See Eyewear

I had wanted to get a pair of mirrored sunglasses for the longest time, but I wasn't having an easy time finding any that thrilled me. I'm not sure why it hadn't occurred to me earlier that I could get regular frames made with mirrored lenses at the optometrist, but I'm glad it eventually did.

I recently had these guys custom made at See Eyewear. They have so many unusual frames to choose from (in EVERY color), so deciding which pair to insert shiny mirrored lenses into took me forever! I was there for at least a couple hours.

Michele Lamy, 1970's. Available at Eyewear Mebius

Michelle Lamy is a super cool individual. It's hard to find much history about her, especially related to the sunglasses. What's easy to discover is that she's Rick Owens'  wife, that she used to own Les Deux Cafes in Los Angeles, and that she has dyed black fingertips and gold plated teeth.

“TAXI” by Casanova Venezia, 1990's. Available at Solakzade

Unknown brand, 1990's. Available at Eyewear Mebius

Graffitis, 1960's. Available at Eyewear Mebius

Michele Lamy, 1980's. Available through 1st Dibs

These are off the hook. They remind me of a 1930's bakelite radio, reinterpreted by the animators of Beverly Hills Teens.
