INSIDE STORY

Eyewear inside eyewear. Such is the multilayered brilliance of Blake Kuwahara.

ROHE from Blake Kuwahara Eyewear

A Whirl of OPtions

Never “type” cast luxury by style, color or character. And… always note the supreme presence and impact of a frame’s heritage as Our Eyewear continues to lead in the royal treatment.

OSAKA from Lafont (on her); PAUL SMITH Devonshire 8233U from Oliver Peoples (on him)

Rainbow Bridge

A veritable Armani of colors. For those times when nothing but the full palette will do.

GIORGIO ARMANI 8036 from Luxottica (on her)

Keys to the Ford

Note that golden gated bridge there. Golden opportunities abound in that subtle keyhole, and Tom’s terrific when it comes to finding those definitive best steps.

TOM FORD Franklin 346 from Marcolin (on him)

New Flight Pattern

A classic aviator pushed to the sublime limit of luxury with absolute first-class detail accommodations.

MATSUDA 3040 from Matsuda Eyewear

Clip-tastic

You actually read it here first a year or few ago: Clips have clawed their way back into style (and FUNction) in a great way, and BP shows that this clip trip can be paved in deluxe style.

FREY from Barton Perreira (on him)

The Kirk inside

From its personalEYEzed lion icon on the front face to coloration known and owned only by the Kirks, THIS eyewear says… Jason is BACK. And he brought his main squeeze with him.

ELEANOR from Kirk & Kirk (on her)

Emerald Eye’ll

In a bouquet of shades, green roams and rules the new realm of luxury eyewear most allured and loved by women.

VERA WANG Zlata from Kenmark

Where the Buffalo Hone

That special and exclusive opti-prairie reserved for the niche and frame-us.

SERAPHIN Gleason from Ogi Eyewear

Riveting

Such delux-ious side studding demands exquisite taste… and… just the right coloration.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN 4265 from Sàfilo

Into the Thick of It

There’s bold and then there’s BOLD… as is this confident statement of SUNsational shades making a spectacle of a grand eyewear tradition: the fade, here from tortoise to… RED.

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO 771 from Marchon Eyewear

Round ’bout Midnight

The “new” round is… not-quite-round. But… quite rightly it encompasses a whole wide world of elegance and refinement rather than face-shock value. And make sure to note that clip-that’s-not-a-clip Johnny V delivered as his sun-setter.
