What makes this design different or better?
This is a new concept of Eyewear Fashion based on piercing. No need for temples tips or frame, just adjust distances in your piercing. You can dismount every piece of the glasses and keep it all in a good case or if you want you can only keep the lens and wear your piercing normally. To dismount the lens, which are made of a sinthetic light material, you only have to easily take the conic head of the piercings and after that you can even choose one of the two lens with different colour that you have in the case, depending of the atmosphere your living at the moment. There is a thin black rubber bridge that fix the two independent lens and each lens have two metallic round pieces also wrapped in black rubber that allows to fix into the metallic piercing pieces. There are also two little adjustable metallic arms fixed at the lens with the objective of supporting the lens on the nose piercings. This little arms are also adjustable for keep the lens in the case. The whole part of lens and rubber are thin and flexible to be light and confortable to the user. Today we can see that piercing users are increasing and we can see even more and more different kind of people wearing it. Today maybe is strange for some people, but tomorrow we will see as a normal Fashion wear.

Judges commentary:
Gareth: I liked the idea of making utilitarian use (eyeglass holders) out of usually pure adornment (eyebrow piercings). Very cyberpunk.

Alberto: A bold way of underlining the increasingly transparent relationship of technology as an extension of our selves.

Ayse: Finally a good reason to have piercings on the brow and nostrils.
