Mit Vintage Sunglasses at the lake habe ich meinen Auftakt für die Liu Jo Serie auf meinem Blog gestartet. Ein Shooting bei der Bregenzer Seebühne, die auch heuer wieder atemberaubend im Wasser glänzt. Liu Jo ist einen italienische Marke, die unverwechselbar in ihrem Stil ist. Dieser Stil ist auch bei den Brillen und Sonnenbrillen erkennbar. Kreativität, Eleganz und Extravaganz beschreiben die aktuelle Kollektion. Ein Augenschmaus bei der Kollektionsschau. Neben wunderschönen Sonnenbrillen mit Vintage touch, befinden sich auch Sonnenbrillen im Cat Eye Stil oder octoganale Fassungen in der Kollektion. Aber nicht nur bei den Sonnenbrillen glänzen die Brillen mit italienischen Attributen.
Der italienische Stil ist im internationalen Vergleich mit anderen Modestilen unverkennbar. Das liegt nicht nur an den Designern, die die Kleidungsstücke entwerfen, sondern vor allem an den Träger/-innen. Sie geben der italienischen Mode den unverkennbaren, markanten Charakter.
Heute präsentiere ich euch auf meinem Brillenblog FACEPRINT eine klassische und dezente Brille von Liu Jo. Die runde Metallbrille überzeugt, nicht nur wegen ihrer Schlichtheit, sondern auch wegen ihrer Größe, mit der die Brille zu einem echten Blickfang wird. Die Liu Jo Eyewear Kollektion spiegelt die natürliche Weiblichkeit und Schönheit der heutigen Frau wider. Ohne aufgesetzt zu wirken und ohne Kitsch. Es stehen tatsächlich viel mehr raffinierte Verzierungen im Vordergrund und charmante Details die den Fassungen einen feminine Note verleihen. Bald werdet ihr davon noch mehr auf meinem Instagram Feed sehen. Seid gespannt.
Wir hätten keine passendere Location für dieses Shooting wählen können, als das Montforthaus in Feldkirch. Das neugebaute Kultur- und Kongresszentrum ist hochmodern, stilvoll und elegant. Genau wie die Brillen von Liu Jo ist die Location unaufdringlich und wirkt beim Betrachten für sich. Ein wenig „dolce vita“ und die Träumerei für Italien waren dennoch zu Spüren. Denn in Gedanken war ich schon bei meinem nächsten Italien Urlaub …
With Vintage Sunglasses at the lake I started my prelude to the Liu Jo series on my blog. A shoot at the Bregenz Lakeside Theatre, which again shines breathtakingly in the water this year. Liu Jo is an Italian brand that is distinctive in its style. This style is also recognizable in their glasses and sunglasses. Creativity, elegance and extravagance are words which describes the current collection. A feast for the eyes at the collection show. In addition to beautiful sunglasses with vintage touch, there are also sunglasses in Cat Eye style or octogonal versions in the collection. But not only the sunglasses shine with Italian attributes, also their frames.
The Italian style is unmistakable in international comparison with other fashion styles. This is not only due to the designers who design the fashion, but especially to the wearers. They give the Italian fashion the unmistakable, distinctive character. Today I present to you on my eyewear blog FACEPRINT a classic and discreet glasses of Liu Jo. The round metal glasses are convincing, not only because of their simplicity, but also because of their size, which makes the glasses a real eye-catcher. The Liu Jo eyewear collection reflects the natural femininity and beauty of today’s woman. Without seeming false and without kitsch. In fact, there are many more refined ornaments in the foreground and charming details that give the versions a feminine touch. Soon you will see more of this on my Instagram feed. Be curious.
We could not have chosen a more suitable location for this shoot than the Montforthaus in Feldkirch. The newly built Culture and Congress Center is state of the art, stylish and elegant. Just like the glasses of Liu Jo, the location is unobtrusive and looks attractive when viewed. A little „dolce vita“ and the reverie for Italy were still felt. Because in my mind I was already on my next Italy vacation …

I a wearing the ILLUR 28B by French eyewear maker Naoned. We love how the combination of the tortoise acetate and blue metal make the frame look much smaller then it really is, but still maintains its unique bold design. Its round shape cut out on the top perfectly adapts to faces and offers originality and renewal.
The designers at Naoned have fun mixing colors in a thoughtful way to make our frames some singular and elegant objects. This unisex frame is created with a contemporary vision repeating the iconic design of the Naoned mixed frames. A pinch of color illuminates this vintage shape.
The Naoned Eyewear’s collection is imagined and drawn with the idea to be a technical, esthetical and original frame. Naoned’s (Nantes in Breton) founder “Jean-Philippe Douis” knew the creative path he wanted to take. Being a passionate eyewear designer, he chose to dream about his frame designs before actually drawing and handcrafting them on the soil of Nantes, his land of inspiration. And he secretly added a little but of his own JP personality in each of his models.
Offering a refined collection, the Breton house is proud to anchor its achievements in an identity aesthetic but timeless. Rich in the human closeness she has with the followers of authentic objects, Naoned shapes her glasses with love. An added value that makes all the salt of this brand that will seduce the most demanding.

I am wearing a special laminated frame by Johann von Goisern. This classic, round shape combined with warm, subtle colours creates a well-rounded frame suited for everyone who likes to keep it simple, but still wants to enjoy the benefits of an original Johann von Goisern frame. The special lamination sets eye-catching highlights and completes this frame with unique design, developed and manufactured with strict quality standards in Bad Goisern, Austria.
From design to shipping – everything happens at their location in Bad Goisern. They draw inspiration from the surrounding nature and wildlife and love our products. This results in breathtaking designs and colour-combinations. Diligence and precision lead every frame from material cutting to finishing. The quality and authenticity of every frame is guaranteed by the certificate-number, which is part of every Johann von Goisern case.
Every craft shop needs machines, and as a company founded by a mechanical builder, they are always open for new technologies. Innovation allows them to realise ideas which would otherwise be impossible – they won’t let insufficient tools limit our creativity. Although there have been many innovations and changes over the years, one aspect about JvG always stayed the same: “Johann von Goisern” still stands for highest quality and exceptional design, manufactured in Bad Goisern.
To this day, the brand and its products live and breathe the creativity and ideas of its inventor Johann Pomberger. The company is still firmly grounded on the values of its founder Johann: Relocating or even moving to another country is completely out of question.

Jung. Innovativ. Individuell. Tauchen wir ein in die Welt von You Mawo, das soviel bedeutet wie „Your Magical World“. Jeder Ort, jeder Platz, jedes Tier und jede Person ist individuell, wieso sind es dann unsere Brillen nicht? Diese Frage haben sich die Gründer vor Jahren in Thailand gestellt. Sechs Jahre später ist You Mawo bereits eine der bekanntesten Brillenmarken im Bereich von maßgefertigten 3D Druck Brillen basierend auf einem Scan made in Germany. Aber was bedeutet nun individuell oder maßgefertigt bei den Brillen?
Am Anfang erfolgt die Auswahl der Brillenmodelle, die aus den Kollektionen Classic, Air und Sun gewählt werden können. Nach dem Probieren der verschiedenen Brillenmodelle, habe ich mich für das Modell You Mawo – Bomi Air (Bild 2) entschieden.
//english
Young. Innovative. Individually. Step into the world of You Mawo, which means „Your Magical World“. Every place, every space, every animal and every person is individual, why aren’t our glasses individual? This question was asked by the founders in Thailand years ago. Six years later, You Mawo is already one of the most well-known eyewear brands in the field of custom-made 3D printing glasses based on a scan made in Germany. But what’s the meaning of individually or custom-made in terms of eyewear?
In the beginning you will have a selection of eyewear models. You can choose from the collections Classic, Air and Sun. After trying out the different eyewear models, I opted for the model You Mawo – Bomi Air (picture 2).
Hat man seinen Favoriten gefunden, wird das Gesicht des Brillenträgers genauestens gescannt und alle Daten im System gespeichert. Im Anschluss wird die bevorzugte Farbe für die Brille gewählt. Für mich wollte ich die Bomi Air in schwarz und auch die Stegbreite sollte verändert werden. Danach folgt der Schritt der Fertigung der individuellen You Mawo Brille, die mit dem 3D Druck Verfahren, einer der fortschrittlichsten Technologien produziert wird.
//If you have found your favorite, your face will be scanned accurately and all data stored in the system. Afterwards you can choose the preferred color for your glasses. I wanted the Bomi Air in the color black and also the bridge width should be changed slightly. Afterwards the process of making the individual You Mawo glasses take place, which is produced by using the 3D printing process, one of the most advanced technologies.
Nach der Produktion erfolgt der Versand an ausschließlich ausgewählte Optiker, wie zum Beispiel Bitsche Augenoptik & Hörakustik in Bludenz, Österreich. Die Lieferzeit der Brille beträgt ca. 15 Arbeitstage. Aber soviel kann ich schon verraten: Die Wartezeit lohnt sich!
//After production, the shipment will be made exclusively to selected opticians, such as Bitsche Augenoptik & Hörakustik in Bludenz, Austria. The delivery time of the glasses is about 15 working days. But I already can tell you: the wait is worthwhile!
Das große Plus zusätzlich zur Individualität der Brille ist, dass jeder Kunde eine Zufriedenheitsgarantie auf die Passgenauigkeit seiner maßgefertigten Brille erhält. Mit Begeisterung habe ich meine individuelle Brille probiert und über das kleine Add-on, meine persönliche Gravur „FACEPRINT“, habe ich mich besonders gefreut.
//The big plus in addition to the individuality of the glasses is that every customer gets a satisfaction guarantee on the fit accuracy of his customized glasses. With enthusiasm I tried my individual frame and I was especially happy about the little add-on, my personal engraving „FACEPRINT“.
Im besten Fall wurde im Vorhinein auch schon die Refraktion (Sehstärkenmessung) und die Glasberatung vom Optiker durchgeführt. Somit kann garantiert werden, dass die Gläser in der Werkstatt bereits in die Brille eingeschliffen wurden und der Kunde die Brille komplett fertig mitnehmen kann.
//In the best case, the refraction (vision measurement) and the glass advice were already carried out in advance by the optician. Thus, it can be guaranteed that the glasses were already ground in the frame at the workshop and the customer can take home the finished glasses.
Es ist spannend zu sehen, welche Möglichkeiten und Veränderungen bei einer individuellen Brille angeboten werden können. Aus diesem Grund empfehle ich euch auch mal selbst in die „magical world“ einzutauchen. Überlegt euch eure Präferenzen für eine Brille und sucht einen You Mawo Optiker um die perfekte Brille fertigen zu lassen. Falls ihr noch mehr über die einzelnen und auch technischen Schritte erfahren möchtet, klickt einfach hier.
Ich trage meine maßgefertigte You Mawo Brille nun schon seit einiger Zeit und kann bestätigen, dass der Tragekomfort und die Leichtigkeit der Brille unschlagbar sind. Aufsetzen, Wohlfühlen und Komplimente einfangen. Diese Situation erlebe ich derzeit ständig mit dieser Brille und das macht natürlich richtig Spaß.
//It is exciting to see which possibilities and changes can be offered with individual glasses. For this reason, I also recommend you to immerse yourself in the „magical world“. Think about your eyewear preferences and look for a You Mawo optician to make the perfect glasses for you. If you want to learn more about the individual and technical steps, just click here.
I am wearing my individual You Mawo frame since a while now and can confirm that the comfort and lightness of the glasses are unbeatable. Put on, feel good and catch compliments. At the moment I am constantly experiencing this situation with these glasses and that is of course a good experience.
Ich möchte an dieser Stelle noch ein wichtiges Programm von You Mawo hervorheben. YOUMAWO CARES ist eine Initiative von You Mawo, bei denen sie Familien helfen, in welchen das Down-Syndrom oder Autismus auftreten und deswegen keine passenden Brillen finden können. In diesen Fällen reduziert You Mawo den Verkaufspreis der Brille auf 1 EUR (aus rechtlichen Gründen, können die Brillen nicht komplett verschenkt werden). Eine wirklich tolle Sache! Also gerne weitererzählen…
//I would like to highlight an important program by You Mawo at this point. YOUMAWO CARES is an initiative of You Mawo that helps families who have Down syndrome or autism and can not find suitable eyewear. In these cases, You Mawo reduces the retail price of the glasses to 1 EUR (for legal reasons, the glasses can not be completely given away for free). A really great thing! So tell others …

I am wearing a slightly elongated yet sinuously shaped frame by BLACKFIN, which comes in a sophisticated array of colors. The brand’s techno-glamour concept is exemplified in this vintage-inspired frame, where the bas-relief workmanship is accentuated by the contrasting color palette.
Three gradations of color – from powder pink, to lilac, to fuchsia – silhouette the cat-eye contour, in a celebration of artisan craftsmanship taken to a whole new level when applied to a highly innovative production technique. Reminiscent of its retro shape, the model name “Cape May: is a tribute to the early post-war bourgeois elegance embodied in the understated charm of American ladies vacationing along the New Jersey shoreline.
The Spring 2019 collection displays the total Blackfin aesthetic vision in which the sophisticated mood of the new communications campaign and the new stand for Mido are faithfully reflected in its design.
Such stylistic maturity is intended to mark an essential stage, rather than the finishing point, in the identity- building journey undertaken by the brand, in other words a milestone in its history. Titanium, always the distinctive feature of Blackfin eyewear, remains the element to be moulded and the page on which a new chapter in this authentic Italian story is written. New frames expressing the essence of Blackfin, free from the stereotypes of fashion and passing trends.
This natural consciousness translates into a collection with well-defined lines and original colour effects, a combination of hi-tech know-how and glamour, capable of celebrating every aspect of a piece of eyewear, the signature of this company’s sense of elegance and flair for innovation.
There are those who follow the paths traced by others and those who break new ground. BLACKFIN design embodies the style of those who are always on the forefront, giving them a contemporary and cutting-edge image. BLACKFIN is driven by an innate desire to always look ahead and a deep awareness of their skills. This is why their products are the direct reflection of their abilities: the ability to perform a truly unique work and the attention to every single construction detail. Titanium and every single characteristic of it that’s what they know perfectly well; that’s their material; and that is why they are able to form it like no one else and why they succeed in combining it with a truly advanced design.
