Sàfilo: Oxydo
RAINBOW BRIGHT

Sàfilo USA launches its Oxydo ophthalmic collection in the U.S. The line consists of seven metals, including one titanium and four stainless-steel designs, two zyls and three metal/zyl combinations. Shapes are unisex and primarily rectangular with elongated silhouettes although a few styles are variations on ovals. Targeted to trendconscious men and women who are not designer name driven but who have a great sense of style, the collection features bold, colorful frames that are also wearable. Predominant colors are blue/violet, acid green, cyclamen pink, raspberry/green and fuchsia/orange, but more conservative tones such as black, brown, khaki and gunmetal are also available.
