I’m in love with these wonderful frames from Oliver Peoples! They have relaunched a modified version of the classic MP-2 (the original came in smaller sizes). They’re all made in the old factory situated in Japan, and are therefore of a great quality. The collection also offers a clip-on in the same style. This is perfection.

On the Street… Classic Wayfarer
My friend Aleks wearing a lovley yellow dress with a classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer.
We’ve been writing about Ray-Ban Wayfarer a lot, but that’s because it’s a great unisex alround sunglass! Besides, it’s a great frame to put corrected sun lenses in. Both Aleks and I bought us a pair wayfarer with corrected sun lens this summer and that’s definitely one of the best buy this year!
I think everybody should have a corrected sunglass, to see perfect even in the sunshine.
Relaxed look by Persol
We’ve been writing about this sunglass many times before, (HERE) and (HERE). But as it’s one of the most googled frames and also a lovley sunglass we would like to do it again!
Below you can see the classic Persol 714, which is the folding sunglass that Steve McQueen wore in the movie Thomas Crown Affair. The blue lenses gives the sunglass a relaxed look.

New Releases from Ray-Ban with a twist
I love new releases! Specially when they comes with a new twist, like this ones below:
Ray-Ban‘s Signet RB3429 and Round Metal RB3447 are two classic sunglasses from Ray-Ban. Signet has it roots from the 70’s and Round Metal from the 80’s. Today, you can find them in a renewed version with soft faded lenses. We see more and more faded lenses, big like.
RB3447 112/32 “Round Metal”
I like that the lenses aren’t dark as G15. With this faded lens you can have a conversation without being impolite, as your friend is able to see your eyes trough the lenses.
Giorgio Armani
This year Giorgio Armani launched a great collection, probably the best ever. Below you find some of my favorites. GA823 TEN
I like the combination of metal and acetate. It gives the shape a thin and cool look, and besides they have adjustable nose pads which often gives the frame a better fit. More metal frames to the people!
The many ways of Clubmaster
The Ray-Ban Clubmaster is a classic sunglass that you nowadays can get in a lot of styles. Below you can se some of my favorites this year:Classic brown with gold or army style?
Which one is your favorite?

Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier, pseudonym for Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, the famous French-Swiss architect and artist known for contibuting to what is called “Modern Architecture”. He was very loyal to one type of frame, in fact that type of glasses are called Le Corbusier or “Architect frames”.
This type of frame has lots of character, is bold and simple. A great feature is that even strong prescriptions look great in a round think frame like this. Frames inspired by the Le Corbusier frame:
