Matching the current accessories trend which can be seen in shoes, bags and belts, there are now three new OWP ladies models.
Embossed details on metal and acetate in a croc skin look or as a braided pattern add a three dimensional quality to the glasses and highlight the first class design.
The brand new frames also impress with their colour and concise design.
In 1947, the foundation for the 66-year success story of the internationally renowned eyewear manufacturer was laid. With technical innovations and top class quality, the company and the OWP brand have made a name for themselves in the optical industry, and are today a leading supplier of high-quality spectacle frames and sunglasses represented around the world.This jubilee is a great opportunity for thanking all customers, employees and cooperation partners.
The birthday cake has been cut already by CEO Werner Paletschek at this year's OPTI. More information about the turbulent history of OWP is available in our online anniversary brochure.
OWP held their first ever design contest in 2012. At the beginning of October the winners were chosen from the many entries which came from 27 countries. The eminent jury members included renowned designer Nils Holger Moormann and Stefan Dongus, publisher of Eyewear Magazine. Choosing the winners was by no means an easy task, as all entries were noteworthy.
OWP congratulates all the winners.
First place went to the “Ball-in-Socket Hinge“ concept by Coerte Voorhees from the USA. The glasses are characterised by a sporty aesthetic and new hinge design with a ball in socket hinge which enables them to be light and secure. The frame can withstand the impact of a ball and can also be easily taken apart and put back together. The winner can look forward to a cash prize of 2,000 euros or an internship in the design department of OWP.
The second prize of 1,000 euros went to Zohar Azuz from Israel with his “Bling“ concept. The designer views glasses as masks which express the personality of the individual and as a form of self identification without words. They emphasise the person wearing them whilst, at the same time, offering protection.
Third place of 500 euros went to the “One” concept nby Le NTP from the Netherlands. This offered a more sustainable alternative to standard plastics as the main material namely natural fibre reinforced plastics (NFK), a material which is already being used in the automobile industry and other areas.
We look forward to your visit: Booth G270

Whether stripes or check, floral or paisley, prints can be seen everywhere at the moment and are very popular this season on bags, shoes, clothing and furniture. The more unusual the better!
The three new OWP ladies styles pick up on this trend in different ways: geometric forms in exciting contrasts, wild pattern mixes in bright colours or only as a simple highlight – the taste and style of the wearer decides!
The all-over prints on the side pieces are combined with fashionable frames in acetate or stainless steel resulting in a truly individual and sensational look.
Individuality. Character. Personality. Distinctive style.
They like going against the grain, they prefer the unique, and, above all, possess a strong sense of fashion. The esoteric is better than the trend and style is more important than brands. They are open to all things new and this defines them – the heroes of the big city!
We provide them with their latest accessory – glasses which look retro but are made out of the latest acetate. The Metropolitan collection now includes four new styles and three existing styles in new colours.
As always, various specialty materials havebeen used for the different styles which have been developed and manufactured especially for Metropolitan.
Be bold and show colour!
Metropolitan. Show yourself to the city.

A clear front with a hip, retro touch and totally unconventional temples make a statement in the new Mexx Textile Edition: cool, relaxed, fashionable. The main act is the temples: rubber and fabric. Raw linen for the vintage look, relaxed denim for a more casual style, or a checkered pattern for a smart, preppy look.
Even the matching case makes a statement: covered in denim on the outside, distinct pink on the inside - for real fashionistas!
A display with textile prints is provided for additional sales support.

On a sunny day, a gentle breeze blows, and it seems like the streets of New York, Paris and Milan have turned into the catwalk.
These urban heroes adore their granny bags and boots, hailing directly from the 1960s. A blend of flea-market chic and retro elegance is the hallmark of today's vintage street style.
We provide these trendsetters with their newest accessory: four new models to enhance the current Metropolitan collection.
Metropolitan. Show yourself to the city.
What is the most important accessory of summer? Sunglasses, of course! Not only in Hollywood, or on the biggest international stars – but everywhere, plain and simple.
The new collection from Mexx offers everything on-trend in eyewear for the upcoming summer. Anything goes – so long as it isn't boring!
"Be natural" not only applies to international catwalks, but the latest Mexx collection as well.
Three new plastic models with wooden-look acetate temples and the manually embroidered XX logo create an extraordinary interpretation of the natural look.
Typical Mexx – casual, natural and utterly in trend.
Glasses are in, all the stars are wearing them now. Reason enough to devote the same attention to this accessory as you would to shoes, bags or jewelry. The four sophisticated women's models from OWP, that are exclusively available with fitting necklaces, are very much in trend.
A real eye catcher for the new season of glasses. Using a new kind of technology, the acetate partially encases the unadorned stainless steel temples in decorative patterns, thereby achieving an extraordinary visual appearance. The various three-dimensional temple patterns create elegance with an aura of glamour.
But take note: The necklaces are limited and only available while inventory lasts!
Hip girls and casual guys reinvent themselves everyday. Discreet grey at school, hip trendy colors while chillin' with friends. Following the major success of the Mexx models with interchangeable rubber tips, the new edition for teens has now arrived!
It rocks: stylish and cool at the same time.
They buy clothes at vintage shops. They love their mother's old clutch-purse from the 50’or their pop's retro scarf. They are heroes of individual style, masterfully combining custom-tailored attire with old finds to create the perfect ensemble.
We meet them on the streets of the big city and add the final touch, the icing on the proverbial cake – a sleek and distinguished Metropolitan frame.
These new models are both old-school and cutting-edge, combining retro style with new plastics specifically designed for Metropolitan’s frames.
Sport meets comfort for our new model 8577.

Whether you choose sweet strawberries, tangy lemons or juicy oranges, all you trend-setters and fashionistas out there now get to stroll around sporting tasty fruit accessories.
OWP’s design team has designed a material now being exclusively produced for five new models belonging to the OWP collection. These new models embody style, individuality and a passion for detail.
Stunning creations in acetate lend a distinctive look to the front pieces, temples and temple tips. The first 1,000 frames come with a stylish accessory – a bracelet made of the same exclusive material.
This stylish combination is sure to turn heads in any setting.
The new six models being introduced by Mexx Eyes are anything but run of the mill.
These frames are fresh, with stylish temple features that kids can choose themselves!

Red Dot, one of the most renowned international product competitions, has awarded the 2011 Red Dot seal of quality to Metropolitan by OWP.
Designers and companies from 60 countries entered 4,433 products in the product design category for this year's Red Dot award. Over 1,000 guests in the design industry, society and media celebrated the winners of this prestigious award.
Dr. Peter Zec, the initiator of the Red Dot design award, says of this honor: "As always, our jury cast a very careful eye over the products submitted. Design quality has asserted itself clearly in the judging process, with genuine and new creative solutions also being rewarded. Both of these criteria are not just yardsticks for good design, but also for the potential for success on the market. This potential is increased several times over by the targeted use of our renowned design award."
Our Metropolitan collection evokes urban design with cool, lightweight steel and sleek plastic. Influenced by modern architecture, Metropolitan frames are the new companions for the city spaces in which we live. As the pulse of time beats ever faster, the Metropolitan collection introduces our exclusive Quick Lock technology (patent pending). This new feature allows one-click glazing: elegant yet simple.
OWP is always looking for ways to reinvent the world in which we live -- this is what motivates us. Metropolitan was created for those who live life to the fullest; who do not need to ask what is beautiful, what is right, or what is high quality: they just know it.
