One for our ocularly challenged brethren out there. If your eyesight isn’t up to scratch and your glasses very much prescription rather than unnecessary stylistic flourish, we feel your pain. Luckily, being far or near sighted means you get to don some smart frames and imagine you’re Bruce Boyer or Gandhi. The Sheldrake is inspired by another legendary spectacle wearer (and hair genius) Andy Warhol. The keyhole bridge is a nice touch and the range of colours available should satisfy any eyewear needs you might have. Over at Oliver Peoples.

We were gonna start off this post with a Kreayashawn reference but we can’t even pretend to like that nonsense. Instead we’ll just point out that these are some handsome shades and you should look handsome wearing them. (Forward)

These beautiful frames from Oliver People’s for Takahiromiyashita are made up of new and deadstock components. The addition of the clip on is a solid bonus. While not my personal color, the amber finish on the acetate and shape make them some of the strongest frames on the market today. Hoping they land outside the Japan market as well. S2W8 has them.

“Starring real life couple Devendra Banhart and Rebecca Schwartz, the premise of the Oliver Peoples 2011 campaign is an exploration of authentic intimacy and sexuality. The love affair is explored in the one-of-a-kind masterpiece by architect John Lautner: Rainbow House. The contemporary California setting proved to be a perfect atmosphere to showcase the natural chemistry of the young, intriguing couple. Produced with acclaimed photographer and aspiring director Lisa Eisner.”

Part of their Resort Collection, the Oliver Peoples offer a rectangular classic cut which deserves a second look. “Classic masculine sunglass handcrafted of polished acetate with a straighter top bar. features metal ridge detailing at the hinge notably seen on the Zooey and Maceo frames.

Oliver Peoples drops some looks at their forthcoming collaborative effort with the very in the now, Balmain line. “Consistent with the Balmain’s 2010 collections, the two unisex sunglass styles are bold statements with sleek and modern design elements. Both styles feature a straight, fluid top bar, teardrop lens shapes, and a slightly wrapped form. The Balmain 1 is a rock-inspired mixed media frame that utilizes an acetate frame front and smooth metal top bar. This style will be available in two color ways – all black and a black and silver combination. The Balmain 2 is a fresh interpretation of the classic double bridge aviator.”

The Oliver People’s Riley frames get an upgrade for Spring 2010. As Acquire mentions, “One piece from Oliver People’s Resort/Spring 2010 collection we thought deserves its own post was their Riley style which is getting an update with a retro clip-on sunglass lens which you may have seen Elijah Wood sporting in their latest campaign.” A classic look that will set you apart from the pack.
