The New Skin of Colours Collection from OKIA

Let the animal out in you and inspire your look.

Animal prints are one of the hottest fashion trends ever and keep on inspiring OKIA designers. The new “Skin of Colours” collection offers an unexpected combination of animal patterns and brilliant colours, expressly conceived for the most demanding and stylish women. Peacock, leopard, crocodile, giraffe and snake – animals embodying pure seduction, charm and elegance – are just some of the proposed concepts.

The animal patterns are realized on the frames’ temples by means of both HDA® Technology and BMT (Beautiful Metallic Touch) technique, a special application which allows ultra-sharp cutting for all patterns and gives them an illuminated metallic effect. In addition, the use of SY technique makes even the tiniest detail perfect, combining innovation and quality into pure luxury.

Essilor Reports 12% Revenue Growth in 2014

With revenue up 12% and operations up 15.4%, Essilor maintained its growth in 2014.

Forty-five percent of the French giant’s revenue came from North America. Growth in Canada was supported by Varilux, Crizal, Transitions and Xperio, the impact of the “perfect pair” offer and the company’s widening presence in the mass retailing channel. The introduction of Kodak lenses and the partnership with Riverside Optical labs contributed to expansion in the mid-tier.

Looking beyond the figures, 2014 marked a strategic shift at Essilor.  CEO Hubert Sagnières calls the group’s desire to expand its playing field, namely in photochromics, sunwear and online business, a true “cultural revolution.” This strategy was embodied in the acquisitions of Transitions Optical, Coastal.com and Costa, as well as in its collaborative effort with FGX International in a sunglass offering.
