Crystal Renn loves these Eyebrow Glasses from Prada’s fall/winter 2010 collection so much she’s going to turn them into her prescription glasses. We’ve been seeing a resurgence in the cat’s eye glasses trend; however, these are a real first. Playful, feminine and possibly a little snarky, these glasses could be really cute on the right girl. So tell us, is that girl YOU or do you think these are best left for playing dress-up?! Keep reading »
The way we live now: thanks to 3-D video games, porn, and movies (“Avatar,” say whaaa?) coming back from the retro grave, the dorky glasses that go with them have already been co-opted by the masses. Those flimsy blue and red specs of yesterday are no longer, and now there’s a host of high-design companies manufacturing 3-D fashion glasses. Above, the selection from Look 3D, which makes slick frames, some vintage-inspired, others girl-ed out with bubbly pink and purple hues. Geeks everywhere are outraged. [Kotaku.com] Keep reading »
Dakota Fanning probably just wore glasses and a cozy outfit for her flight, but she looks quite sophisticated, no? Keep reading »
Hey, hey, hey, J.Crew, since when did you start slapping Barneys price tags on your previously affordable goods? While we still adore you, we got a bit of a shock yesterday while doing some online window shopping on your site when we saw these cute sunglasses for … $395? Um, what? The deal—they’re part of a special collection from the famous eyewear brand A. R. Trapp, a “family-owned-and-operated company … known for its elegant, timeless designs and expert dedication to the craft—many clients have been wearing the same A.R. Trapp styles for decades (Spike Lee and famed architect Philip Johnson have counted among them).”
The vintage vibe on these thick-framed specs is pretty neat, but neat enough to drop $400 on? Hmm … [J.Crew] Keep reading »
Coming this spring: Alexander Wang‘s first sunglasses collection, which includes these uh-may-zing cat’s-eye shades that I’m going to declare this summer’s must-have beach peepers. How much do they cost? I’m guessing somewhere in the range of I-don’t-want-to-know. [Pipeline] Keep reading »
When the millennium came around, those glittery “2000″ glasses were a clever party gag. In the years since, they’ve just become standard New Year’s Eve paraphernalia. The inherent problems of adapting this accessory to the year 2010 just hit us. Oh. Huh.
You’d think maybe that double-zero lens trend would just die out and become a bygone marker of the ’00s. But, apparently, no one’s ready to let go, and party supply companies have adapted by moving the “1″ out of the way, or making the “1″ so thick that you can put a hole in it. Doesn’t this all just seem a bit … silly? Think in the year 2357 people are still going to be wearing party glasses on NYE? [Guest Of A Guest] Keep reading »
While pinup girls make regular appearances on everything from jewelry to automobile mud flaps, we don’t see pinup guys, well, anywhere. Thankfully, tableware company Fishs Eddy has come up with a set of cheeky (har, har) glasses to fill the void. Featuring a pole dancer in butt-baring chaps, these 13.5 oz. cups are certainly one tall drink of water. [$20 for 4, Fishs Eddy] Keep reading »
We’ve talked glasses before. Like Amelia, I’m guilty of rocking a pair of “dated” frames, and I’m in the market for some new, not-circa-1997 eyeglasses. So when I happened upon Indivijual custom eyewear, I was intrigued. Indivjual allows customers to completely personalize their specs. The process begins with a full assessment of your skin, hair and eye color, face shape and personality, and ends with a carefully considered, well-designed pair of glasses that entirely compliments and expresses your persona (and works with your hair color, too). The glasses are around 600 bucks, which is not cheap. But, frankly, I’ve seen more of those crazy expensive Chanel eyeglasses on women these days than ever before and those ain’t pennies on the dollar either. Why not spend a little more and get yourself a haute custom experience? Something to save up for. [Cool Hunting] Keep reading »
Stop right there, RiRi. We’re willing to overlook the skunk hair and forgive the sheer-paneled dresses because your style is otherwise oh-so-fierce, but this we cannot allow. If these were sunglasses we could see the chicness, but the clear lenses are bringing back memories of Grandpa circa 1983, and NOT in the awesome way. Keep reading »
