SALT glasses. it is pretty hard to resist the undefatiguable combo of handcrafted-in-japan x generously-letterspaced-sans-serif-all-caps-brand x period-in-the-brand-because-they're-the-best-period. these in particular (the dasha model) look like the kind of dog you'd like to own someday, and pose with in matching prescription glasses.
moo piyasombatkul glasses. let's face it at some point in life you realize "i want to adorn my eyes like i would a peacefully rococo home, with scrolly moulding and flourishes".
(this may not actually be rococo. please give me a heads-up, i'm not the most informed re: art history and didn't quite know what to call this.)oliver peoples x the soloist glasses. really like the metal bits folded over the joints between the sides and the front, it's a kind of old-man-retired-from-steampunk-cosplaying-y.
prada s/s 2011 womenswear. "hello i'm wearing 60's swim goggles" (1, 2) + "madame butterfly's eyebrows are flying away from her face" (3). as a sidenote, the models in this runway showing had a heavy block of silver eyeshadow directly below their eyebrows (4), and i first thought they were floating sunglasses and was so enchanted. if
sknss doesn't continue her thread-creation-monopoly i would like a runway makeup thread, i think, and may make it.
karen walker (number one) sunnies. the whole angular polygonal-edges cateye thing is pretty awesome.
céline s/s 2013 sunnies for extra angular-cateye deliciousness
lanvin s/s 2013 (i think) along similar lines as the last two headlines, but i feel the metal wire looping on the side is kind of cool. i confess i'm a little upset that i don't have enough examples (only this + the oliver peoples x the soloist ones above) to start a pinboard of "eyewear with little metal-y bits".
miu miu "catwalk noir" sunnies because i decided to go and hunt down "eyewear with little metal-y bits" anyway.
marc by marc jacobs f/w 2013–14. women's (1, 2) and men's (3). i think the variegated colour/pattern fills are so lovely
thematically-relevant although not really what this thread was going for:
a girl wearing sunnies with a sunnies-printed skirt!
there's another céline pair i'm having issues finding a picture of and it's driving me crazy, so i guess i'll leave off here.
