LINDA FARROW SPRING/SUMMER COLLECTION 09
"Marked by a series of designer collaborations, the Linda Farrow collection of sunglasses has the latest to present in their 2009 spring/summer collection. Bringing to the table an eclectic mix of designers yields both some outlandish as well as more conservative styles. All-in-all, we see the works of Raf Simons, Jeremy Scott &Sophia Kokosalaki over various models."
Available at Oki-Ni.
One of my favourite designers hands down.

ZANZAN LIMITED EDITION SUNGLASSES
The French sunglass line, Zanzan, looks to pay homage to the “beatniks” & “glitterati” of past with their latest collection of limited edition sunglasses. Each model are limited to 100 pairs worldwide.
“Inspiration is taken from the cabals of subculture style elites in the ’60s and ’70s, groups that were effortlessly cool and holistically different.”

*STYLE CHECK* INVESTIGATING THE ROUND EYEWEAR
The hot eyewear look of 2008 was pretty much defined by plastic Wayfarer knockoffs, garish neon trapezoids often seen color-coordinated with a plaid shirt and sneakers. Or else it was “shutter shades,” those ventilated blinders popularized by Kanye West.
This summer, however, the memo for sunglasses says circles are in. Very round shapes, as round as goggles in some cases, appeared in the recent women’s collections of Marc Jocabs & Proenza Schouler and, for men, from Rapoh Lauren, Zegna and Lanvin (most costing from $300 to $400). Last month, New York magazine included round sunglasses among the anticipated trends of the summer. And, as predicted, they are already appearing on the streets in numbers not seen since the release of the last Harry Porter book.
While most fashion trends — and especially this one — are circular, round sunglasses, seemingly everywhere all at once, provide a case study of the group-think mentality of the fashion industry. There are even inexpensive examples ($10 to $11) at Urban Outfitters and Fred Flare.
Given that there is no obvious source for the revival and that typically it takes more than a year to develop expensive sunglasses from a design to prototype to salable object, how could it be that all of these designers stumbled upon the same idea at the same time?

“Ray-Ban RB 3136 Caravan, with gold metal frame and G15-XLT lens. This is an all-time American classic, less common than the wayfarer, every bit as good.”

CREZ EYEWEAR PREVIEW
From HypeBeast:
"Having handled the eyewear creation for fellow Australian brand Chronicles of Never for both 2009 spring/summer and 2009 fall/winter, Graeme Mulcahy also boasts a role as director of music for RAFW. As a drop out in his teens, this didn’t stop Graeme from going on to assume roles at respected Australian labels AM and Ksubi a few years later. In his own collection of Graz Eyewear previewed here, the styles are not far off from traditional shapes, however the re-appropriation and modifications are noticeable and exaggerated."
