Spectacle Is Best of The City

The uber intelligent folks at Toronto Life Magazine have come out with their annual "Best of The City" list and we are honored to be the only optical shop in town mentioned.

It was a vintage a-symetrical Cazal 0867 that caught the panel's eye and garnered us this most prestigious distinction, check out the frame in question below.....

With an unparalleled selection of both current and retro frames plus our total commitment to customer service we feel Spectacle is the best in Toronto and the country at what we do.

Thanks for the pub Toronto Life, Spectacle Loves You

Madonna and Elle Love Thierry Lasry

Spectacle has noticed that one of the newer members of our family of frames seems to be everywhere these days, as a result we have crowned Thierry Lasry the unofficial King of Summer 2011.

Elle Magazine's July issue features the Obsessy in bright red. This sexy sunny has been a shop and client favorite all season long.

Here is Madonna out and about enjoying a summer stroll in her TL Livleys, you know once Madge is up on something its gotta be hot.

And here are both of those frames on the shelves of Spectacle's West Queen West flagship just waiting for you to try them on because Spectacle Loves You.

50 Cent Loves Mosley Tribes

If any of you keen Spectacle spotters out there have caught 50 Cent's guest appearance in Nicole Scherzinger's ‘Right There’ video you'll be sure to notice he is rocking a staple of our proverbial "Spectacle Style" the Mosley Tribes Enforcer.

Spectacle has been showcasing this fine frame since it first appeared on the scene oh so many seasons ago.

Available in about as many colors as 50 has chains, some with polarized lenses and some with photochromatic lenses that get darker when exposed to the sun's natural UV but, no matter which color you go with you'll be looking fresh to death just like you stepped outta the candy shop (pun intended)

Spectacle Loves S+ARCK

Spectacle's love affair with creative French designer Philippe Starck has been going strong for a few years now and this seasons collection hasn't changed that one bit.

All of Philippe's frames are collaborations with Alain Mikli and come with the patented "Starck hinge" based on the human shoulder and shown off in the video below.



If that wasn't enough to blow your mind and make you run to your nearest Spectacle to try on a pair here is Tina and Ruth showing us that Starck isn't just for the fellas anymore, looking good girls.

The Starck Eyes collection is available at all three Spectacle stores, because Spectacle Loves You

Chrome Hearts - Mydixadryll

For a designer style that's as timeless as the Distillery neighbourhood itself, one of the latest offerings from Gucci, the 3138/S looks at first glance like a vintage frame circa 1960. A clear front and light touches of blue and silver on the temples complete the look.
