Eyewear

[sshum88]

Well I've been wearing glasses since I was 10 so I've made eyewear part of my accessories. I have quite a few pairs of sunglasses but my favorite as of late are from Oliver Goldsmith. I drawn to acetate frames even though I have more metal framed sunglasses.

i call these my beehives...

If you can't see the work past the fucking taped seams , cold dye wash or raw hems - perhaps you shouldn't really be looking at all.

Yes, they do. I really only bought them because they are so radical. To wear them is near impossible - mostly I found myself taking them off because of the mad stares you get before my nose ever started hurting. Faust reminded me of an amazing pair of HL Titanium shades (similar to Incogs in as much as they had one continuous lens) which I didn't buy at Browns - a decision I have regretted ever since. Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.

These by Linda Farrow are fun Is that the Farrow+Mickey Mouse colab? I like the classic shape and style of Wayfarers, but I find they're often too big for the wearer. Same goes for the sought after Marcello frames by Geller. I have a similar, yet sized down pair of frames by Barton Perreira. It was remarkable how challenging it was to find a simple and classic design. Lenses could be swapped out for tints.

I was planning on making a sunglass thread...

Barton Perreira makes fantastic sunglasses. The voyeur model in gunmetal are on my face almost every day.

Mykita makes some aviators which have an almost invisible frame and are super lightweight titanium.

Dita makes a limited edition line called lancier also top quality and look great on almost everyone.

Black Optical in Tulsa is where I end up buying most of my sunglasses (including all the ones listed above), great guy and very helpful quick emails.

I'll add links to pictures when I have time later today.
