prada POP.

Love the elaborate colours and detail in Prada's Spring/Summer 2011 eyewear. Whether these models make it into production remains to be seen.

clip on.

Gotta love the old school clip on sunglasses. They seem to be having a bit of a resurgence lately- I've seen them in high and low end collections, my favourite being from Barton Perreira.

additions.

Two of the latest additions to my own sunglass collection. The Tom Ford Campbell in tortoise shell and the Anne et Valentin (more on them later) Solo in tortoise shell and nude pink. And while I don't really need to wear glasses, all the amazing new optical stock coming into work from Anne et Valentin is making me want to.

round.

There's nothing wrong with round. A little fashion inspiration for the key eyewear trend of the moment- retro round.

lets be frank.

Not only is actor James Franco immensely talented (and not bad looking), he has some nice eyewear taste. I love this polaroid of James from the Band of Outsiders look book wearing a pair of vintage Ray Ban's.

whiteout & glare.

 

 

Classic shapes, made with beautiful acetate and titananium, Whiteout & Glare's new optical collection is worth looking into. Hailing from Germany, the label is all about pure craftsman ship and purpose built materials. Hard wearing and timeless, Whiteout & Glare has been picked up by Australian wholesaler Luxol, so expect to see it around soon.
