Eyegoodies is proud to welcome to the site Garrett Leight California Optical.
For Garrett Leight, son of Oliver Peoples founder Larry Leight, some might think making eyewear was seemingly destined, but for him it is just a matter of following his passion. It is out of this love for eyewear and “desire to create beautiful things” that his namesake brand “Garrett Leight California Optical” (GLCO for short) was born.
Leight put in the time honing his skills by working directly for both Oliver Peoples and Mosley Tribes. However make no mistake, Garrett Leight California Optical has a style and vision which is uniquely his own.
GLCO is laid back, sophisticated, and inspired by Leight’s California surroundings: the place where he was born, raised, works, lives, and loves. Timeless styles are brought to life through his discerning west coast perspective; From the colorways, such as “Champagne” with “Ocean” polarized lenses, or “Honey Blonde Tortoise” with old school “Pure Green” lenses (just to name a few) — to the frames all being named after streets in Venice CA . Even the Venice zip code “90291″ is specially engraved on the core wire, a very nice touch. There is a beautiful aesthetic to the entire collection. It’s not over complicated, just a slice of classic 20th century Americana served with a modern twist.
Having come from an optical background gives Leight the unique ability to perfectly execute the subtle details which makes any frame just that much better: such as the fit, proportion, and comfort. The collection also boasts some great technical features, such as German-made hinges, Japanese aged acetate, and Italian glass Barberini lenses for superb optics.
Without Further ado…

The latest 2012 Ksubi Eyewear collection entitled “Ad Asrtra Per Aspera”, is now in stock.
“Ad Astra Per Aspera” (Latin for: from hardships to the stars) is the motto. Always looking forward, pushing boundaries, and dreaming big, it is fitting that Ksubi chose it as the title for their new collection.
The new range and campaign “is based on paranoid alien obsessed fanatics and their anarchistic lab nerd style”. Fashion forward, sophisticated, and very wearable the collection heralds inspiration from the 1950’s to the 1990’s and beyond. Everything from cat-eye shapes, to rimless, to outlined frames in translucent acetates, are completely reimagined in true Ksubi form.
The latest look book, shot by Kane Skennar, imaginatively and playfully blends a bit of out of this world crazy with an underlying geek chic sophistication, check it out below.

The latest collaboration from Thierry Lasry is now available. Supply Limited.
Two years after the success of their first collaboration, Thiery Lasry once again teams up with French music band Liquid Architecture and French artist Thomas Lelu, to design a serious limited edition frame, entitled the “Liquid 2″.
These aren’t your fathers aviators. The new Liquid 2 from Thierry Lasry is a substantial plastic aviator with a unique “W” bridge and is offered in three fresh trims: black, white, and red. The trim is not only on the temple tips but also surrounding the hinge, which makes for quite a nice touch. It comes complete with a special edition drawstring carrying pouch (designed by Thomas Lelu) in the same color as the frame trim.

Eyegoodies is proud to welcome to the site one of our all time favorite brands, Cutler and Gross. Supply Limited.
Cutler and Gross was founded in 1969 by Graham Cutler and Tony Gross who opened their optical boutique in Knightsbridge London stocking handmade bespoke frames. Since their inception, their one of a kind luxury eyewear was an instant success and an integral part in forever shaping the landscape of the industry. Other brands often try to imitate and take inspiration from Cutler and Gross, but there is nothing quite like the real thing; A difference which can not only be seen, but a quality which can be felt.
Cutler and Gross is not about being overly complicated. You will find no obnoxious branding or logo’s on the outside of their frames, yet they capture your eye with a “quiet elegance, and a firm and graceful classicism”. The brand adheres to the same principles today as it has for over four decades, and for which it is globally renowned: unsurpassed quality and timeless aesthetics.
While most designer frames are mass produced using flimsy injection molding techniques, the manufacturing process that Cutler and Gross employs is both expensive and time consuming; there are no short-cuts taken and no detail over looked.
“The Cutler and Gross frames are cut from sheets of acetate and then the rough cut goes into a polishing process where we first tumble the frame fronts and temples in a wood barrel for 3-4 days with resin chips and olive oil. The tumbling smoothes the surface of the frames and prepares for the hand polishing, without removing too much of the sharpness of the frame. Every hole is hand drilled and the pins and hinges are screwed by hand, no glue is used in the frame building process that takes 3 weeks.”
This manufacturing process has become a lost art today. A pair of Cutler and Gross sunglasses or eyeglasses is made to last a lifetime, “The real McCoy” not just another designer decoy.

The new 2011 Graz Eyewear collection is now in stock, supply limited.
While Austalian label Graz Eyewear’s debut line of sunglasses started in just 2008, make no mistake about it the man behind the self entitled line, Graz Mulcahy, has quite an extensive body of work. At just 19, Mulcahy launched AM Eyewear before moving on to be Chief Designer of Ksubi Eyewear, and then onto his own line Graz. Some might also recognize the name, as having designed sunglasses and collaborated with the label Chronicles of Never for their 2009-2011 optical collections, as well as collaborated with cult label Monster Children and Australian fashion house ELLERY(which we covered). Graz has received much deserved praise by both a loyal and ever growing following as well as fashion insiders. His collection was voted “Best Sunglasses Design of The Year” by Vogue Magazine in 2008. Grazia Magazine called Graz “King of Accessories for 2009”.
Graz eyewear is not about logo’s or fly fads. They are a small label and you can tell the thought that goes into each and every pair, which are seamlessly edgy yet timeless.
Constantly evolving, the new 2011 collection brings several new styles which are an eclectic mix of old-school classics but updated to feel very fresh. Particularly impressive this season are the unique colors and textures; Aside from the classic tortoise and black, the styles are available in great colors such as: matte black, “Ale”, bronze, gold, and “root beer”; and feature metals as well as acetate.
