Rey L e t You r Inner A n im a l O u t By Isabelle Boin-Serveau French eyewear designer Jean-François Rey was born in the Jura Mountains, a sub-alpine mountain range on the Swiss border known as the cradle of the eyewear industry for its longstanding history of traditional craftsmanship and excellence. 10 Spring Summer 2015 Interview J.F.REY – TITABOX French sophistication TitaBOX, a high-end optical collection for men and women, has it all: top-quality materials and a chic design. The exclusive acetate frames and patented high-tech hinges are sure to make others green with envy! BOZ EYEWEAR – ZUMBA Rhythmic and hot Zumba knows how to shake things up with sensual textures and lively colours. These hot frames will make you want to dance the salsa! While the eyewear business has been an integral part of the Rey family history for two generations now, JeanFrançois didn’t dive into it headfirst. Before he designed for top French ready-to-wear brands like Agnès B., Bensimon and Marithé François Girbaud, he studied law and international commerce and spent time travelling the world, finding his greatest inspiration in Asia, especially in Japan. The Man with the Golden Touch Of course, being a born designer, Jean-François Rey came home to pursue his destiny in 1980 to design his own frame collections. This decision would not only change the course of his life and career, but launch a style and design revolution that can still be felt in the luxury eyewear industry today. By the 90s, his bold concepts and striking innovations had made a huge splash. He was the first designer to introduce a staggered, frame-free side lens style. The dynamic style came to personify the designer and has been imitated in France and all over the world. As everyone knows, making glasses is a team effort, but it takes a master like Jean-François Rey to explore a variety of avenues and use a pool of talented voices to create something special. Despite its name, the J.F. REY brand reflects on more than a single designer. It taps into the talents of the many creative designers who labour to create the Boz Eyewear, Volte Face and Sky Eyes collections1. What’s the creative process that goes into your collections? SKY EYES – SCAMPI Bedazzling eyes These trendy, semi-vintage yet forward-looking sunglasses stand out for their fluorescent colours. Perfect if you want to turn heads this summer! Our designers work together like a well-oiled machine. These are extremely creative people who are wildly passionate about what they do. And while they may each have their own signature style, the brainstorming sessions they engage in are what produce results that might otherwise be unachievable. These are people who love a challenge, which is a major plus for us. What we do is a cross between art and engineering. It’s a business that requires highly complementary skill-sets and constant collaboration. All these collections can be seen at: www.jfrey.fr, www.boz-eyewear.com, www.volteface.com, www.skyeyes.fr. 1 11 Tmag Interview Twice the Style Fun fact: the eyewear designer is also lucky enough to share his passion for design with his wife, Joëlle, a woman who knows all about colour and texture. Her creativity and knack for choosing the perfect colour are behind all those fresh new colours that sound as dreamy as they look – milk cream, anise green, Sudanese brown, not to mention cascade green, a new favourite that can be seen in the new collections. Fueled by their shared creative passion, the couple love to travel the world for inspiration. What frames are you the most proud of? None in particular...or maybe all of them? Every concept has a story. Every collection is a new experience, technologically, esthetically and personally speaking. We owe our success to the great work that goes on between our designers, our suppliers and our plant workers in Jura. I suppose that’s what makes me most proud: the team spirit and passion that drive us to consistently produce magnificent collections. Creative Process J.F.REY - WILD Safari chic Animal print frames that will make you roar with pleasure! With their audacious colours and lines, Wild glasses are the perfect accessory for urban jungle dwellers. The Zebra model features panther markings while the Zebu model features African adventurer-style camouflage. Both are available in several shades. Go on! Take a bite out of life! There’s one trap no creative worker or designer ever wants to fall victim to: running out of gas or fresh ideas. Fortunately, Jean-François Rey can rely on the power of an elite team of designers to ensure that never happens. SKY EYES – SILO-PYTHON Bewitching charm These vintage-inspired sunglasses feature round, feminine acetate frames with a snake-skin like texture, in this case, the python print. You won’t need to walk in the shade with these sunglasses! 12 Spring Summer 2015 Interview How do you keep coming up with fresh ideas and resist the urge to repeat yourself? Every collection is a new creative and technical challenge. That’s the day-to-day work of our design teams: to keep pushing the envelope, innovating and amazing people. What keeps us relevant is the type of materials we choose, the decision to opt for unlikely colours or colour combinations, or to make unexpected use of raw materials. That’s what we do; it’s what drives us. You have to stay connected to that creative energy and draw inspiration from everything around you: art, architecture, design, your travels...I love Japan and my trips there have always inspired me and fueled my creative instincts. New technologies and high-tech materials go hand in hand with Japan’s refined and subdued culture. A recent example would be our Factory collections with their ultra-pointy design, exclusive materials and titanium sun clips. New technologies and high-tech materials go hand in hand with Japan’s refined and subdued culture. A recent example would be our Factory collections with their ultra-pointy design, exclusive materials and titanium sun clips. What are you working on now? We’re finishing up the collections that we’ll be presenting at Silmo 2015 in Paris: J.F. REY, Boz Eyewear, Volte Face and Sky Eyes, in addition to our Kids & Teens collections and our Petite collection for smaller faces. 2015 will also mark the start of a great project that resulted from an incredible meeting and the launch of a brand new line of JF Rey glasses…so stay tuned! Tips from a Master Do you have any tips on how to pick the right glasses? People often forget that a great pair of glasses can also be their best fashion accessory. Between the shape of your face and all the colours and materials out there, picking glasses can certainly be daunting, but the last thing you want to do is leave the decision to chance. You have to find the perfect face-frame fit based on the advice of an eye care professional. You have to be daring, playful, and assertive...and of course, make yourself happy! J.F.REY – FACTORY Modern manliness With his Factory collection, Jean-François Rey offers a manly and modern urban adventurer look. The titanium sun clips can be attached to a prescription frame in a design that bridges the past and future. Wow effect, guaranteed! VOLTE FACE - DORIS Chic and distinguished Classy, feminine and modern...Doris is all that and more with all that glitter that will light up your eyes. In a class of their own! 13 Tmag Product Information Be Sun Safe P r ot e c t Yo u r Ey e s a n d Lo o k G r e at Skin protection from the sun is a major concern for anyone who spends time outdoors, but are you aware the sun can also harm your vision? In fact, the sun’s UV rays contribute to the development of several serious eye conditions, including macular degeneration, cataracts and eyelid cancer. Prescription shades provide protection. Yet, less than 20% of today’s prescription eyeglass wearers buy Rx sun lenses. Many simply don’t know how much better performance they can get and how great they can really look with Rx sun lenses. Today, more options are available than ever before for optimum sport function, crisp and clear driving, and the fashionista. Today’s high performance sun lenses allow you to wear patented prescription sun products in a comprehensive collection of lenses, treatments, mirrors and tints for any style or activity. Prescription lenses offer advanced designs and patented technology for superior protection to meet your exact sun lens needs. Know the different types of lenses available for your specific needs. Polarized Lenses Polarized lenses enhance vision by reducing blinding glare, increasing clarity and improving colour perception. Polarized lenses assist in: • Providing 100% UVA/UVB protection • Eliminating glare • Allowing greater visual satisfaction for driving and outdoor activities Customized Sport and Fashion Sunglasses Many sunglass and sports frames have more front curvature than regular glasses. This curvature, referred to as “wrap”, presents optical challenges to maintain clear vision when looking through your lenses at different angles. Now, lenses are available that can be optically customized to the exact requirements of your prescription and wrap angle (or degree of curvature) of your favourite frame. This offers a consistently excellent optical performance across the entire lens. This type of lens for both progressive and single vision needs offers: • Maximum visual acuity offering up to 50% larger, clear fields of view • Use with high performance sport or fashion-driven wrap sunglasses • Full correction for the prismatic effects resulting from frame wrap • Reduced headache and eyestrain • Superior wearing comfort Lenses for High Performance and Protection Outdoors High performance sun lenses deliver extreme clarity, lightweight comfort, strength, and protection. Superior tint quality and lens performance make them perfect for golfing, biking, driving, skiing and all things outdoors. These unique lenses for both progressive and single vision offer: • Superior optical clarity for specific needs • Exceptional impact and stress resistance for durability and protection • Lightness—1.11 specific gravity for comfort • 100% UV protection • Chemical resistance for durability If you spend time in the sun, drive or participate in outdoor sports, ask a vision care professional to help you optimize and protect your vision.

Rey Model: JF2581 25 Tmag Eye Health Did You Know…? A Yearly Eye Exam Can Save Sight for Diabetics Diabetes can have damaging effects on both your vision and eye health. The biggest risk to vision is when it begins to cause a weakening or swelling in the tiny blood vessels that nourish the retina. This is called diabetic retinopathy, the largest cause of blindness in Canada for those under the age of 65. Some symptoms that may occur at the onset of diabetic retinopathy are blurred vision, flashes of light, sudden loss of vision and blotches or spots in vision. There may be no symptoms at all in early stages, making yearly visits with an optometrist necessary for detection and best treatment success. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, maintain optimal blood glucose levels, blood pressure and blood cholesterol, and continue to see an optometrist annually. Nutrients for Eye Health Three of the many important nutrients for eye health are lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids. Smartphones Linked to Increase in Eye Problems Prolonged smartphone use, especially among Millennials is linked to eye problems ranging from eye strain to myopia, and even temporary blindness. A survey from the Vision Council’s report on digital eye strain found that 7 out of 10 Millennials reported experiencing symptoms of eye strain. 84% of the Millennials surveyed owned a smartphone. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids and contain a pigment that is abundant in the macula of the eye. Consuming lutein and zeaxanthin, either in foods or in a supplement, results in an increase of carotenoids in the macula. Foods highest in lutein and zeaxanthin are kale and spinach. Three important omega-3 fatty acids are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). DHA and EPA are found in fish oils and ALA is found in nuts and flax seed. Experts recommend taking a break every 20 minutes and focusing on a more distant object, at least 6 meters away, to avoid eye strain. 26 Spring Summer 2015 Distributed by / Bobbi Brown The Duke Perfect Glasses for Your Face c h o o si n g Your Frame Finding the right pair of glasses doesn’t just happen by chance. You need to be armed with specific information to correctly evaluate facial proportions, angles and shapes, which then allows you to choose glasses that will highlight the natural contours of your face. And no one is better positioned to identify the shape of your face (round, oval, square or triangular), or to help you choose a pair of glasses that will suit your face, than your optician. Maintain Perfect Natural Balance An oval face appears longer than it is wide, with high cheekbones and the forehead being slightly wider than the jaw. To maintain this natural balance, frames that are as wide as or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face are the best choice. Alternatively, walnut-shaped frames that are not too deep or narrow also suit an oval face. However, ovals are lucky in that almost any frame design will suit them. You can also choose cat-eye, oval, round or angular frames, like the models suggested on the right-hand page. After discussing square faces in our last issue, let’s now talk about oval faces. Identifying your face shape is the key to choosing your perfect frames. An oval face is considered to be the ideal shape because of its balanced proportions. It also offers the most versatility when it comes to eyewear choices. Ask your optician which glasses look best on you. 28 Spring Summer 2015 Perfect Glasses for Your Face F R Am e s f o r Oval Faces Choose a cat-eye, oval, round or angular frame.

According to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) in their 2014 Fact Book, greater numbers of Canadians are going mobile and spending more time than ever texting (93% of use), accessing the Internet (82% of use) and watching videos (37% of use). Actual smartphone ownership has increased to 57% in Canada, higher than the global average of 42% and a 10% increase over 2012 to 2013. These progressive lenses also allow the wearer to easily refocus at multiple distances from near to far quickly and comfortably all day long. The result is a level of clarity and comfort that ordinary lenses can’t provide in today’s visually demanding world. Extensive mobile use challenges the way we use our eyes like never before, especially, if you’re in the age group requiring progressive lenses for close up viewing. Reading books and magazines is done at a natural relaxed arm’s length distance. Conventional progressive lenses have been designed to suit this print reading style. We hold our digital devices significantly closer to the eyes compared to the distance from the eyes we hold conventional printed materials like books and magazines. The lower contrast and resolution, print and image size on screens require us to move the device closer. Even if you don’t wear progressives or glasses at all, eyestrain and headache can be experienced with regular digital device use by those in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s. Advanced single vision lenses offer a solution. By providing a comfortable power boost for near vision combined with excellent visual acuity at all viewing distances, these digital lenses help people suffering from eyestrain to develop more comfortable vision. Signs You May Need Progressive Lenses for Your Digital World A New Range of Digital Lenses for Single Vision Wearers How Digital Lenses Work for You If you’re an active smartphone or tablet user and your eyeglasses do not accommodate for this difference, your visual system has to do extra work! This visual challenge goes beyond the eyes. The viewer may compensate by assuming unnatural head and body postures in order to bring the content on the mobile device into sharper focus. This, in turn, may cause: •Eyestrain •Headache • Muscle strain in the back, neck and shoulders • Dry eyes • Digital Lenses enable relaxed vision and outstanding visual acuity when using smartphones or tablet PCs, making it easier for your eyes to focus. •A power boost for comfortable closeup vision relaxes your eye muscles, while allowing you to maintain sharp focus. Having to focus on your phone, and then a magazine, across the room, and back to the phone also creates visual stress. If you have a mobile phone, use other digital devices or a computer daily, ask a vision care professional to help you optimize your vision. Enhanced Progressive Lenses to the Rescue Enhanced progressive lens designs are now available to meet the demanding vision requirements for Canadians’ mobile needs. When the right lens options are prescribed, the challenge of seeing digital content up close and conventional print at a further distance is resolved. The result is strain-free vision for both print and digital device distances. 30 Spring Summer 2015 This information capsule is brought to you by Zeiss The moment your eyes keep up with your digital life.

Fashion M a rs a l a 1 By Charleen Wyman, BA Journalism and Communications If you’re a trend setter or looking for a colour that will complement your skin tone and match your accessories this season, Marsala it is. The spring’s top colour is named after and inspired by the Italian, fortified wine from Sicily. Marsala, a naturally robust and earthy wine red, has been named the Colour of the Year for 2015 by the world colour authority Pantone. “Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. The appealing hue is seeping quickly into fashion, beauty, accessory, luxury cars and eyewear. The tone Marsala has already been a hit on Spring 2015 runways in the collections of fashion designers Daniel Silverstain, Hervé Léger by Max Azria and Dennis Basso. The Versatility of Marsala in Eyewear Used for apparel and accessories, the shade is appearing in eyewear collections on its own and pairs well with neutrals, including warmer taupes and grays. Because of its burnished undertones, Marsala is also compatible with amber and golden yellows, greens in both turquoise and teal, and blues in the more vibrant range. Marsala is flattering against many skin tones. Sultry and subtle, Marsala is a great “go-to” colour for beauty, providing bold highlight for the cheek, and a rich pop of colour for nails and lips. The earthy shade can be toned down or charged up. A matte finish highlights Marsala’s organic nature, while adding sheen conveys a completely different message of sophistication, glamour and luxury. Just like the wine, the colour is being used liberally or sparingly. Sweet Marsala is primarily used as a cooking wine; the colour Marsala makes a great base colour. The wine can also be made dry and fine enough for sipping, like sherry or madeira and equally, the colour can be used as a delightful accent. Other flavourful colours you will see and can try on in eyewear and sunwear this spring and summer are Pantone’s Custard, Tangerine and Strawberry Ice. 32 Spring Summer 2015 Fashion Colour of the Year 2 1 Vogue 3 Model: VO2971s 2 Bon Vivant Model: Christophe 3 Joop Model: 1108 4 MaxMara Model: Classy Floral Bloom (Coral) 5 Bon Vivant Model: Donatella 4 5 33 Tmag References Publisher VuePoint IDS Editor-in-Chief Charleen Wyman, [email protected] Contributing Editor Isabelle Boin-Serveau Production Coordination Brigitte Lavigne Translation The Team Hélène Auclair Marc-André Séguin KG Traduction Graphic Design VuePoint IDS Advertising David Pietrobon Printing Impart Litho Imprimeur advertisers Air Optix® Colors 35 Bobbi Brown 27 airoptix.com safilo.com Diane von Furstenberg 5 Guess 7 HUGO BOSS 2 marchon.com guess.com safilo.com Lightec9 morel-france.com Öga36 oga-eyewear.ca ZEISS 4, 8, 15, 31 zeiss.ca 34 Spring Summer 2015 www.oga-eyewear.ca
