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.

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!

Colorful necklaces for hanging your eyewear in when you’re not wearing them!


Cute ring on Caroline’s finger!

La Loop

La Loop is a beautiful and necessary necklace for hanging your glasses in. It’s secret is the magical hinges which will never let the glasses fall off the loop. It comes in different materials such as leather, jade, silver, gold and acetate and different shapes of loops so that both men and women can wear them!



La Loop’s designer Elizabeth Faraut shows how this fantastic necklace slash reading glasses shown below! Love this quirky necklace with a great function!

 

Oscar Magnuson 237

The Swedish brand Oscar Magnusson launches a new collection, called 237. It’s a new concept, that offers interesting shapes in a thin acetate. I’m a big fan of thin frames with a nice shape, so I really like this concept. For once you can wear a big acetate frame without allowing the frame become too dominant.

…So why don’t go a little bit more crazy and add some color to the face?

Snowboarding, Skate and Music

Some cool sunglass went to picnic this summer…

Above you can see two skate brands that offer cool eyewear in a true skate style. MONOKEL is a Swedish brand, founded by two young guys: Fredrik and Robert. The heart and soul of the company stems from snowboarding, skateboarding and music. Even 9five acclaime skate and music, no wonder the DJ’s from The Soul Lounge choose to wear their sunglasses!
