The Distillery Loves Ic! Berlin's Power Law
Ic! Berlin's Power Law sunglasses have just been nominated for the Silmo d'or 2011, which is given out each year in Paris for the best designed frames.
We at Spectacle can see why, one look at these shades and it was love at first sight especially for the team at Spectacles Distillery District who can't stop raving about this thing.
The rest of the Spectacle Universe has heeded their cry and now the Ic! Berlin Power Law is available at all three Spectacle locations along with a lot of other awesomeness from the rest of the collection.
Why? Because Spectacle Loves You, that's why!

Spectacle Loves Prada
Prada just unleashed this super futuristic video for their fall/winter 2011/2012 collection of clothing and sunwear
From the ultra cool 3D to some of the clothes and glasses shown we are big fans as it is nice to see a big fashion house doing something different.
The Prada collection is housed at all three Spectacle locations because, Spectacle Loves You.

Sam James Loves Spectacle
In just a short time award winning baristo and all around swell guy Sam James has left his mark on Toronto
The proprietor of two coffee bars barring his name, Sam is a man who likes to serve things up his own way.
While visiting his pals at Spectacles West Queen West flagship the other day Sam took some time to model a vintage pair of Cazal 902's for us. The results were as fresh and as hot as a cup of java, if we do say ourselves.
Keep brewing beautiful things Sam, Spectacle Loves You

Spectacle is Mad About Theo!
We've been indulging our sweet tooth at Spectacle on Yonge Street with some of the sweetest eye candy you've ever seen! There's nothing that compares to Theo, renowned Belgian purveyors of bold and beautiful frames.
In addition to our delicious window display, we've got a wide selection of this diverse line in-store. From vibrant colours to warm subdued tones - luscious and bold acetate shapes to subtle titanium, there is a Theo frame for every face and every taste.
The semi-rimless Chapeau frame in blue (left), is a conservative approach that gives a glimpse of just how diverse Theo can get even in their titanium line, especially when seen next to the bold and brilliant Cinquante+quatre (right).
Theo has built a reputation on vibrant and robust designs like the Bianchi (left) and the epic cat's eye shape that is the Soixante-un (right). Few designers offer the range of colours that Theo produces for each design, whatever your pallet, Theo has your flavour!
To try on some more flavours by Theo, pop by Spectacle on Yonge street, just north of Lawrence Avenue...just be sure to bring your sweet tooth!
And for more styles and info, check out our earlier posts here and here!

Spectacle Loves West Rock Art Metal
When we stepped out of our shop at this years Distillery Art Show we were instantly captivated by the large metal steed directly to our left.
Check our the horse and its creator for yourself.............
Ruta Wilson aka West Rock Art Metal is located in Owen Sound and specializes in transforming glass and recycled metal into art for your home and garden.
You can check out more of her work here we love the concept and design of her work. Now its just a matter of which Spectacle staffer has room in their solarium for that horse?
Thanks Ruta, Spectacle Loves You!

The Thin White Duke rocking a very cool pair of vintage round specs in his 1969 video for Space Oddity.
Even in the glasses world design trends always seem to come back around again.
