Dzmitry Samal's retro future eyewear

The pixel design trend has come up with some great halloween costumes, but could it be moving towards the mainstream? I doubt it, to be honest, but Parisian designer Dzmitry Samal may think differently. His 6 dpi Eyewear collection has a strangely retro future look, embracing technology long gone but yet looking like something teleported […]

Adam Kimmel and Selima sunglasses for summer

Adam Kimmel and Selima, the French optical company, collaborated on a couple of sunglass styles for the summertime. The Eagle Eye frames (left) have more  of a classic shape to them, whereas the Welder frames (right) are more reminiscent of a mad scientist in the 1930’s — a much more interesting accessory than most on […]

Classic shades to ward off the summer glare

Summer is quickly approaching, so it’s about that time to gather the necessary accouterments needed to keep your cool (both literally and metaphorically, of course). For those of you who are intimidated by the more immediate trends materializing this season — say like the MWM x Ray-Ban’s we posted a couple days ago —  Mykita […]

Matt W. Moore's classic tribute to the 80's in sunglass form

Ray-Bans have asked artist/graphic designer Matt W. Moore, aka MWM, to create a new color scheme for their ultra classic Wayfarer frames. The Portland, Maine-based illustrator used his signtarure “Vectorfunk” style to come up with the vividly colored pattern, for which they apparently went through two dozen different colorways to find. I appreciate how the […]

The perfect protection for spring

These limited edition Ray-Ban Wayfarers have just popped up, with only 100 pairs available in the USA. Made of 100% Zyl with real silver accents on the temple hinges, they make great protection for springtime festivities — in fact, they’d be perfect Coachella glasses. Boston’s own CNCPT boutique just got their hands on some, the […]

The 'Dripping Aviators' from Ann-Sofie Back

Ann-Sofie Back has made the dripping sunglasses she premiered in last fall’s runway show into an aviator style set for the Spring 2010 season. As of now, I’m not exactly sure what I think. To state the obvious, they just look as if you left them on the dashboard of your car in the middle […]


The Yuri sunglasses collection, designed by the Berlin-based Mykita for Romain Kremer, is an exercise in the eccentric. There isn’t much information out about this batch of German ingenuity, but I could wager a guess that this piece of head gear will be all the rage in the competitive sports arena. That’s right, the Yuri […]


Known for their somewhat flamboyant style, Maison Martin Margiela have just released their Spring/Summer 2010 Collection, which include the Icognito Assemblé models above. And as bespoke as these are, they’re still restrained when compared to earlier collections (see 2 earlier models below and after the Jump) which had decidedly 80s-futuristic TRON-like styling elements. For Spring/Summer […]
