The Distillery Sees Berlin

Covert Affairs a sexy new TV show came to Spectacle recently looking for a sexy new location to shoot some scenes for their second season.

We were happy to help and before we knew it our Distillery District location was turned into Berlin, Germany. With our very own Eric smack dab in the middle of it all.

Das is good yeah!

Thanks Covert Affairs and Don Cornelius the location scout with soooooul, Spectacle Loves You

Spectacle Loves Tom Ford

Tom Ford has put out a plethora of designs this season as bold and sexy as the man himself, take a look

Tom Ford Nico - A modern cats eye and the poster piece for his spring/summer 2011 collection

Tom Ford Ace - This shield can be rocked by both ladies, as a sleek over-sized sunnie or by gentleman looking to add something different to the look (check em out on LeBron James in GQ)

Tom Ford Campbell - A Tom Ford twist on the Ray Ban Wayfarer. This classic design is good for a casual jeans and t-shirt day and also awesome when you wanna dress it up with a dark suit.

Tom Ford Ali- The hands down staff fav from this year. These frames require a certain amount of gusto to wear em but boy do they look fantastic in the uber over sized glamorous way.

The Tom Ford collection in all its fashionable excellence is available at Spectacle's 752 Queen St W and 3342 Yonge St boutique's and at our Distillery District location by viewing because Spectacle Loves You

Spectacle Loves The Flip Up

Our very own in house model Eric took some time recently to show off our in house flip-up that we can customize to fit most any shape of spectacles.

Eric had one made for his Oliver Peoples NDG-1 and the results were outstanding in every way.

See for yourself.

Thanks Eric, Spectacle Loves You

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
