Safilo celebrates 75 years with carnival of vintage

It's that time of the year when the manufacturers preview their Spring/Summer collections so it was off to Holborn for Safilo's turn today. Along with an riot of colour and decals were a raft of vintage shapes -- and not just from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

The Georgio Armani collection had some fantastic frames conjuring up the era of 1930s black and white Hollywood glamour. A real breath of fresh air for someone who grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s and is quite happy to consign its styling to history.

Having said that there were some really nice frames on show with cateyes and big eye sizes continuing to dominate.
