Beta-titanium optical frames brightened by rims derived from a colorful nylon lens ‒ enter the Blackfin New Aura styles for Fall/Winter 2021-22. Transformed, the new Aura frames are thinner and combine the two technical materials in a functional design that ensures greater stability and simplicity in pressure-mounting the lenses.
The concept of cross-fertilization informs the new Blackfin Aura frames in which the elements merge naturally to produce the perfect techno-glamour balance of elegance, light and color. McDowell has a slightly squared panto shape, while Yates has softer, more rounded lines. The gradient nylon rims seem to blend seamlessly with the titanium ‒ available in a palette of tones from shades of green and blue to silver grey and black gold in the former; and bordeaux red, vibrant blue, brown and amber gold in the latter.
All of the styles in the Blackfin Aura line are hypoallergenic, 100% bio-compatible, nickel-free and come with tilting nose pads in medical-grade PVC and adjustable, ergonomically designed Swordfish temple tips.
