as some of you know, i am kind of obsessed with sunglasses. some of you also know i am picky about how they fit, and once i find the right pair, i am very loyal. and then i wear them to death, like my costume national's, until they are so scratched up i can barely see straight.
well, it's almost time for a new pair and while i am loving the autumn chill, i am already looking ahead to spring for THIS reason (see pic). raf simons has collaborated with linda farrow on a sunglasses collection and it is badder than ass. linda farrow was a huge deal back in the 70s when she introduced a collection in london and it took off in a big way. not sure how many people knew about it here, but it was major there (she pioneered yoko ono's signature wraparounds, and was an eyewear wholesaler for designers like sonia rykiel and balenciaga).
anyway, about five years ago her son found about a thousand of them in an attic somewhere (or something like that) and they were rediscovered and here they are.
i'm sure they're like $600 and belong in a case in which case -ha- i'm not sure i'm worthy.
they would look ridiculous on me, but they're fantastic. very Clockwork Orange. would you like to buy them for me?
THANK YOU and you have a lovely sunday, too.
