From the studio drawing board, our designers imagine each new frame with a clear purpose in mind: practical glasses that reflect their wearer’s character. Over the course of several decades our Tou-louse atelier has worked towards the creation of frames that forge style with singularity, without forgetting the reality of the object itself.

Since the opening of our first boutique we’ve been careful not to put the glasses before the clients. The questions arise naturally about how the client lives, how they move, which pair will work best, which most closely resembled them?

Thirty years ago, there was a little of revolution. And in many ways, it’s not yet over: our collections have personality, lots of personali-ties, and the ability to accentuate the energies of each individual.

Whichever model comes to mind, our frames have a tonicity, they open they eyes and provide definition. Each concept works towards a balance between the different values that are always to be found in our models: energy, light, material, line, contrast and color.

It’s the mixture of different directions that permits us to finally arrive at such singular concepts.

Let’s turn 2018 into a year where we rise to all challenges, assert ourselves, express ourselves, stand on our own two feet, forge ahead and fulfill our desires. How? Well, by embracing life, why don’t we, and by fearlessly leaping into the unknown. By all means, let’s be curious and, above all, cultivate our penchant for play…

Yes, feeling is everything. Yes, emotions are everything. Intelligence is only relevant when cultivated with optimal sensitivity. The Studio de Création Anne&Valentin is a workshop for research and design where our designers work solo and in teams. Countless opportunities arise there to introduce one another to a favorite piece of music, or leave a book lying around so it will be passed from hand to hand. The Way of the World by Nicolas Bouvier, for example, once little known, now a cult classic, made the rounds of the Studio between June and December 2017. And on our turntable? Nina Simone, whose professional drive and ambition were limitless; also, The Last Shadow Puppets’ latest album; and, over and over, the hypnotic Five Minutes by French band Her. Last summer, we also bathed in the light of David Hockney’s retrospective at the Pompidou Center. Our collec-tions aim to express the wealth and boundless inspiration of certain artists - and what they spark off in us.

How to create original glasses that dress without disguising or be-traying us? By distilling, in each of our frames, the love and interest we bring to the objects and each stage of their manufacture. In the creation phase, our designers approach certain frames the same way one approaches certain people.

“It’s not about getting noticed. It’s about being remarkable”. This is what we remind ourselves every day. Exigency is a state of mind.

What today characterizes the work of Anne&Valentin, more than any-thing else, is expression. The expression of our freedom and indepen-dence, of our values, aesthetic and human first and foremost, as well as the expression of the respect we have for our customers, for their rich, singular personalities, and for their desires… of expression.

The line, the line, the line.

So it began with the concept ALPHA. Glasses made to turn heads, set apart by those famous veneers that we’ve lo-vingly developed towards cult status, that boldly blend two colors on the very same frame.

Dynamic forms, delicate lines and cat eyes.

This line represents the essence of Anne&Valentin, essential frames and strong identities for the discreet yet joyous types.

Our unique and original veneers, Anne&Valentin’s historic trademark, provide unrivalled exclusivity in color and composition.

ALLEGRIA has soft curves nuanced with thick and thin, perfect for medium-sized faces. Absolutely panto, resolutely retro with its key-shaped nose, ALLEGRIA has a happy disposition and lives each day with optimism, open to its myriad of possibilities.

ALMA, a small, classic, feminine, fresh, is a sparkling cat-eye which that occupies a choice position among the House’s essential styles. Easy to slip on the nose for just about any occasion, it is suitable for small faces and fine lines. More subtle than bold, sweet but irresistible, it pleases with simplicity and confidence.

A R I A N E45 □ 22

ARIANE is a cat-eye on trapeze. Nothing less. Its arcades feel like they might be about to take flight. Its upper lines follow the eyelashes. Its classic airs hide strengths full of grace. It joins the historically cool, small frames of the series, with an obvious designer flourish.

AMALIA, with its energetic square and rising lines, manages a 90° turn without losing face. Studious, focused, this frame brings just the right measure of structure, with discreet curves and nuanced thicknesses that arouse curiosity. Be-neath its surface strictness, it’s got the kind of distinct elegance that speaks volumes. Not for fashionistas per se.

ARTY is a unisex, round, Japanese-minded frame with a sense of purity that knows no compromise. Inspired by Harold Lloyd, whose elegance enchanted Hollywood in the 1920s and ‘30s, and by the modern spirit of the Bauhaus, this nonetheless very-feminine frame suits active, engaged and avant-garde types.

ALOE, really round, ever so small, with circumflex accents formed by its arches, at once gentle and sharp. With its angles and mischievous details it’s got a playful, relaxed, sparkling pixie quality under any circumstance, ideal for marvelling, eyes wide open, whenever, forever.

The SYMBOLIQUES, all-titanium right through the temple tips, knows how to use the codes of bygone elegance in order to subvert them. Their highlighted hinges and articu-lations, inspired by retro-vintage, propel the frames of this concept towards the future, with the sense of design dear to Anne&Valentin.

With their deeply aesthetic mechanics, the SYMBOLIQUES models are almost sentimental and, in any case, very en-dearing.

The chiseled models are inspired by the refinement of watchmaking. We think of Delaunay, the kinetic art of Mar-cel Duchamp, precision mechanics, or the cosmic articula-tions of planetary movements.

While the curved end pieces lend dynamic, circular motion, the bridge gives fluidity to the whole. The three dimensions of the object accentuate movement and create contrasts pu-nctuated by colors and materials.

These are archetypal frames, designed for thinkers, explo-rers of ideas, researchers and theoreticians of a deeper daily being. But they also enchant musicians, artists, an-ti-hipsters, asphalt rebels who find here a happy counterpo-int to too-conventional tendencies.

Our made in Japan titanium takes on its full importance in this concept, whose way of transcending ages and eras is quite unprecedented. the SYMBOLIQUES rises to the challenge, seizing a tradition and modernizing it.

BARTHES is the pantos, the one and only, the per-fectly designed, forever retro-at-heart, elegant to the extreme and entirely without fault. Its purity is precious; its balanced proportions grants easy assurance. Poetic, philosophic, modern and so simple you’ll kick yourself. To heaven.

B O U R D I E U48 □ 22

BOURDIEU, the large, light and effortlessly ba-lanced panto that breathes. Academic, poetic and of its time, it seeks the meaning of things, asks a thousand questions, and refuses to stay in place. Patience and curiosity are its scholarly mistresses.

BOETIE, a clever unisex round, that falls just perfectly, seeming to defy gravity. The forward-looking design of these essentially romantic frames evokes old opera glasses, the fitful pas-sions of a Rimbaud or a Baudelaire. With a cus-tomary romantic sigh they step into the eternity, playing tricks on time.

B U R R O U G H S44 □ 22

BURROUGHS is the rock and all around roll of this concept, the frame that defies beliefs and quenches our thirst for new experiences. With its aviator shape, its cutout sections, its raised bridge (obviously), it watches its figure and seeks to shock. Always questioning our preconceived ideas, it plays with past codes while lookin g far, very far, into the future.

BROOKS is a round, a perfect round, a round that sets limits only the better to exceed them. It becomes a slightly oversized round on small faces, and quite sophisticated on wider features. BROOKS, like the texts of American poetess Gwendolyn Brooks, opens our eyes wide, and leaves us open-mouthed. Because We Real Cool.

An acetate piece held between metal structures: the contrasting masses and interplay of three colors achieve objects of great design integrity.

As we researched this concept, the walls of our studio were covered in images of Modernist architecture and design. The inspirations motivated us to give free reign to the possible conversation between function and aesthe-tic. Last but not least, we made sure to give the material a more welcoming, more contemporary than retro touch, using tortoise, marble finishes and audacious gradations. The bold and graphic result is at once demanding, inno-vative and feminine.

Lines passing on and behind the surface give a sense of transverse movement and dense undercurrents. The arches that morph into the temples give both fluidity and structure from front and side.

RECTO VERSO’s presence comes from the regularity and heft of the acetate, from the detail of tight lines and the 1950s coloring. The purity of construction, the assembly of materials and the finishes combine to make them very confident and quite radical frames.

Surprising on stage, exciting behind the scenes, these glasses are arty front and back. Lovers of design, contem-porary art and collector furniture will know to read between the lines. For all others, two words: be bold!

BETTINA, it’s true, has a willful air to her, and a way of structuring the face. She’s serious and busy, and manages projects as well as people - efficiently. And with a smile. Cue the applause.

Refinement, elegance, sobriety... The rules of this club - more Chicago than New York - are tacit, and centered on the desire to share, collaborate and discover the world. A retro revisited series, with distinct angles and remarkable attention to form, CLUB shows off relief temples finished with surprising dynamism.

Emphatic and architectural shapes inspired by the creations of Franck Lloyd Wright are clearly marked with the bold planes.

Dark-ish, rock-n-roll-ish, political songwriter-ish, CLUB re-calls the Beat Generation. The frames are iconic without going over the top, literary without lyricism, and confer to their wearers a sharp and intelligent aura.

One thinks of Kerouac, of course, early Dylan, and the Sixties voices whose great minds and underground poetry explored vast internal and external worlds.

Intimacy, adventure, subtlety. And a lot of inspiration.

DAVIS, like Miles, because this contemporary avia-tor model, gently rectangular, comes with a ’50s be-bop reminiscence. The slight thickness of the keyhole bridge brings a touch, no a statement of subtle asser-tiveness. DAVIS translates the focused expression and seriousness of creative men, whose pioneering spirits are expressed and renewed by exploring the world that surrounds them.

DISTER carries the spirit of a rocking intellectual, in all sobriety and measure. This revisited iconic model, quite structuring, recalls the class of 1950s American men, and will highlight masculine literary types, and movie types, even. Need we name-drop? Think James Dean with his mesmerizing gaze, the ever-so-classy Cary Grant, of course, and Jim Jarmusch, whose za-niness rhymes with his genius.

Its thick, masculine bridge is attenuated by gently rising lines, and carries a confi-dent, sober expression. Intelligent is the new sexy.

DIDDLEY is an angular model, assertive, roomy, and knows how to play with its exaggerated squareness. It is an electric, rock, taut frame, which brings, with exigency, a real energy to wide faces. There is a lot of personality and quirkiness in DIDDLEY, as well as a soft spot for the hard-boiled detective genre: non-chalantly striding across a glistening tarmac at night, or taking in spectacular panoramas in the black and white daylight of Film Noir….

There is much discreet sophistication in this masculine concept that echoes SUN GRAPHIK, its shaded cousin: graphic design, mechanics, flat surfaces, worked combi-nations of materials...

Two planes, interlacing layers, colors and finishes that give rise to warm and unusual contrasts: everything contributes to making these urban and singular objects.

The styles are all constructed from delicate combinations of simple and complementary shapes, which seem to hold as if by magic. With their technical details, their ultra-pre-cise finishes, GRAPHIK frames have a real personality and bring a touch of avant-garde chic, ostentation-free.

Elementary, almost constructivist in spirit, they have a precious side that appeals to modern dandies, deep connoisseurs of material, rarity, technicality and excel-lence. Welcome, Mr Hemingway!

It’s the chameleon of the eyewear world, adapting to all personalities.

Here, the aesthetic is rock, clearly, playing on the fineness of metal and the presence of acetate with parts reminiscent of pick-guard inserts on guitars, and the delicacy of picks coaxing feve-rish notes.

HI-FI concept frames have been imagined for young women with electric intellects, followers of the genderless trend, it-girls who prefer the stage or pit of a concert venue to the catwalks of fashion weeks.

All HI-FI models have a high precision vintage spirit. The lines are light, airy. Their finesse gives them, rather than purely retro, a perfectly contemporary quality. Their tips dress up the metal, and create interruptions of lines like breaks on a track where feedback sizzles at high frequency.

These frames are intended primarily, but without restriction, for a cultured youth, liberated and sharp, for whom rock isn’t a res-tricted movement like electro or grunge, but a sophisticated, ful-ly-fledged culture

GIGACASTER is a taut panto, slightly oversize, well anchored in its era, with fine, precise lines. Its andro-gynous purity reflects a certain cerebral quality, and its technicality offers undeniable detachment. GIGA-CASTER makes no bones about its active synaptic connexions and is nonchalantly cool.

GINICASTER, a genderless panto with an arched double bridge, is the HI FI concept’s model that rocks the most. The eyebrow arch is a direct reference to guitar pickguards, and the quasi-artisanal precision of its details is inspired by the craft of string instrument makers, who also create furiously electric instruments.

Calling Calder. Are you receiving? Yes, the feel here is distinctly Calder, the levity of his sculptures being the di-rect source of inspiration for this concept. Smaller models pay fine homage to the artist’s balancing acts, focusing on contrast: block-color, tubing and laces linking the separate elements all combine for an effect that could be summed up as ‘hyphenated’.

This is graphics so hardcore you could call it punctuation. Frames have presence and poise, offering the illusion of suspension and bubble-effect end pieces. A delicacy in the details belies the frames’ sense of fun. MOBILO demands irony-inflected personalities with strong centers of gravity that thrill at the sight of pure titanium.

Once again, an emphasis on the technical, on color, on games of form and volume. This is an elementary concept, whose on-the-wire weightlessness is underscored by our tra-demark frank tonalities.

«Less is more,” said architect and designer Mies van der Rohe. How do you get back to basics? That is to say, how do you reduce aesthetics by the function of an object in order to extract its essence? By starting from the structure of the frame, by putting forward the framework itself, to reach an essential silhouette.

The choice of titanium, with all of its inherent lightness, allows the purest linear drawing. Titanium mixes with the warmth of acetate, reduced to its minimum as well.

It is the interweaving of materials that gives expressiveness to this resolutely contemporary object, drawing inspiration from Dieter Rams as well. The designer, who revolutionized a number of devices, especially for Braun, gave priority to execution. Lightness and absolute finesse - with the metal embedded inside acetate - and fluidity, purity even, convey the simplicity of an ingeniously executed concept.

The result? Visually surprising frames, reminiscent of the formal stripping and neutrality of Bauhaus, for example. MINIMALIST elevates the object to the status of references. Its frames are suitable for designers, obviously, collectors at heart, looking for timeless, sober, tangible and sure objects. An exception to Anne&Valentin’s cherished rule of Made in France, MINIMALIST are made in Japan, because... Japan makes the best titanium.

Fundamental, slightly oversize, with clean lines and di-gnified shapes, the styles of the all-acetate ON THE DOT concept adapt, free of ostentation, to their wearers and to all situations.

In a short time, ON THE DOT has become one of the core concepts of the brand. Is it because each of these light, fresh and modern frames has been studied to open the eye? Yes it is, and also because our work on their lines has resulted in sober and essential glasses with frames.

Additionally comes the emphatic contrast of mat and bril-liant materials, and the post-polish cutouts that reveal sharp lines. The discreet and efficient curves, too, speak of an engaging optimism.

The temple’s signature rivet comes like a timely and luminous spark. The overall result is elegant, restrained, and the im-peccable lines say neither too much nor too little.

Homage to the Stencil font, of course, whose historic place in typography makes it a prime graphic and artistic inspiration.

Our designers have drawn bold, acetate frames with struc-tured geometries, which use glimpses of transparency to highlight layered plays of material and color.

STENCIL plays with voids and masses, shapes and shades, and depths too, its strong forms both light and structured. It is above all the delineation of color that creates tension and complementarity, giving the concept its full expression.

The contrast between soft lines and very marked breaks gives rise to cheerful, quite singular objects, which punctuate the spirit and enhance the face.

The result is joyous, very warm and particularly playful, with frank colors and intersecting lines that reference American Abstract art, and legendary artist Jasper Johns in particular.

Creating frames both substantial and airy was Anne&Valentin’s challenge. True eyewear lovers will appreciate the result.

A concept that is all off-beat acetate, PLAY IT offers a supple-mentary dimension with double-tenon articulated pivots into which the arms are slotted. These act like punctuation marks added to enrich the discourse.

These frames, expressive, have a strong presence without ta-king over the face. Juxtapositioned materials reinforce arches face on. Colors and complementary tones outbid one ano-ther. With concentrates of joyful, playful, original colors, the potential to please of the PLAY IT concept is undeniable and eminently feminine.

The relationships between solid and empty spaces, straight and rounded lines, optical ties and illusions were conceived to highlight mechanisms. Inspiration comes from the design world, always, with arms freeing themselves from your habi-tual, run-of-the-mill eyewear aesthetics. The hinges are inte-grated, like subtly hidden secrets.

PLAY IT models rest on the key concept of interlocking: joints and hinges, contrasting colors, transparency and opacity. These are objects constructed around the arrangement of their separate parts, with which you want to play, which you ma-nipulate with pleasure, inspiring creativity and good moods.

These effervescent frames make the language of matter re-sonate, explore the sensuality of touch, and are particular-ly suited to people with free and independent personalities. Comfortable and easy, geometrical and surprising, this new concept loves color and leaves no eye cold.

Inspired by the acetate yokes of electric guitars and by the sharp picks that unleash feverish chords, the BAROCK‘N’ROLL series is a return to the roots of the rock-and-roll culture that nurtured early generations of fans and influenced the past five decades with “garage” sounds and ferocious frequency modulations.

A fine line of steel accentuates beveled acetate temples, recalling the strings of a guitar and giving the frames a lighter appearance. The acetate brows are inspired by pick-guards, those protective sheets on the body of the instrument.

Like rock’s new icons, St. Vincent, Anna Calvi, the Black Belles, and their forerunner, PJ Harvey, who rule both on stage and in the studio, the frames are both androgy-nous and very feminine, noteworthy and technically ad-vanced. They are intended primarily (but not exclusively) for today’s cool, cultivated, liberated youth.

Superimposed layers, like transparent Plexiglas, display the frames’ composition with the surprising effect of a delicate relief.

With their pure lines, their angles, their sober faces and sculpted interior volumes, SUNNY CLUB exhibits a refined, feline character of impeccable quality. If these frames stand out, it is through their ele-gance -– masculine – and their cachet – authentic.

All three models rest first and foremost on the crafting of materials. Treatment is architectural, with reliefs barely sof-tened by polishing. The ends of the arms are punctuated with metal inserts – a finishing touch of refinement.

Our designers were inspired by the vision of graphic de-signer Saul Bass, who has notably played a major part in revolutionizing the very concept of film credit sequences, with an enduring impact on the silver screen. SUNNY CLUBS evoke this idea of perennial American chic set in the 1950s, honoring, even paying tribute to creative minds who, clearly, have brought us a new, distinct, identity-sha-ping world vision.

SEYRIG: Quite the classic P3, with flowing en-ergy, layered cutouts and sharp edges… The SEYRIG has a crazy capacity for adaptation and effortlessly adorns a more natural woman in un-complicated chic. It’s a well-designed everyday sunshade, somewhat indie, but not stately so.

SWINTON is an energetic round frame with an octagonal soul, for smaller faces. Lively and even cheeky, the frame’s geometry is emphasized by its layered cut-outs. With its hard-nosed urban glamour, the Swinton gets in everywhere, but re-mains a master of surprise.

SUN GRAPHIK is a sophisticated affair in terms of graphics, mechanism, color blocks and material combinations… These frames are devilishly luxurious, of an avant-garde elegance, but manage somehow to avoid all trace of ostentation.

Two planes, interlocking layers, with colorways and finishes that expose uncommon contrasts and redesigned temples: everything about this concept conspires to deliver urbane and singular objects.

The models are developed from complimentary couples of simple forms interlocked and held, as if by magic. Minimal, with an almost constructivist soul, SUN GRAPHIK belongs to collectors with an eye for materials, rarity, technique and nuances of quality.

SYSTEM : A large retro rectangle that is soft, ele-gant and masculine. This frame instantly conjures James Stewart’s chic and irrepressible charm or Brian Ferry’s dandy nonchalance. Class and ease are the muses of SYSTEM’s lucky wearer.

SANFORD, a timeless panto, elegant and warm, exudes a retro masculine spirit. This is a frame that knows how to dress up a casual wardrobe, with a simplicity that underlines its quiet confidence. Chic, cool, with a certain nonchalance and a front row table at The Blue Note, please, for a memo-rable jazz set, thanks.

SHERMAN, in reinvented pilot mode, is of the in-somniac and iron-willed kind, hanging on in there, foot to the floor, without batting an eyelid. This skull frame, effortless and chic, with its double bar, loves wide features. Even at 5 a.m., it retains a head-on look that conceals a carnal appetite, and undeniable levels of… testosterone.

These models, designed for seasoned travelers, are an in-vitation to discovery, to exploration, and will find an echo among readers, for example, of The Way of the World by Nicolas Bouvier, a favorite text often quoted within the walls of the Anne & Valentin Studio. The complex mechanisms of NOMADES hinges recall those of luxury watch-making, with their gyratory movement and exquisite precision. Thanks to the refinement of their detail, these frames have an unde-niable charm.

The lines of each model of this concept are inspired by insa-tiable personalities, by the curious and intrepid who aspire to travel the world and grasp its essence. In our Creative Studio, during their conception, the evocative names of writer and composer Paul Bowles, as well as photographer and author Peter Beard, could be heard circulating in hushed tones… Protean spirits in effervescence, whose transgressive perspec-tives make light of imposed boundaries.

Everything is in the detail: the astonishing lightness of our made in Japan titanium, the tips of arms adorned with deli-cate resin inserts. At once retro and futurist, NOMADES are anything but nostalgic. What they are is busy and relentless. And they will stop at nothing to keep on pushing back, cea-selessly but without hurry, the horizon line.

SAHARA is a masculine and retro hexagon, with singular characteristics that make it a very special model. With its wild double-bar designed for the whimsical spirits out there, SAHARA makes dust fly as if a pick-up were revving through dunes. Tita-nium and acetate meet, giving the frame a refined, yet lighter-than-air presence.

SANTORIN or the sea crossing. With its high bar like a bridge, this is a frame with a free-minded, festive spirit. Feminine and delicate, but also re-solute and worldly. More partial to cocktails sip-ped on deck and to skinny dipping in crystal-clear waters than venturing off the beaten track on the edge of a jungle. SANTORIN goes to bed late, gets up early, and cracks up the volume without the slightest hint of remorse.

SANTIAGO is a sharp, angular model, both re-tro and freed from the shackles of convention. Proud, taut, SANTIAGO adores small faces, cu-rious minds, and lays claim to unfettered femini-nity. Its double-bridge, its geometric lines and its mechanisms create an incisive and unexpected conversation.

SHIBUYA is huge, rounder than round, with smacks of amusement arcades and zany Art Deco double-deck contours. Ultra-fashionable, resolutely re-tro-futuristic, this frame has a soft spot for grand hotels and their suites, and for cutting-edge desi-gners that scream avant-garde. SHIBUYA reflects the modernity of a world in flux.

And so the generations pass, the one after the other, no two ever quite the same. But common to them all is the taste for beautiful things and a sentimentality for their things. And so it was time, it was about time, and time indeed has come: to our faithful clients and customers, a collection for their little ones. Theirs but not just theirs: for the super-kids, the children, the brats, rugrats and little monsters, those good as gold and the hyperactive, the daydreamers, the class leaders, the brainy ones like the naughty, the preschool pu-nks, minor rockers and little-leaguers, the budding artists as the future traders! The kids, if you will (or do)…

Done. And here goes... A first raft of fun little acetate frames: simple, pop-tastic and above all, durable, with all important flexible hinges. Forever made-in-France, forever made-with-love.

MARCIA is all about slamming doors, slim jeans, loose t-shirts, unassuming BFFs, witty pals and stirring emojis. Between classes, she dances, dances, dances, she runs like the wind. Word has it that, from time to time – shhhh – MARCIA likes to keep little secrets from her parents.

MARTY’s the frame for asphalt kings who dream of playing in the big leagues. The small round will suit the violin players as much as the hip- hop aficionados. MARTY is multi-purpose, just intelli-gent enough, and knows how to skillfully elbow its way to its goals.

MINGUS’ perfect round is ideal for aspiring wi-zards and sweet witches. At the ready for spells and potions, invisible ink and magic rituals! Otherwise it’s a good bet for bookworms and comic-fiends.

MARIUS is for the little rockers and the punkettes, the ones that are phased by strictly nothing. Yeah, them. MARIUS goes out to the ones with a glint in the eye, who wasted no time pawning teddy for a guitar, rushing headlong into life, into school, into their lunchbox, and yes, even into the arms of Mom and Dad!
