Face A Face
FACE A FACE is a French brand launched by two eyewear admirers, Nadine Roth and Pascal Jaulent. Following Pascal’s point of view, he wanted to create a company that would manufacture frames to fit the personality, flair, and character of its wearers. Jaulent always loved design, and his career started from urban planning, where he applied his creative skills in architecture. Then he worked as General Manager at Lunettes Lafont Paris where he dove fully into the world of fashionable eyewear and learned all the aspects of glasses design. In 1995, he partnered with Nadine, and they worked together in a design group of their new brand, creating new shapes, matching colors, and choosing textures for stunning eyewear collections.
Just as an experienced architect, the company plays with materials, volumes, and tones to add individual style to each wearer with an excellent pair of glasses. Oriented to quality and fashion, the brand quickly became popular for its bold and sophisticated frames made for people who always want to make a statement. To select a stylish pair of distinctive glasses, we invite you to stop by one of our two boutiques in Manhattan, New York located on the Upper West Side (280 Columbus Ave) and Upper East Side (1249 3rd Ave) and discover a wonderful assortment of impressive frames. Being an official retailer of the famous French company in Manhattan, New York, we offer only original FACE A FACE frames.
The best is not mass production. That’s why since its inception, the company has created premium quality eyewear that demands attention and makes you stand out from the rest of look-alikes. Depending on the expertise required, all FACE A FACE frames are crafted in France, Japan, or Italy, while the design team remains based in Paris. All collections of the brand draw inspiration from architecture, modern art, contemporary design and fashion trends. Every single collection by FACE A FACE is an artful combination of premium materials, unique shapes, and vibrant colors, striking a perfect balance between quality, design and function.
Offering the best in sun protection and optical care, FACE A FACE has established itself as a go-to destination for innovative and stylish sunglasses and optical frames that are described as “far from simple.” Each and every piece is personally designed and tested by the brand’s team to ensure that the final product meets strict quality requirements, looks great, and feels like it was made just for you. Catering to the needs and desires of the most discerning customers, FACE A FACE frames are designed with an eye for innovation and commitment to excellence in every detail.

History
FACE A FACE was founded in 1995 by Pascal Jaulent and his partner Nadine Roth as a French eyewear brand based on creativity and contemporaneity with no compromise on design and quality. Pascal, with his great passion for ethology as well as social and human issues, dreamed of being an urban planner. He studied at the Paris Management School and got a job in the financial departments of well-known companies – Nestlé and Dior – before his wish to work in a smaller team came true in Lunettes Lafont Paris, where he became a General Manager.
Audacious, contemporary, creative, independent, and seductive glasses by FACE A FACE are inspired by fashion, modern design, and architecture, revealing every personality and expressing their unique style. There’s no doubt that every frame was inspired and created with unique people in mind. That’s why every model by FACE A FACE, no matter its shape or style, is unique and totally different from the pack. In 2014, FACE A FACE became part of the Design Eyewear Group with a head office in Aarhus, Denmark, while Jaulent became the Chief Creative Officer for all brands in the group.
