On the Street…Paris, France
I love how she matched her bright stockings, skirt and her large necklace with nude shoes and sunglasses.

Some inspiring photos from Stockholm Streetstyle:
New Marni
The new Marni frames I saw in Paris are probably the best collection so far. They are still very feminine and colorful but slightly larger, which will make them more weareable. The colors are red, blue, turquoise, yellow, green, puple, brown, beige and pastels. Most frames are a combination of transparent and opaque, matte and glossy or two-tone colored.
I instantly found my favorites:
Look at the fine details.
Love the color combination. No one does it like Marni.
Super awesome. Like a smiley face.
Beautiful matte frames.
Another favorite of mine.
On the Street… Persol 649
Sunglasses aren’t just a summer accessory!
The classic Persol 649 is a perfect all-season sunglass. This stylish guy matches them perfectly good with his autumn coat in the sunset.
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!

The Harding. Perfect shape. Perfect colors.
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!
At the Fair…Paris, France
Last week in Paris I met a beautiful woman who works at the family owned optician Optiek Tackoen in Hasselt, Belgium. She looks cool and stylish in her Reiz frames!
On the Street…2 X Uuksuu at New Cross Fire Station, London, UK
Oliver Goldsmith designed the crazy Uuksuu sunglass in 1964 and now Claire Goldsmith, his great granddaughter remakes the cool sunglass frame. The acetate shape is slightly rounded butterfly but the lens in squareish.
My dear friend Frida works at Oliver Goldsmith in London. This summer we both ordered the same sunglass – without even knowing it! Frida has the Mint Choc Chip and I have the Tortoise Split. Great minds think alike.
