MYKITA and Bernahrd Wilhelm teamed up once more for another sunglass called Violetta.
This Psychadelic frame is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a sunglass: large, fun gradient colors and LIGHT! They come in thsese two cool color combinations. I love the gold with the green/pink lenses, the green looks like eye shadow and the pink looks like rouge!
Very exciting: We finally got to open the Leisure Society box! They are just lovely.
Leisure Society’s frames are certainly not like the average frame. This is something really special. The detailing is rich and super fine. Some frames are 24 K gold plated. The sunglass lenses (being scratch proof, anti glare, 12-layered anti reflective treated and 99.9% distortion free) are of the best quality you can find.
We recieved both opftalmic frames and sunglasses. We also love the careful thought put into the details of the etchings in the metal and the case, boxes for the case, cleaning cloth and the lovely booklet that each frame comes with and the lookbook and display material for the shop. Everything is made so carefully. These are truly high end frames.
All frames are handmade in Japan wich gives them the great quality and they were all designed by Shane Baum, the founder of Baum Vision. You can read more about Leisure Society and watch the lovely movie in a previous post we wrote.
Here’s a few of close ups. Enjoy!
Even the small metal piece on the nose pads are etched.
Tasteful details.
The boxes for the case for the frame.
Love the burgundy on top!
Optical frame in lovely frosty acetate.
Lovely inside and out.
This is a really elegant frame.
We are SO waiting for the sun here in Stockholm!
These sunglasses make me so happy! The streetwear brand Rockwell collaborated with Waiting for the Sun to make these special “La Une” sunglasses in colorful BAMBOO! Talk about special! Each frame comes with a limited edition scarf.

Jeremy Scott and Linda Farrow have once again teamed up for unusually shaped eyewear, this time in the shape of two hands! They also have other frames called “Cross” and “Wings”, looking exactly what they sound like. Can be bought here.
At Paris Fashion Week Givenchy had several models with large glasses on in bright colors and thick black for AW11. Love this!

London based Cutler And Gross has yet another collaboration with a fashion brand. This spring they’ve collaborated with Cacharel: It’s one frame (Cutler And Gross’ own M0737?) in four different colors: Watermelon, Lemon, Nude and Pink. This spring I’m especially fond of the nude colors but pink is very sweet too.
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.

You really have to see this amazing tribute site to Al’s glasses!
Henrik Vibskov‘s AW11 show at Copenhagen Fashion Week last week really made a statement with the bright reds, oranges, blacks and whites. PLUS: eye exam frames on all models! Every optometrist has one. They’re not very comfortable but they sure look cool – Lady Gaga meets Willy Wonka. Fun and futuristic.
