Now I can tell these glasses are good, but I've no idea who they're by. I love the way the acetate material appears to be more reflective than the lenses. Great photo thanks to Jérôme Chalansonnet . Think you know who they're by? Let me know...
What is that in the bridge? Bling bindi ? Found this picture of Louis Vuitton sunglasses by André-Batista and am intrigued by the bridge detail, although I can't quite make it out. Also like the 1980s flattened frint with what appears to be an all...
There was me doing a top 5 of all things Swiss , missing out Freitag , those guys who - any day of the week - make bags and accessories from truck taupaulin but make it sehr cool. Now they've teamed up with German specsters IC! Berlin to create one...
Carrera sunglasses , from the 1980s, astonishingly took until March this year to be blessed with a relaunch. What took them so long? Great picture above, thanks to Thierry Perre . More of his Carrera sunglass pictures are here If you want more of an idea...
5 Yodeling... It's pretty amazing. I went to see Morrissey last week. He kind of yodels a little here and there, but nothing like the Swiss. 4 Army knives... I'm off camping next month. Am I fretting about all the things I might need? No, for...
A classic Alain Mikli look. Read More...
Italian eyewear designer Ricardo Polinelli launched Polinelli Occhiali in the late 1970s . This looks like a vintage pair from around that time, perhaps 1980s . I love the octagonal corners. With thanks to Thomas Angermann for the picture. He bought them...
... in Cannes in May. Have had these terrific Face à Face Rocks1 sunglasses up my sleeve for a while and thought the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's Jewish revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds in London last night a good opportunity to share them...
I've always loved the names Mykita give their products - I have a pair of Nils, but I wish they were Winstons! Winston’s lens is egg-shaped, Rodney is squarer. Not to mixed up with Dave . Read More...
Now I'm a fan of Ray-Ban sunglasses as you can probably tell. It has a rich heritage which its owner Luxottica knows full well since it paid Bausch & Lomb US$1.2bn for the brand a decade ago. After buying it, Luxottica decided to take the brand...
I can throw a peanut into the air and catch it my mouth, but apparently that's no big deal... Many of you will have seen this before. Not sure if NeverHideFilms are sponsored by Ray-Ban or if they just love Wayfarers . These are the same guys who...
There was me, lying on the grass in the Horniman Gardens , laughing uncontrollably at suggestions in the newspaper that Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire - the town where I went to school - should be renamed Royal Wootton Bassett ! Parp! Ha! It's always...
One of the problems with starting a blog half way through summer is that I've missed some of the major sunglass launches - I'm playng catch-up. Zanzan is a new British brand (but made in France), extremely exclusive stuff and great build quality...
Anyone who thinks all Oakleys are designs from future, think again. The fashion for Wayfarers and all things 1980s made Oakley resurrect tooling from 25 years ago to spawn a limited edition run of Oakley Frogskins, as worn by Conner above. I love the...
I've no idea who these fantastic white sunglasses are by but I love them. See below for blown-up detail of the brand on the temple - all ideas welcome. With thanks to J Bautista in New York for taking this terrific photo of Reese in Brooklyn. Read...
