This is Ina, which first appeared in 1964. An unusual name, you
might think. That's because it is borrowed from the German model,
Ina Balke, who not only was B&L's top model in the early 1960s,
but was also the
'Miss Beauty in Glasses, 1963'. We wonder why
Ina didn't model this frame, then? Not to worry, it stands on its own.
B&L described, "...its natural beauty is based on the ideally feminine
oval face". Oh, that's why. Ina Balke's face certainly isn't oval.
They go on, "Ina flatters a woman's softness (!) with its own
curved planes and avoids flat two-dimensional surfaces.
(Exclamation marks, klasik's own.) "Sleek endpiece contours and
soft colours....accent upswept lashes and widen the eyes. The total
effect is youthful but not immature, slender but not faddish, classic
but not conventional. Ina's classic beauty....fits in anywhere."
Phew - they went on more than us! All we would add is, timeless.
Oh, and that it came is five colourways, this is the Demi-Brown,
a solid colour, the one in the catalogue shown in the link above is
the two-tone, Mink Shadow.
