Dramaten, Stockholm
We met this beautiful spanish girl outside Dramaten in Stockholm a sunny day. She looks really chic with her cool outfit and a pair of glasses from Tom Ford. Very stylish!
New Theo
Bright colors! Bold shapes! Fun and Crazy. New yet timeless. Once you go Theo it’s hard to go back!
This is how I would describe Belgian eyewear brand Theo. The frames are sturdy and durable, the styles are bold and hard to place in a timeframe.
Theo had custom made Belgian chocolate made in a shape of a pair of round spectacles.
Love you right back!
At the fair…Silmo 2011
At Silmo in Paris I met many cool people with cool glasses and I saw a few creative displays. Here’s a mix of the best!
Lidia, the cutest girl of Silmo wearing MYKITA Holly in Pale Blue and Gold!
Fun and crazy frame balanced out by a soft color works great together!
Philipp Haffmans, co-founder of MYKITA, in one of my favorite new metal frames from MYKITA!

Mr. Handsome at Filao.
An amazing Italian 1952 Piaggio Vespa at RockOptika.
MYKITA Mylon
The frames are made of just powder. Wait now, what? POWDER? Yes, Powder.
MYKITA presented their new series of Mylon Frames at Silmo in Paris. Mylon is like nothing else you’ve seen or touched before!
The first Mylon collection was fun and experimental while this new collection is wearable, sporty and more useable.

The material Mylon is very special and the making of these frames is not like any other. The shape is drawn in 3D in a computer, a laser beam then prints on powder made of Nylon in layers after layers. Where the laser hits, the Nylon melts and hardens. This allowes MYKITA to experiment with the shapes and make really advanced frames! Afterwards the front and temples are lifted out and most of the remaining Nylon powder can be reused again. The parts are softened, colored and treated so that the surface feels alost like wood (very comfortable against the skin!) and the parts are put together with MYKITA’s special screwless hinges. The color won’t rub off and the material is super durable, it can’t break, but all Mylon frames can be adjusted.
This collection is a little bit more sporty, they fit very well around the head and they all come with Zeiss lenses in different colors. This is really a light and stylish sports sunframe that can be worn in the city as well! You can even put corrective lenses in most of the models!
There are seven different models, each of them come in three different colors.
Garrett Leight in Paris
In Paris I met Garrett Leight and Elena Doukas to see the Garrett Leight glasses. It was great to finally meet them since we at Bonocle like the frames so much! We had a great time and talked most of the time so I kinda forgot to take pictures.
What I can tell you is that great things are about to come! I am really really excited! Garrett is doing a great job, there are few models but all of them are truly well executed!
You can read more about Garret Leight’s frames here and here and stay tuned for future posts about Garrett Light!

Focus on… Angelica Blick
Angelica Blick is a very inspiring swedish fashionista that seems to have a great passion for good looking sunglasses. Below you find some lovely pictures from her blog…
Thom Browne New York
An evening on a rooftop in beautiful Paris I had the opportunity of seeing Thom Browne‘s first eyewear collection.
Thom Browne is a New York based fashion designer. His suits look a littel bit awkward consisting of pants so short they show the sockless ankles, and jackets ending right below the waist, not covering the back. The suit colors a mostly gray and matched with a tie in the same fabric.
For his sunglass line he teamed up with eyewear brand Dita to make one of the most detailed and finest eyewear collections I’ve seen. Details such as perforated splatter shields and tri-colored cable temple ends are made in such detail it’s absolute perfection. The shapes are round, oval, aviator or wayfarer in the style of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Have a look and enjoy both the detailing in Thom Browne’s eywear and an amazing Paris Indian summer evening.

Flip ups.
Net shields.
It’s in the details, especially if you are the only one knowing it.
The sunglasses in the very back have flat lenses. Hot!
Filao Paris
Filao is a French eyewear accessory brand founded by Caroline Abram. She is so creative and mixes acteate, beads, wool, fabric, feathers and wood to make lorgnettes, chains and other aceessories. There are so many colors, materials and varieties!
The beautiful and creative Caroline Abram.
For those of you think eyewear chains are only for old people.
Colorful necklaces for hanging your eyewear in when you’re not wearing them!
Cute ring on Caroline’s finger!

New Moscot
At the Silmo fair in Paris last week I had the chance of meeting the awesome guys at Moscot. The New York-based eyewear brand had a few new models to show along with their classic ones.
Beautiful decorations. I love the heads covered with old newspaper.
