I love this Flat Top design by RetroSuperFuture . It's a couple of years old but these sunglasses perfectly combine the classic styles of the 50s with the modern lines of the 80s - through that flat, straight brow. Almost as good as the Luciano ,...
People occasionally comment on my bold eyewear... These astonishing Alain Mikli A0109-04 sunglasses during our fun at last week's Orgreen do at the Eye Company - they're limited edition Miklis but reminded of those Devo glasses from the 80s ,...
Optical Affairs was launched in 1984 by Eric Domege and Christian Roth. Still going strong under the name Christian Roth , the pair are celebrating their 25th anniversary with the release of 80s-style sunglasses... the Series A, model 14305. (Photo: René...
My friend James recently bought a decent pair of vintage Ray-Ban aviators. The 1980s shades, then made by Bausch & Lomb (which would later concentrate on contact lenses (boo!)), have glass not plastic lenses, giving them a weighty quality. I hadn't...
Found two great new blogs tonight - new to me anyway. The first is Vintage Frames Company which I'll be having a thoroughly good look through soon, and the second - which Dr Shapiro at the VFC put me on to - is ZONE7STYLE , "the UK's leading...
Hats off to Lis in the Buddka . Styletastic. Anyone who's hung around opticians a little will have seen the dummy lenses that they use to show off the different colours available should you fancy some presciption sunnies. Next time, you see two that...

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...
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...
After yesterday's 1980s-fest in the shape of La Roux's eyewear, I bring you some 80s-ish eyewear in, well, just about any shape you like. Sometimes the web, fashion, marketing and eyewear meet in the strangest of ways. All this began BEWG, before...
La Roux 's Elly Jackson in sunglasses, Elly Jackson in glasses, Elly Jackson in more sunglasses. And not just I'm a celebrity, I'm gonna wear shades to hide from fans and photographers. No, proper eyewear style. Elly Jackson is one half of...
Thanks to Zoolette Des Bois for this image of some as yet unidentified sunglasses. Do you know who they're by? I love the 80s-influenced random lines of colour - c'est tres bien! Read More...
