MYKITA - 2007 LOOKBOOK
Don't get your hopes too high, you can't have them yet... again. Excited about the newly added images on MYKITA's site, I could almost smell the acetate.
How naive of me. New delivery date is pushed back way into September.
That's OK, most of us at Spectacles for Humans will recover from this unexpected blow. Some folks however, will never be the same...
Meyer Eyewear Acetates - first pics!
Big fans of Meyer Eyewear, we at Spectacles for Humans waited impatiently to see what these guys do next. Known for their excellent design skills, the Meyers prove they know a good line when they see it.

Attention Lenscrafters shoppers
Luxottica, the parent company of Lenscrafters, buys Oakley Group for...a modest sum of 2.1 billion.
We say, the hell with Oakley, we never cared for that over-worked out, "Hello, I am on Prozac" look anyway. But what does it mean to consumers, especially those still hung up on Oliver Peoples and Paul Smith?
Yes, if you still don't know, Oakley Group bought Oliver Peoples not too along ago, inheriting at the same time the license to distribute Paul Smith Eyewear. Both tired has beens, OP and PS were never known for their creativity or quality and have not seen a fresh brush stroke in years and as such they will make perfect addition to Lenscrafters' line up of over exposed and peripheral brands.

Kungsbacka
The Meyers love to name their frames after places they have been to and with Charlotta Meyer being charmingly Swedish, it's no wonder the names of the towns like Kungsbacka, Trondheim or Sundsval pop up in their collection.
Until she chose Meyer's model Kungsbacka, Yvonne, a busy gal and a fine diamond expert, had no connection to Sweden. We suspect bucolic images of Swedish countryside will be following her every time she wears her new frames.

Disappearing fast
Karen wears THAKOON sunglasses by ALEKPAUL.
TK500 is a stylish take on a classic wraparound shape that will not make a girl look she is out jogging with Terminator (girls, give that look a rest already). Instead, subtle and sophisticated details together with softly colored, faded lenses will complete the look and keep your sexy on the front burner.

Orgreen fan mail
"I just received the Orgreen Hercules frames in Gold Elektro, and well, all I can say is WOW !!!
These frames are just gorgeous and the color is "breath-taking". I especially admire the black color inside which really accentuates the outside colors so much more. You have pumped up my glasses addiction to a higher level. Hats off to the Orgreen design team for such an innovative and appealing work of eyewear art."

Chips ahoy
Custom color chips from Oliver Goldsmith are here!!!
As soon as few minor details are worked out, Spectacles for Humans will start offering customized frames from Oliver Goldsmith.
Wearing a pair of OG sunglasses is a life changing experience. Having a bespoke frame made just for you by a gang of potbellied craftsmen, is in the same league with space travel.
Choose a style. Choose a color. If resizing is needed, add another Benjamin, and you're on our list to be submitted to Robin Leach's program director.

CUTLER & GROSS
We took a second, extensive look at entire Collection of Cutler and Gross yesterday.
Lots of awesome vintage and vintage insipred material, but we have to pause for now. Local politics don't permit us to engage on full scale.
Great line though! Manufacturing origin cloud kind of hangs over our heads, as in " I don't knowfor sure where it's made" , but Gabriel the Rep, classically trained Optician from France, is a great guy and knows what he's doing. I'd love to work with him someday.
For now, if you see it somewhere else, try it on. Stuff is hot!

At about the same time, fingers crossed, we shall be receiving newest metal styles, including intriguing DOGMA additions to Collection No.1.
