It's the trickle up effect I guess you could say. I've been seeing bespectacled beauties all over the place. Whether it's hipster Ray-Ban wayfarers or John Lennon specs everybody's got them. Now, in 2009 they're all over the runways. Regardless of whether you actually need them or not, they still look cool. There is something intellectual and timeless about glasses. As for Poor Jane, she's blind as a bat and mostly wears contacts. But there is just something that makes me feel professional about my eggplant purple Pradas.
Paul Smith makes amazing frames.
Some of my favorite famous lenses.
Iris Apfel
John Lennon
Buddy Holly
Mary Kate Olsen and her infamous white Ray Bans.
