SUMMER EYEWEAR INSPIRATION 2013 // Part II

In this part of the photos for Optik Magazine, Dominique and I wanted to focus on antique style and intricate details such as filigree metal, fine acetates and leather.

Warby Parker Showroom, San Francisco

As I’m in San Francisco I felt I just had to take the chance to finally see the well-known Warby Parker glasses in real life. For yours who aren’t familiar with Warby Parker, it’s a startup from New York focusing on affordable cool glasses with a charity perspective: Buy a pair, give a pair. Warby Parker works with experienced non-profit partners to ensure that each sale of their frames will give someone in need access to affordable glasses. So far, they’ve distributed over 250 000 pairs already(!). 

Pictures from the showroom (placed in a cute vintage shop):

bonocle // Lunettes Brillenagentur ViintageLove this combination! The total opposite of what we’re used to see on acetate/metal eyewear. Normally they have acetate on top, like to Clubmaster style. But this is just geeky and awesome!

Raw Vintage Party, Püssy A GoGo, Stockholm, Sweden

20121108-220154.jpg

The best costume party of 2012 was Hyper Island‘s Raw Vintage Party last weekend in Püssy A GoGo‘s cellar in Old Town in Stockholm!

The whole place looked like the catwalk of a fancy thrift shop in London. My favorites happened to use eyewear as accessories! This is me (!) by the way in my Graz special edition J.E.R sunglasses. You can call me Lady Yaya!

When Vintage Meets Punk

Meet Emmy Moström
– a true Eyewear snake* in her frame Barba Amarilla from Vasuma.

Vintage meets punk. Love it!

*Eyewear snake: The overall theme for the Vasuma collection is that here in Sweden bullies make fun of others wearing glasses by calling them “Eyewear snake”. Vasuma Eyewear is all about the revenge of the bullied ones with glasses out there. Each style in the collection is therefore named after a snake. The revenge of the eyewear-snake is finally here.

Thanks for sharing your picture with us, Emmy!

SALT. Optical

Amazing color combination by Salt, well known for their classic shapes made of the finest acetate.

I love to see new acetate versions of tortoise, like this color from Salt named “vintage blue tortoise”. Big up!
