Gogosha’s Eyewear Collection

The Eyewear guru Julia Gogosha-Clark sent me pictures of her fantastic eyewear collection. If you’re in L.A. make sure to visit her stores!

This is a large and very tasteful collection with a few one of a kind items. She stores them in a vintage dental cabinet and holds so many great brands but more importantly really nice designs, colors and unique shapes!

I really admire your taste and collcetion!

This is Julia’s Thierry Lasry Drawer!

The clown was a gift from Moritz from Mykita, It even has Julia’s name stamped inside. Julia sold one just like it to Lady Gaga.

Love the round sunglasses!

Julia’s dog Odessa guarding her massive collection, if anyone gets any ideas.

Only fine eyewear brands here: Theo, Claire Goldsmith, Anne et Valentin, Selima Optique and Cutler And Gross.

The pearl strand is a custom La Loop chain made custom for Julia.

The colorful cat eye is a bespoke from Claire Goldsmith, and says Made for Gogosha in the temple.

Yesterday Mats Almegård interviewed Barbara and I for Swedish Trade Magazine Optik about why we started blogging about eyewear. The Inteview will be published in the November issue. So we took the opportunity of asking him some questions about himself:

Mats is editor of the Optik Magazine and he also has a radio show about electronic music on Swedish Radio P2 called Ström. Right now he’s making a film about electronic music where they’ve interviewed many artist who’ve made different types of electronic music since the 50’s until today. It’ll be shown in June 2012.

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!

When I was in Mayfair in London I met awesome Khary, Chris & Teddy. They all wear Cutler And Gross frames. Looking super stylish, guys!

At the Party…Hewett Street, London, UK

There was a charity event in Shoreditch, East London for East Africa. There I saw this beautiful girl in vintage Cutler And Gross frames.

Thomas Tait accessorized the models of his Spring 2012 Show in London Fashion Week with funny looking droopy sunglasses in collaboration with Cutler And Gross.

The frame kinda reminds me of the classic Oliver Goldsmith Vintage Frame Fish Diamonds.

On the Street…in Spain

My great friend Frida took this picture during her vacation in Spain. She’s wearing a thick round acetate frame from Erdem for Cutler And Gross called Tomoko in Tortoise with Dark Green lenses.

Cool and feminine summer look. Really like the crystal/black patterns reminds me of THIS ONE!

SUNGLASS WEEK: Aviators

Aviators are probably the most common type of sunglasses and come in many different variations, from the egg shaped to the straight almost square shaped.
