Vintage Versace Sunglasses

Vintage Versace Sunglasses

After years of customer requests we have finally decided to offer select sunglasses from our vintage vault to the public — kicking it off here with 4 rare vintage Versace pieces.   Each frame is deadstock (mint condition) and in extremely limited quantity. Since they have not been in production for nearly two decades, once sold out that’s it.

Long before the legendary Notorious B.I.G. donned the now iconic Versace shades in his music video ‘Hypnotize’, they were sought after as being an ultimate symbol of opulence.  A personification of not only the bold and unapologetic style of the Versace fashion house, but of the late Gianni Versace himself.  Versace with his lavish estates spanning the globe, including Milan, Miami Beach, Manhattan, and Lake Como, led many to indulge the “comparison to Roman emperors and Medici princes.”

The most coveted vintage Versace sunglasses are not subtle, but rather evoke an era, style, and culture of success in excess.

The Cutler and Gross Fall Winter 2012/2013 ‘The Golden Trail’ collection in now in stock.

This season Cutler and Gross takes us on an exotic journey through ‘The Golden Trail’ from India, via Turkey and Marrakesh. Using the star of Morocco as their guide, the ultimate symbol of richness, peace and beauty, they navigate across distant lands to discover hidden opulence.

Throughout the collection there is an adventurous sense of both shape and color. For women, frames recall the 1970’s, with oversized round and octagonal designs. For men, frames are thick and chunky and a twist on classic 60’s styles, with their wide temples and strong brow bars.

“Desert sunsets are reflected in the Mellow Yellow acetate and in the gentle graduated hues of paprika red, cinnamon brown and deep blue.  Sunkissed whites and Gold rolled onto tortoiseshell warm the senses while the gentle colours fig, honey and cumin whet the appetite.”

As always each piece is flawlessly executed using the absolute finest Italian acetate, materials, and craftsmanship you will find throughout the land, whether distant or not.   We are proud to present to you ‘The Golden Trail’.

Richard Nicoll X Ksubi | Limited Edition

richard nicoll X Ksubi | Limited Edition

Ksubi Eyewear joins forces with world renowned designer Richard Nicoll for a limited edition capsule collection.

The highly acclaimed summer 2012 collaboration between Richard Nicoll and ksubi is based on Henri Georges Clouzot’s unfinished 1966 ‘Masterpiece L’enfer’.

“Approaching the idea of taking classic cat’s eye and 1950-60’s shapes, which are modernized through detail and technique to create sleek and refined frames, the capsule offers architecturally strong lines softened with reflective surfaces and chain detailing, further resulting in a look that is simultaneously minimal and glamorous.The monochromatic colour palette is reminiscent of Clouzot’s French 60’s cinematography while glossed styles are carefully outlined with metallic hues. Chrome and mirrored lenses are nostalgic yet directional.”

The collection is filled with one head turning piece after another: glossed acetate styles with metallic outlined lenses, as well as metal frames polished to such a purity they are indistinguishable from their matching silver mirrored lenses (a strong effect hard to capture on camera, best appreciated in person).

Mosley Tribes Sunglasses – Summer 2012 “A Los Angeles Perspective”

Mosley Tribes Sunglasses - Summer 2012
The Mosley Tribes Summer 2012 collection is now available.

This season Mosley Tribes is paying tribute to the City of Angels, Los Angeles California, home of their headquarters as well as a continual source of their inspiration.

“GROWING UP in Los Angeles has given me an appreciation for the city and the many cultures that live within it. I am constantly inspired by what is going on around me in the diverse and vibrant landscape. This environment – from street art to high fashion, active lifestyle to music culture – drives my creativity and ultimately influences the designs that I create.”
Larry Leight, founder, creative director

Although styles and trends frequently change in Los Angeles the new releases this season are both unique and timeless — translating for any style and any local, whether the city streets or the beach. The collection features an array of classic metal and acetate frames, from the clean all plastic unisex “Stafford” to the vintage inspired squared off “Cayton” aviator (our favorites). Each piece boasts premier mineral glass lenses providing superb optics, with polarized, photochromic, as well as anti-reflective coated lens options.

Check out the new pieces below paired with some of our favorite imagery from the campaign; photographed in the places and on individuals that inspired their creation.

The collection, fittingly entitled “WAR”, is by far our favorite Ksubi offering to date.  There’s a fresh modern aesthetic created which is both raw and refined. It effortlessly fuses ideas and techniques from classic steam punk, traditional biker, fashion, street and sports.

“Adding to its repertoire with 12 unisex styles across sun and optical, the collection remains sharp, classic and modernized.  High shine, metals laminated with luxe leather detailing blend original and timeless elements to achieve a trademark style.”

From modern military aviators with different textures(“Cisco”) to “winged” cat-eye frames(“Rana”), the range presents an array of one of a kind styles which are fashion forward yet remain very clean and wearable.

Maison Martin Margiela X Cutler and Gross 2012

Maison Martin Margiela sunglasses 2012

Maison Martin Margiela 2012 sunglass collection is now available.

After a very successful collaboration last year, French fashion label Maison Martin Margiela once again teams up with luxury eyewear maker Cutler and Gross for a full collection of sunglasses for 2012. The collection fuses the very best of two worlds; Maison Martin Margiela brings their signature expertise for experimental deconstructionist design, while the highly esteemed Cutler and Gross sees it to fruition with impeccable attention detail, materials, and workmanship.

The new range takes powerful past inspirations and themes and re-invents them through Margiela’s discerning perspective.

The main themes include:

‘Cable Temple’ – Our favorite of the season, the ‘Cable Temple’ uses a temple design whose origin can be traced back to the 1800’s.  The Italian acetate frame front is paired with German made stainless steel cable temples which wrap around the wearer’s ears for a secure and comfortable fit.  Also rare for an acetate frame they feature nose pads which help provide a better fit on a wider variety of noses.  Available in three colors: classic Black,  a rich Dark Turtle, as well as a very unique transparent “Champagne”.

‘Replica France’ – For the first time, Maison Martin Margiela has adapted its ‘Replica’ line to include sunglasses.  ‘Replica France’ is based on French motoring sunglasses of the 1970s; it is a semi-rounded design with a unique embossed front outline and tapered sides. Available in Black and Champagne.

‘Rimless’ –  Light weight, minimalist, yet completely distinct and memorable.  The Rimless is a style which plays on the illusion that the lenses are free from form and not surrounded by a frame. The very slim arms are made from stainless steel.  Available as the ‘Rimless Pilot’ style as well as the bold and oversized ‘Rimless Round’.
