Robert Marc Reveals Latest Inspiration, the Palm Springs Collection
More Images |
Specifics: The new sun and ophthalmic shapes are characterized by sleek contours and sculptural curves, styled with a cool, retro-modern sensibility.
Selling Points: The iconic modernist architecture of Palm Springs is angular, sophisticated, relaxed and lively, and is a deliberate arrangement of abstract form, color and balance. “Color was always an important element of the architecture in Palm Springs, and in this collection I have used color, both contrasting and complimentary, to bring out the graphic potential in the clean-lined design of the frames,” said Marc. “I also layered temples with contrasting bright colors creating a vibrant energy that is in perfect tune with modernism.”
