How bored we are of those nineties-style minimalist, rimless, frameless, 'invisible' glasses - and how much we all want to buy some like Barbara's from the Good Life. Thick, heavy, elaborate frames are back - and the geekier the better. Which is why fashion folk are flocking to pick up new frames from The Eye Company's slick Wardour Street store. T.E.C. don't do mock trendy; their frames are all fabulously cool and original. Labels include Alain Mikli, IC Berlin, Zero RH+, Frederic Beausoleil, as well as vintage 1950's styles and - for music lovers out there - frames made from melted down 12" vinyl. Brings new meaning to putting a record on. |
