Hall of Frames

Hollywood's ubiquitous, bicoastal jack-of-all-trades James Franco, typically into indie-hipster fashion fare, cleans up well in gold Gucci GG 2235/S aviators with a natural bamboo brow bar from Safilo. The sunwear frames Franco's angular face flawlessly and binds old and new Hollywood sun style ideals: classic and masculine plus eco-friendly materials on a celebrity that spans many classifications himself. Franco has carved out a distinct niche on the public creativity horizon, and he's bringing the allure of the sun-clad celebrity silhouette along with him. The actor, director, screenwriter, producer, teacher, author and all-around eccentric intellectual stands tall in a one-button tuxedo jacket and black satin tie on the red carpet earning his first honor in the Reporter's Notebook.
