Italian Luxury Sunglasses Makers See Dark Times Ahead

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News

man wearing dark aviatorsWhile only a few months ago it was easy to look at the luxury market with rose colored lenses, the outlook for two of Italy's top sunglasses is now starting to get a bit dark -- sunglasses at night dark, even. Both based in fashion-centric Northern Italy, Luxottica and Safilo produce some of the world's most popular and expensive eyewear for brands like Ray Ban, Prada, and Ferragamo. Ever since hard times have descended upon the fashion market, both companies have been really struggling to make ends meet.

The Ray-Ban wayfarer gets remixed for summer, we're still indifferent

Filed under: Accessories


As we mentioned earlier, we're not totally committed to wearing Ray-Ban wayfarers on our face this summer.

To sum up our sentiments about the phenomenon known as the wayfarer in a short and succinct matter, we would like to borrow a sentence from writer Hadley Freeman, whom recently wrote about the coveted frames:

"Many a poem, many a song, many an ode has been written about the human face, but I have yet to read one that suggests it might be improved by the addition of a pair of wonkily shaped plastic glasses in some kind of neon colour."

Ooh, Hadley. It's like you were reading our minds.

Sunglasses that fold, cooler than it sounds

Filed under: Accessories, Men

It's hard to beat a great pair of shades. Everyone knows that -- for whatever reason -- wearing glasses makes you appear smarter to others. I don't know if that applies to sunglasses, but I know for sure it applies to these. Ray Ban is re-issuing a limited-addition set of their iconic Wayfarer sunglasses -- and they fold.

I usually try to stay away from designs that have unnecessary parts that can break, but these are so cool that I can overlook the folding thing. These shades are classic and they have about the most impressive resume of any other model of men's sunglasses in fashion history -- aside from aviators maybe.

You can't go too far wrong when you're wearing the same shades as James Dean, JFK or Bob Dylan. You can even 1 up those dudes, because yours fold -- and they come with a leather carrying case.
