History
The celebrated French House J.F. REY is an independent design company of high-end sunglasses and optical frames that was founded in 1995 by Joëlle and Jean-François Rey, who have shared their passion for stylish eyewear since they met each other. The company was built on new ideas, enthusiasm, creative freedom and technical know-how. As the brand’s Art Director, Joëlle quickly discovered her personal style masterfully blending acetate and colors with modern style and sophistication. Almost immediately after launching his namesake brand, Jean-François began a long and successful line of collaborations with the world-famous fashion houses, including Issey Miyake and Marithé François Girbaud. Those eyewear campaigns took over fashion runways by storm with their chic and extravagant designs.
Over the years, the House's design team has become absolute experts in mixing metal, aluminum, acetate, titanium, leather and rich colorways. The wood and carbon alliance also found its place in the J.F. REY eyewear collections. The designers still continue to discover new materials joining them together, all the while breaking established codes on both a creative and technical level. This is how new stunning combinations and exciting possibilities are always created. Today, the House includes four successful sub-brands, each marked by its own style and brand identity. The courage to overcome boundaries, try new things, take risks by disrupting conventions – this is why J.F. REY is scored big among eyewear aficionados and makes it stand out from the rest.
