I spend alot of time on the Internet looking for optical trends, eyecare opportunities, unique products to showcase on either one of our sites. Thought I would share with you a few sites that are historical in perspective and really fun to view. Not too much text either, just great pics.
- Back in 2006 Robb Young wrote this great article on Eccentric Eyewear, showcasing some designers who have produced some really different eye-pieces for both runways and to wear. Interesting pieces from Cutler and Gross, MiuMiu, Alexander Yanyar, Dennis Roberts, Linda Farrow, Eley Kishomoto, Frost French, Bless, Ann-Sofie Back and Brian Adam
- Seeing Is Believing Article by Chicago Tribune- has a wonderful photo gallery of vintage, wacky and crazy eyewear going back thru the 40′s. I wish I knew who made all this wonderful pieces.
- Freaking News- A bunch of classic pictures of Abe Lincoln, Ben Franklin, George Washington and put some fun glasses on them. Cute and funny.
- Eley Kishimoto Blog, shows alot of funky eyewear- it’s old (2007) but interesting. I tried to find more updated eyewear from her, doesn’t appear to be much.
