MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA x H&M

I just saw some look book pictures of the Maison Martin Margiela x H&M collection at Agne’s blog – wow! Everything looks really amazing and I can’t wait until the 15th of November.

The leather case on the pictures, shaped as a glove, is a true Bonocle Favorite. Perfect for all eyewear-people ; ).

SILMO 2012 // Streetstyle

My friend and former co-worker Lisa from MYKITA looking great in the Oscar Magnuson SS13 sunnies 8921.

They’re inspired by Iris Apfel – maybe you recognize the shape? It’s the same shape that came as an optical frame for AW12, which Jasmin wrote about (here).

SILMO 2012 // Gogosha

At the Silmo fair I run into inspiring Julia from Gogosha Optique. Finally! She is probably the biggest eyewear fan on this planet and she has two optical stores with the coolest selection of eyewear brands from all over the world. Happy to finally meet her in person!

SILMO 2012 // Ugo Cacciatori Eyewear

Meet Ugo Cacciatori, a high-end jewelry designer now launching his very first eyewear collection – presented at the Silmo fair for the first time.

What makes this extension unique, is the way they really succeed transmitting the same feeling of the jewelries into eyewear. An interesting fact is that the glasses aren’t made in regular eyewear factories, but in the same italian factory as the jewelries.

All glasses are made of the finest materials silver and bio acetate.

One of my favorites is this aviator, combining bold acetate with thinner silver details.

SILMO 2012 // ILLESTEVA

Three favorite sunnies from the Illesteva collection, shown at the Silmo fair 2012:

Illesteva is an eyewear brand designed in NY handmade in France, Germany or Italy – it all depends on the special item. They play with both design and materials which has resulted in a interesting collection of frames made of acetate, bamboo, titanium and natural buffalo horn.
