Ottica Giulietti e Guerra, Bologna, Italy

When in Bologna, Italy do not miss one of the best optician’s I’ve been to:

Ottica Giulietti e Guerra
Via Clavature, 24
40124 BOLOGNA


Garrett Leight in the window.

There you can find most of the top eyewear brands worth mentioning such as Oliver Peoples, Garrett Leight, MYKITA, Theo, Harry Lary’s, Thierry Lasry, just to name a few. They have a few stores in Bologna and this is one of them. Very nice staff too!


Harry Lary’s beautiful acetate!


Thierry Lasry always had the craziest acetate!

The lovely Caroline Abram that makes the beautiful eyewear accessories we’ve posted about a few times about also makes fantastic glasses.

Selima Optique – The London Collection

Selima Optique recently had an event in New York to launch the “London Collection”. A Vintage high-end collection curated by Selima herself and Kajal, currently a Business School student from London who is set to launch her eyewear company upon graduation later this year. Very exciting!

The collection looks awesome from what I’ve seen so far, specially this vintage sunglass from Cazal:

 

On the Street… Schönhauser Allee

I passed by this man today and as he caught my attention with his awesome frames I just had to run back and ask for a picture to share with you guys.

He is wearing a Japanese metal frame which he added a black windsor ring on for a more intense look. I love the idea of modifying your own eyewear! Like Jasmin did with her Savile Row (see post HERE) or like I did with my Vasumas (see post HERE).

Meet Baldessarini


Meet Baldessarini, founded in 1993 by Werner Baldessarini, the rewarded former Vice President and designer of Hugo Boss. The eyewear is classic and minimalistic with fine details in the acetate.




Look at the acetate! It looks like wood!


Tomas Halld’n, friend and former collegue, is now the awesome Swedish rep for Baldessarini invited me to his place and showed me the entire collection.

I love Tomas’ animals, and there’s lots of them. This is Hedda, she is a Whippet. Here I’m wearing my favorite from the Baldessarini collection, the 5105.


The Corn Snakes needed some accessories.


Geckos need glasses too…
