Freja Beha Erichsen is also in this rather fine campaign:

Hot glasses action from Q-Tip (♥!!) and MNDR in the new Mark Ronson & The Business INTL video for Bang Bang Bang. I love MNDR’s style.

“WHERE’D YOU GET THEM GLASSES, GURL? Phoenix Optical in Oakland, California. The owner is a 40-year couture-eyewear designer. I became his buddy; he has 20,000 pairs of dead-stock and one-off eyewear.” – Read more about her glasses.

My friend Amber recently picked up her first ever pair of glasses. She chose a beautiful pair of Chloé frames from my favourite eyewear store in New Zealand, Occhiali.

They suit her so much. She looks gorgeous!

An interview with Jordan of Silver Lining Opticians:

Chloe Sevigny X Open Ceremony X Barton Perreira. Patty Perreira tells me the glasses were inspired by Warhol Superstar Candy Darling. It sounds like you’ll have to wait until January to get your hands on them. So much awesomeness in one collaboration:

I have no words. No words.

Barton Perreira’s 2010 range has a video featuring Giovanni Ribisi:

…and Oliver Peoples have Shirley Manson and Elijah Wood in a short film advertisement entitled ‘Les enfants sennuient le Dimanche’ (The children are bored on Sundays):

By now you’ve probably also seen Tom Ford’s latest advertisements with Nicholas Hoult (from one of my favourite TV shows, Skins) and model, Carolyn Murphy:

Y△CHT are playing in NZ next week! I’m really excited about their show and wanted to post about it here, so I’m going to connect it all back to sunglasses. Because I can!

Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans of Y△CHT wear super-choice sunglasses in the video for Psychic City (Voodoo City):

Claire is amazing. Not only does she wear the above sunglasses a lot (and admits to an obsession with round sunglasses), she writes about science (also here) and science fiction and is an artist who, amongst other things, made an animated .gif of Charles Babbage wearing sunglasses!

…be careful with the downloading and protect your eyes!

Share in my excitement by watching one of their music videos with eyewear in it!

I haven’t been able to get this song out of my head for the past few days. The video is full o’ sunglasses. Kanye is in Mosley Tribes FreeCity2 and Jay-Z is wearing Daddy B from Oliver Peoples.

Rihanna is wearing Barracuda from A-Morir, AKA Kerin-Rose. Apparently you can see through them – more info from High Snobiety.

I quite like these Superunknown frames from Initium’s ophthalmic collection.

I prefer them with clear lenses, but Robert Downey Jr. in Superunknown sunglasses and a bowtie? Oh, Robert, you’re so lovely. Watch him in James Toback’s Two Girls and a Guy right now if you haven’t seen it already. It’s amazing.

Jim Jarmusch’s latest, The Limits of Control is a damn fine movie.
It’s also full of well-chosen eyewear:

Blonde (Tilda Swinton!) in a pair of white Tom Ford Whitney

Nude (Paz de la Huerta)

Molecules (Youki Kudoh)

Creole & French (Alex Descas & Jean-François Stévenin)

Mexican (Gael García Bernal)

Guitar (John Hurt)

Violin (Luis Tosar)

Edit: Julia from Gogosha Optique has identified a lot of the pairs in her latest blog post.

I am a shameless fan of teen drama, Gossip Girl. Minor character, Nelly Yuki, has a different pair of glasses in just about every episode. I don’t think there’s ever been a fictional character so obsessed with eyewear. A girl after my own heart! The big round blue pair are my favourite.
