Hot from J.F. Rey: Star Era Sunglasses for Modern Icons
Times move on, but icons? They stick around, making their mark. This fall, J.F. Rey is carving out its own dazzling eyeprint on the constantly shifting fashion map with the Star Era Modern Icons collection of sunglasses. Oversized and gloss-drenched, chunky and cheeky, retro-futuristic in the most geometric of senses, the new frames are so addictively fabulous they might as well come with a warning label. Are you ready to bring out the Modern Icon in you? Take your stunning pick and prepare to shine!
BIANCA: Sculpted Acetate Splendor
The dusky jewel of J.F. Rey's new collection
Uncompromising in size and geometry, the BIANCA grabs attention from every angle. Its smooth acetate frame, finished entirely by hand, boasts a unique faceted texture for a bold, dimensional edge. Massive, hollow-sculpted temples add a touch of J.F. Rey's signature cool, catching the light in all the right ways. The translucent gradients shift and shimmer, creating a hypnotic dance across your face that half-shades, half-frames it with an immersive, otherworldly glow. Equally striking in the brightest sun and the shadowy magic of night, the BIANCA leaves a trail of awe and admiration wherever your 24/7 takes you.
BRYNN: Shimmery Mix with a Disco Twist
Check out the note-shaped temple accent!
The BRYNN isn't here to quietly sit on your face—these shades are made to steal the scene. Boldly sculpted from a fine mix of acetate and metal, they showcase some daring geometry and palettes that go all the way from flat-toned minimalism to mesmerizing opulence. Lucid gradients, shifting fusion scales, and subtle sparkly touches come together for a statement that's hard to ignore. But the real cherry on top? That musical note-shaped, satin-finish metal accent draping across the temples, striking just the right haute chord. Fearless, fabulous, and J.F. Rey to the core, the BRYNN invites you to turn up the volume and wear your style out loud.
BRIDGET: New Angle on Retro Round
With J.F. Rey, a circle is anything but just round
With its sleek curves and marble-like finish, the BRIDGET flows smooth and steady—until that sharp, angular cut-out in the corner of its perfectly round lens. Giving the frame a sudden geometric wingspan, it sweeps your gaze toward the wide, tapered temples, where the core wire glows ethereally through the translucent acetate. This dynamic is amplified with a catchy metal accent that wraps around the lens, adding a bit of bounce and movement, echoed by two subtle dashes on the temples. Being all about contrasts yet somehow effortlessly cohesive, the BRIDGET wraps you in charm, dare, and just a sprinkle of mischief.
J.F. Rey Male Styles: From Cyber Suave to Raw Techno
Out of the disco and into the future
Male styles in Star Era Modern Icons deliver radical boldness through some stunning frame architecture. Whether it’s the techno-heavy, cyber-chic aesthetic of BRYAN or the space-sleek, hyper-streamlined elegance of BRUCE, topped by a colored aluminum bar for a hint of flair, these designs surpass everything you thought possible in acetate. Characteristics follow suit. The frames are reinforced for extra durability, while the ultra-resistant lenses, optimized for peak performance, guarantee sharp, glare- and scratch-free vision, no matter the conditions. Suave clubbers thriving in the neon glow and urban explorers transitioning from sunlit rooftops to murky underground will be equally pleased with the style-to-function ratio the new J.F. Rey shades for men bring to the table.
Iconic J.F. Rey Quality Afresh
Lots of shimmer, lots of glamor, lots of edge (literal, too)
- PREMIUM ACETATE: The latest J.F. Rey designs are painstakingly handcrafted from top-quality cellulose acetate, renowned for its light weight and durable properties. This premium material offers exceptional flexibility, allowing the frames to retain their shape over time, all while providing a silk-like fit. Bringing out the entire shimmering vibrancy of the Modern Icons palette and lending it a royal-like velvety touch, J.F. Rey's acetate is a choice that's both eye- and skin-friendly (actually, make it three: eco-friendly as well).
- POLARIZED NYLON LENSES: All Star Era sunglasses come with polarized nylon lenses for crystal clarity and sharper contrasts. Lightweight and incredibly strong, nylon ensures that your lenses remain crack- and scratch-free while being easy to wear. The polarization process effectively blocks harmful UV rays while also reducing glare and maintaining pristine visibility. Because why just look good when you can see good too?
- FLEX HINGE: There can be no second-priority details when it comes to crafting the perfect sunglasses. Knowing that, J.F. Rey fits the new Modern Icons collection with its patented flex hinges for personalized comfort and extra strength. Unlike traditional hinges, they allow for a greater range of motion, enabling the temples to adjust more easily to any head shape. This flexibility minimizes the risk of frame breakage, making the glasses more resilient over time. Looking sleek and moving smoothly, flex hinges keep J.F. Rey frames more wearable than ever.
Every facet counts, every detail matters—the J.F. Rey way
- ERGOFEEL NOSE PADS: Designed to cater to the unique shape of each nose, J.F. Rey's super soft, hypoallergenic nose pads allow you to find the perfect fit for daily wear and tear. This thoughtful design element ensures that the glasses stay securely in place, even if you don't. Seamlessly integrated into the frame design, the ERGOFEEL pads help distribute weight evenly across the bridge—goodbye, nasty pressure points, hello, all-day comfort.
