Eyewear

[xadam]

What eyewear do folks on this board like?

I'm fond of LA Eyeworks and Face a Face frames. In New York, I've found the salepeople at Artsee to be very helpful.

(When will Carol start a line of glasses?)

Re: eyewear

I like Yohji Yamamoto's offerings. They are always very well made (metal), classic shapes, and he makes about 5-6 pair for the entire North American market. I have a pair, my wife has a pair - both awesome. You can only find them at the Yohji store as far as I know. Expensive though (well, you knew that).

Oh, and for women I really loved the ones Dries did for S/S 08! Very feline... Meow!

Re: eyewear

the classic number(n)ines are very nice if you can pull them off properly, I'll look for a pic

I have Stussy michaels, I really like the shape on them

I tend to stay away from 'designer' made sunglasses, I find they usually have issues with quality and durability.

I love Moscot eyewear, very ionic and affordable.

I remember looking at the Stussy Michaels, I really liked them, which may or may not have to have done with the fact that they're based on a pair of Michael Caine's glasses who remains an idol of mine. Are these discontinued? Thinking about a pair of the Moscot's instead. I'd like to try them on somewhere, but I don't see that happening. I'm tempted to wear them purely as fashion glasses (no tinting on the glasses) but that seems a little absurd, but I really like the way glasses look and I don't wear sunglasses. It would require some consideration.

Re: eyewear

Stussy still has them online, I have the grey ones myself:

I don't wear glasses but if I had to, mine would definitely be Cutler and Gross.

Re: eyewear

I like Alain Mikli. Some of the Stark designs for the brand are good, plus the glasses bend in all different ways making them hard to break over the years.

Re: eyewear



Mine are all by Cutler & Gross, and also one pair by a vintage French company Selecta, from the '60s.

I'm also expecting a pair of tortoise-shell glasses. Real tortoise-shell that is, not that cheap plastic stuff.

Here is a pair of sunglasses:

Re: eyewear

Wore Starck for Mikli for the past 7 years, my last pair finally gave in and the ones I'm wearing now are Oliver Goldsmith. British brand, products are hand made in Japan...very sturdy and well made, has a 60's feel to it. Price range about same as Mikli.

Re: eyewear

These are so cool! So are the ones in the picture Cutler & Gross or Selecta?

I wear this pair of titanium Orgreen frames, the design is fairly conservative but the material and construction are on point. I shy away from designer frames but that is mainly due to the selection available in Australia (prada darling ) as glasses are something you really need to try on before purchasing to judge whether or not the frames will suit your face.
