Philippe Starck Eyewear

STARCK EYES

For you guys who are looking for eyewear with a clean and modern design, but with a unique twist, you should definitely take a look at Starck Eyewear. Designed by Philippe Starck and produced by Alain Mikli the eyewear is a high quality product, handmade with a unique design. Philippe Starck always goes a step further in his designs. The temples are inspired by the human shoulder, that is why they are flexible just like a shoulder. Most of his designs are made in odd materials for spectacles, such as the ALUX Collection where the front of each design is made of a whole piece of aluminum.

Mirror lenses


MYKITA on Vouge

Mirror lenses has gotten a lot of attention in fashion magazines, but sadly enough I haven’t seen many people actually wearing them. How come? Maybe it’s just the Swedes who are afraid of wearing it, or is it the same worldwide?

I can imagine that lot of people associate mirror lenses with those super sporty sunglass of the 80’s, because even I do. And because I’m not a sporty person, I don’t see any reason to wear sunglass with a sporty look. But lately I’ve noticed that there is a whole bunch of cool sunglass with mirror lenses, which are not necessarily sporty. For example my round sunglass “Janis” from MYKITA: (Click here to see).

On the Street… Swedish Midsummer

Every year we welcome the summer in Sweden by celebrating the traditional Midsummer. If you ever get the chance to celebrate this tradition in Sweden you should really do it. It’s definitely a one of a kind celebration with lot of weird funny things, like dancing like frogs and eating crude fish. This year I’d a typical Swedish Midsummer with my friends in Österslöv. Above you can see two of my friends, wearing a summerlook which they perfectly match with a pair of ray-bans classical sunglasses.
