With thanks to Yav Yavanovitch who took this is at the Techno Parade in Paris. A seriously cool look.
Since I began all this, I freely admit that I am biased, verging on the sycophantic, when it comes to what I do and do not like. These, however, my friends are well-made shit; stupid and a waste of everyone's time. Please someone explain to me the point of Jeremy Scott's Mickey Mouse sunglasses (and remember I like round, classic, acetates etc). ?
Not real chocolate, that would not be good on a hot day. No, Super has teamed up with skateboard brand Chocolate to create these limited editions, in celebration of Chocolate's 15-year anniversary. A total of 333 are available, complete with high-quality Zeiss lenses.
These Porsche Design vintage shades are great/strange! With thanks to M sunglasses collection
Watch maker Vestal launches a sunglass range next week: Vestal Vision. Top to bottom: St Jane, Westerlies and Himalayas.
I don't mean this to become a theme. Everybody knows that sex sells (Tom Ford Eyewear ads are testament to that). Imagine my surprise yesterday morning as I settled down with a coffee and a copy of the Metro on a London train when I spotted a picture of a man, kneeling on a runway at Berlin fashion week, completely starkers except for some black tape around his eyes, wrists and body. "Designer
Wooden glasses have once, last year, carved their way on to Eye Wear Glasses before in the shape of Shoulda. And clever hinges get me as excited as a kid swinging on a gate, so imagine my delight upon discovering Rolf Spectacles. Great, aren't they? Handmade, extremly lightweight. Above is Taunus, below Eliott Salloon, both made of walnut. Next a little detail showing the curve and the hinge
Billionaire Boys Club has launched these terrific Series 8 sunglasses, available in tortoiseshell, red and red/silver. This is the best looking tortoiseshell effect I've seen in a while...
In September I posted about the nudity in Tom Ford eyewear campaign and here's a little more. Not your average hairdresser. While on the Tom Ford topic, does anyone know who Colin Firth's glasses are by in Ford's film A Single Man?
L.G.R is a new brand for me, and what I've seen so far is mighty impressive. Here LGR collaborates with Antonio Marras for in a 2010 women's collection inspired by Africa and the colours of the desert. The lens-frame contrast reminds me a little of my find in Antarctica a week or two back. Handmade in Italy and like all LGR sunglasses, the lenses are made of anti-reflective, anti-scratch,
These green sunglasses, featured in the 2010 Prada advertising campaign, are terrific. I don't know a model number, however - sorry. Will update when I do. Thanks to Paper Bag.
For every film where I don't know the leading role's eyewear, there's another where I do. These are Face à Face glasses called Woody. The film in question is The Book of Eli, and these are worn by Gary Oldman... note the classic colour on the inside of the frame, and the slightly exaggerated corners. And if you want to know what Denzil Washington (strictly the lead) is wearing in the Eli film
All I know is that Colin Firth's glasses in Tom Ford's A Single Man, are not Tom Ford Eyewear. Sunglasses Onstage suggests they're mid-20th-century vintage and I'd agree as the closest I've seen to these were in the top-notch quality vintage drawers at the Eye Company in Soho, London. It certainly provides spectacles for TV and film, so possibly? But then Barton Perreira do something
British artist Stanley Donwood (he who does Radiohead album covers among many other things) has collaborated with Oakley to create these exciting Jupiter sunglasses.
