SUMMER EYEWEAR INSPIRATION 2013 // Part I

I teamed up with the talented Dominique Hernandez to create a series of photos for the Swedish Optometry Magazine Optik. For this spread I wanted to use regular eyewear and not only sunglasses just because it was a summer issue. Stay tuned for more photos!

Hope you like it, enjoy!

Colors from DITA x Thom Browne

We have been introducing you guys to the DITA x Thom Browne collaboration before (see HERE). I must say the frames coming out from this collaboration are simply stunning, so well done and amazing details. This is a real craftsmanship with top quality and design.

We have been showing you the more classic ones before, why I now want to introduce you to these lovely colors from this years collection. Classy meets pop – love it!

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!
