Chloe Sevigny Loves Opening Ceremony

Hollywood "It Girl" Chloe Sevigny, has been teaming with uber chic American retail giant Opening Ceremony since 2007 on a variety of projects, this year she focused some of her attention to designing a sunglasses line, and we are giving them big love (ha ha ha).

We promised you that we would be debuting an exclusive collection with Barton Perriera a few blog posts ago and voila this is it.

Chloe designed them for Opening Ceremony and Barton Perreria was quick to jump on board and produce her creations, a triple threat of excellence if ever there was one.

Our buddy Rae from Salt and Pepper stopped by on her way home from work and loved this collection so much she had to be the first to grab one, even before they hit the shelves of our Queen St W flagship.



The collection is comprised of 3 models taking inspiration from a Andy Warhol's old muse Candy Darling

Check out the models below

Spectacle Yonge St. Loves David Yurman.

American jewelry designer David Yurman is known for having his creations seen on some of the most famous faces on earth. Everyone from Kate Moss, Ashely Olsen, Naomi Watts and even Brad Pitt have been photographed in a Yurman ring, bracelet or earrings.

Since we launched his eye and sunwear collections last year DY's frames have made their way onto an even more exclusive group, the Spectacle family of clients.

Today Jordan and Stephen aka team Yurman were up at Yonge St to show off the newest pieces David has come up with.




After some careful selecting we put together an order for some beautiful frames guaranteed to look as good on your face as they do on our boards.



Next time you find yourself in the north end stop by Spectacle at 3342 Yonge St and try on a pair.

Random Saturday Hijinks

We had a wack of clients in this Saturday, but we still had time to enjoy each others company.


No matter how many times we tell him, Darren is still under the impression he can learn how to be a better Optician through osmosis.


Jeff even snuck in a pic of himself with our beloved Audrey.

Winter Wonderland

Even though we're well into January, I thought I'd throw up some festive pics of our Distillery District location.



Spectacle in Building 53, has to be my favorite location. The jovial atmosphere, neighboring food vendors and galleries make for a great escape from the dull gray skies of January.



For a real treat, try the Boxing day sandwich at the Brick St. Bakery ... a staff favourite!!
