Style Crush - The perfect chic geek

A few weeks ago we visited the 'Vintage at Southbank' festival to grab some street style snaps of london vintage lovers in specs. We weren't dissapointed! Everyone had made such an effort with their outfits and there was some very inspiring vintage eyewear on show. My favourite snap of the day was of Annie (she looks like an annie doensn't she). A masterclass in simple styling with a twist, I loved her matching white frames and home made peter pan collar. 
It seems we weren't the only one to notice this stylish lady - I also spotted her in the new issue of grazia this week. Winning look - we agree!

Different Ways of Looking at Things



I like the way the view from the bottom of the staircase looks like the eye's iris!

Finding Visual Connections or Identifying New Trends?


I have been going through some pictures I took whilst in Florence in January earlier this year. I saw so many really interesting people and interesting glasses outside of the more established trends in the market. I like this girl’s glasses and in particular the geometric pattern on the surface of the frame!

This reminded me of these interiors by architects Lecarolimited
The mirrors of different shapes and sizes create geometric patterns

I sometimes can’t avoid making visual connections, this has been, at least up until now, the way I have been detecting new trends and looked for inspiration. However since the way we design and look for inspiration is evolving, the process of making these connections may become less relevant as more and more people express their own individual personality and therefore reject homogenisation and trends all together. Does this mean making visual connection becomes less relevant? Unless they actually inspire people as opposed to dictating what they should be wearing…What do you think?

Let the Colour Crash

It is pretty much amazing, we were lucky enough witness to the production colouring process.   
Love the colour crash and can't wait to see it on the glasses.....
