FACE A FACE
F Collection
Thirty years of fearless creativity deserve more than a simple celebration. With the launch of its new FACE A FACE F Collection, the French brand steps into what it calls its “3.0 dimension”, a world where heritage and innovation collide.
The collection is unapologetically bold, where every model name begins with the letter F, a playful alphabet of style that speaks a universal visual language.
Each frame becomes a narrative, a sculptural expression, a fresh horizon. And at its core, FACE A FACE proudly remains rooted in its OFG certification, marking its Guaranteed French Origin as a seal of authenticity.
FRIDAY // Power in Colour
The FRIDAY frame channels the suave aesthetics of Mad Men’s golden era, but reframes it for the present. With its thick silhouette, this design is a tribute to the iconic American eyewear of the 1950s, yet transformed with FACE A FACE’s unique colour language. Deep blue, warm brown, and a daring shock of fuchsia collide, proving that power doesn’t always come in grayscale.
FRIDAY redefines corporate sophistication with a twist. Its message is simple: authority can be colourful.
FLICKER // Retro Reloaded
If FRIDAY is a nod to vintage elegance, FLICKER catapults us straight into the digital arcade. With its pixel-inspired bridge and angular details, this frame is a love letter to retro gaming and space invaders. But it doesn’t stop at nostalgia—it reloads the retro codes with fluorescent shocks of colour, a futuristic reinterpretation where past and present flicker together.
Wearing FLICKER feels like stepping into a neon-lit arcade where geometry and imagination run free.
FACTORY // Forged with Energy
Industrial at heart yet pulsing with energy, FACTORY is all about raw strength reimagined through design. Sculpted in metal and energized with vibrant fluorescent details, the frame seems wired with electricity, as though colour itself flows like current through its structure. Its integrated flex system merges technical precision with visual drama, crafting a piece that feels forged rather than designed.
FACTORY is unapologetic, metallic, raw, and alive with hidden force.
FOREST // Nature in Lines
For those drawn to organic beauty, FOREST offers a poetic counterpoint to the raw urban energy of FACTORY. Inspired by the rhythm of trees and branches, its sculpted front and offset temples echo the irregularity of a woodland canopy. New shades of green and textures reminiscent of wood bring a tactile dimension to the design, suggesting light filtering through branches on a quiet walk.
FOREST is both grounded and ethereal, a pure gaze shaped by nature’s hand.
FUTUR // Sculpting Colour
FACE A FACE has always played with colour, but FUTUR transforms it into sculpture. Overlapping pixels generate subtle gradients and surprising fusions, creating a minimalist frame that radiates maximal emotion. At the endpieces, micro-sculpted pixels give dimension and depth, almost as if light itself had been captured in material form.
FUTUR is more than a design—it is colour given three-dimensional voice, a forward-looking interpretation of how we see and feel.
FOLD // Origami for the Eyes
Finally, FOLD folds geometry into elegance. Inspired by origami, the frame reveals unexpected depth through refined contrasts, where every fold creates finesse and hidden angles. Its square endpiece appears delicately balanced between two fine points, while a secret layer of colour emerges only when the frame is viewed in profile.
FOLD turns eyewear into an architectural play of shadows and surfaces—an elegant puzzle where every perspective reveals something new.
A Bold French Alphabet of Design
The FACE A FACE F Collection is more than a seasonal release; it is their team of desingers declaring their next chapter. By weaving retro nostalgia, futuristic energy, natural poetry, and sculptural colour into six distinct stories, the brand once again proves that its creative spirit is bolder and freer than ever.
Thirty years on, FACE A FACE continues to shape the landscape of eyewear, rooted in France, but speaking a language the world understands.
About FACE A FACE
Launched in 1995, FACE A FACE is a contemporary eyewear brand founded in France by Pascal Jaulent, Nadine Roth and Alyson Magee.

Their collections are a reflection of this rich cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from the worlds of art, architecture, design, and the latest fashion trends.
FACE A FACE is more than just a brand. It’s a reflection of the best the world has to offer. Each frame is a handcrafted work of art. There is luxury in every detail.
