EyeWearGlasses

Typical me, typical me, typical me I started something I couldn't Finnish. Glasses pictures are stacking up in my inbox while I find myself trying to complete what I thought would be quite easy: to do consecutive posts on glasses from each of the Scandinavian countries. But now I'm not too sure. Here, Sweden's Oscar Magnuson shows off (top-to-bottom) Astrid, Bliss and Ray demonstrating more key trends for the winter. More big styles, more keyhole nose shapes; lovely coloured crystal acetates. Yesterday we had Iceland . Last week Norway and Denmark . Only Finland to go ... ??? Now one of you must know a Finnish eyewear designer - remember, we only feature the good stuff here.

Continuing our Scandinavian cruise south from yesterday's Moods of Norway we arrive at ProDesign Denmark where the aviator remains a popular glasses shape, as in the 7612, above. As does, you will notice, the keyhole bridge, in all but one of the frames above.

Bloody hell - will you take a look at these RVS by V specs!? Limited edition spectacles from RVS by V - only 100 of these will be made. The contours of this frame are simply stunning - I love the way the frame curves in towards the lens; the matt finish, the gloss inside. Gosh! More on RVS soon... (Eye Wear Glasses' Previous RVS by V post through here)

Great combination of colour from the wooden temples and the tangerine fronts of these Amy Sacks glasses...

Homer Owner of Rims & Goggles Optical Boutique in San Francisco is the first to admit that round glasses are not for everyone, but he adds, "when a man or a woman has the personality and facial structure that can be complimented by wearing round glasses, there will be few things in their wardrobe that are as strikingly individual". Homer has a point, if they suit you they are brilliant. Here we showcase a few from Rims & Goggles' own round collection. Top is Architect in Cardinal Red, next down are the "high-contrast" tortoiseshell Rondo Due frames and finally the not-quite-round Jacqueline in a great crystal purple. R&G's website is well worth an explore as is its niche specialist offshoot, RoundGlasses.com .

Thanks to Adam Gallagher for letting me use this picture of him these great black frames, from 80spurple.com .

It's always good to see the latest from Ralph Vaessen , so here's the latest from his 2011 collection... I love the way the graduated tint on the lenses above are complemented by the changing shade of the horn of the frame. Watch the video for more. More horn...

Will you take a look at these from Mykita ? They're made from a new material, Mylon, (see what they've done there?) which has a myriad properties to get the material scientist in me fondly remembering Young's modulus and the strength of peptide bonds. If it's not a new hinge it's a new material. More on Mykita from Silmo - the big spectacles spectacle in Paris next month. Oh yeah, nearly forgot, they look pretty good too, do they not? They're a collaboration with Romain Kremer . What do we call the side lenses? Is there a proper name?
