Orgreen Loves Copenhagen

Eyewear companies and designers in general seem to be always trying to gain inspiration from the cities and countries they come from.

Think of Garret Leight and his Venice Beach California inspired spectacles or Ic! Berlin and their sleek sheet metal frames with modern screw-less hinge that is oh so German in its construction.

The fine folks at Orgreen Denmark have taken this idea to the next level with the release of their Skyline Series.

For this totally unique collection of both eye and sunglasses they have cut out the outline of the city of Copenhagen on the temples, check it out............

Now take a look at how the temple design compares to the real deal.

We think they nailed it with both the concept and construction of these frames which is why Spectacle is happy to house the Skyline Collection at our 752 Queen St W flagship and if Orgreen ever comes out with a Toronto model you know we'll be all over that too!

Thanks Orgreen, Spectacle Loves You

Paul Smith Loves Summer

Sir Paul Smith, he of the spectacles collection baring his name has gone on vacation for the summer (see photo above)

That does not mean however that his Spring/Summer 2011 designs have stopped working it oh so well, as they have been doing ever since their release.

While Sir Paul is off enjoying some fun in the sun lets enjoy the beautiful frames he crafted for us before his well deserved holiday.

Celebs Love Thierry Lasry

We've noticed a plethora of celebrity types in Theirry Lasry lately, in fact a trifecta of lovely ladies have been rocking various TL frames in black and looking quite sophisticated doing so, take a look see.....

Here is Alica Keys in the Attracty which accurately describes both her and the frame!

Dita Von Teese isn't kidding around in the TL Lively, she is serious about her style and the results are paying off in spades.

Nicole Richie is one chic mama in the Vulgary. Hold on to those frames girl, your little daughter can still wear them in a few years they're timelessly classic

Spectacle is currently housing the Thierry Lasry collection in all colors at our 752 Queen St W flagship because Spectacle Loves You

Action Man Now With Mini Mistinguett Sunglasses and Kung Fu Grip

Oliver Goldsmith's skilled sunglasses design team has really out done themselves this time.

As part of a charity auction for Help for Hero's as organized by Men's Health Magazine they have created a pair of mini mistinguetts shades to outfit a doll resembling "Action Man" the star of the first Men's Health movie. Check out the video above to watch the creation of this super styling little guy.

The mistinguettes look great in full size as well as seen on Mr Fredwreck the director of Snoop Dogg's latest video. Check him out in a doggumentary interview below.



And of course they look fantastic on the shelves of Spectacle's 752 Queen St W flagship boutique just waiting for someone to come in and try them on.......

Thanks Oliver Goldsmith, Spectacle Loves You
