SUNGLASS WEEK – Colorful

Spring is here!

This week Bonocle will feed you with a lot of inspiration! Each day we will present a specific style of sunglasses, check it out!


Monday – Colorful!

Today we present colorful sunglasses. I think that everyone should have a colorful pair of sunglasses, to complement all these classic styles. A splash of color can really make difference. So why don’t you add some color this summer?

Albert Maysels by Barton Perreira

A great cameraman must have a great pair of eyes, and a great pair of eyes should be framed with a great pair of glasses.

Albert Maysels (rhymes with hazels), the talented documentary filmmaker, has been the inspiration for these classic frames by Barton Perreira for Barneys exclusively. This is a very classic look that many people look very good in.

Barton Perreira X Chloë Sevigny For Opening Ceremony


Photos: Opening Ceremony

Oh, so adorable!

These over sized, perfect circle, sunglasses have a very carefree glamorous 70’s look that i really love and are avaliable in pechy pink or blue with a heart on each lens in a lighter shade. Not only do they look amazing, there’s a story behind them as well.

Chloë Sevigny got together with Barton Perreira when designing sunglasses for Opening Ceremony. The three models are all inspired by Andy Warhol’s superstar Candy Darling from the documentary Beautiful Darling. These round ones are named after the actress Candy herself.
