometric acetate collages and fashion colour ranges imbued with contemporary influences: the style of the new collection evolves towards more modernity and delivers a dynamic, insured and sensual look.

Rotary

Made in France, this model is designed around colorful harmonies, soft and vibrant sensuality. It’s distinguished by its geometric outline, brought to light by a work of colored asymmetry on the acetate materials. Subtle and distinctive, it is achieved thanks to a two-dimensional bonding technique bringing unique effects of fades, tones extremely nuanced in the gradations and crystalline transparencies.

Rina, Reine

These two models offer an elegant and extremely refined combination of metal and acetate. It consists of distinct shapes, beautifully crafted in the spirit of minimalist geometry, with great precision and high stylistic ambition. Deeply embedded in the brand’s DNA, the creativity of materials and colors is a bias that can be found here in every detail: complex laminations in the corner of the eyes, bold cutting of the frame lug, and jewel temples worked in volume.

The design calls on the best French and Italian know-how, both on materials and techniques, with the same requirements of production quality and finish. The refreshing aesthetics of the models is carried by contrasting multicoloured ranges and intense bright giving the collection its modern and singular spirit. New models that set the look and the allure apart.
