If you love glasses with personality (not the same frames you see everywhere), you’re going to adore this launch. We’re excited to introduce Anne & Valentin at Eyediology Styling Opticians and Blackheath Eyecare – a French brand known for bold graphic lines, expressive colour and frames that dress you without disguising you.
Who are Anne & Valentin?
Anne & Valentin began with the “wild dream” of two opticians in Toulouse searching for unique glasses with striking graphic lines. Their design approach is rooted in expression, independence and respect for individual style – frames that feel remarkable, but still wearable.
They’re deeply involved in each stage of making their glasses, and their creative studio is all about line and colour – the two things that can completely change how a frame feels on your face.
What makes the brand special (and why we chose it)
Here’s why Anne & Valentin is such a perfect match for our styling-led approach:
- Expressive design – strong shapes and graphic details that feel intentional
- Colour that’s wearable – bold, but beautifully balanced on the face
- Designed for real people – frames that enhance your features rather than overpower them
- Craft and commitment – long-standing manufacturing relationships and a clear quality mindset
Why Anne & Valentin works so well with Eyediology’s Eye Styling Sessions
Anne & Valentin is one of those brands that truly comes alive when you try it on properly. Their frames are designed with real intention – not just colour for the sake of it, but colour placement, shape and proportion that can completely change how a frame sits on the face and how it makes your features look.
That is exactly why they pair so beautifully with Eyediology’s Eye Styling sessions. During styling, we look at things like:
- Shape and balance – whether you want to soften, sharpen or add contrast to your features
- Dimensions and fit – lens width, bridge fit and how the frame sits through the brow line and cheek line
- Colour and tone – choosing colours that lift your skin, bring out your eyes and feel like you
- Personality level – from subtle and polished to bold and expressive
Anne & Valentin gives us a brilliant playground of options because the collections are full of thoughtful shapes and confident colour combinations – so we can find a pair that feels exciting, but still totally wearable for your day-to-day life.
