Lunettes London featuring 1980s Anglo American big yellow frames

Lunettes London offers probably one of the best value destinations on the web to purchase exciting genuine eyewear.

Here we feature some pictures from its latest shoot, but the final picture comes from the Lunettes London ASOS Marketplace: a pair of Anglo American vintage yellow oversized frames.

While big frames are without doubt on the up, this pic shows we have some way to go before we match the 1980s - only £48!!

Erna glasses in Havana brown and gold dust by Fleye

'Erna' in Havana brown and gold dust landed Danish eyewear designer Fleye an  iOFT Eyewear of the Year 2012 award in the ladies glasses category. We particularly like the detail where the nosepad wire is threaded through the bridge. 

Booth & Bruce goes massive in claret and candy

"Organised chaos" is one way Booth & Bruce describes itself on its website, but as can be seen the finished product is far from chaotic. Organised, certainly. Very simple, great quality frames; this is just one of 12 new styles for 2012... Model No. P044.

Garrett Leight sunglasses as worn by Shiva Shabani

Fashion stylist Shiva Shabani wears Garrett Leight California Optical sunglasses. I'm guessing at the specific model, but I think it's Rialto LNA in demi-blonde.

Garrett Leight is son of Larry Leight, he who co-founded Oliver Peoples. Look out for another post on GLCO soon - it's a great collection!

Massive respect to R3SP3CT for the photo of Shiva.

Trend-watch: glasses without lenses - big ones

This whole glasses-without-lenses thing takes some getting used to, but to get an idea of where things are going this is a great picture, courtesy of utter-chaos.

Cheap Monday eyewear - "Open your third eye"

Where've I been? Paris. Back now, with more pictures of glasses... good ones... including previews of styles for 2011. We begin with Cheap Monday, the Scandinavian clothing brand which also makes some supercool glasses. These are Triquetra; a good combination of rounded and angled lines....

Christian Dior vintage 1970s shades - now these are designer sunglasses!

The 1970s were a special age in eyewear design. These are Christian Dior 2026, available from the newly revamped Cheaters of London website as new-old stock.

Unidentified sunglasses with hat at a Vienna flea market

It's been a while since I've done some posts of eyewear when I don't know what it is. This terrific photograph was taken by Tomorrow's Cheese in at a flea market, which probably means these are vintage shades. But, as always, I'm open to suggestions...

A Prism glasses story that broke my heart

I love Prism glasses. Mainly because they look terrific, but also because the company had the balls to go launching glasses without restricting themselves to opticians to sell them.

So I felt much saddened to hear the story of Susie Bubble, a fashion blogger (one of the best according to Mrs EWG) who can spot stylish frames from a mile-off - but, sadly, only when her sight is corrected. The things is folks if your prescription is high, or even just highish, larger frames may not accommodate the lenses you need to spot the cool glasses on the shelf.

I happened to be out with a few opticians on Saturday night - anyone suggest a solution? Susie, if you're reading, get scrolling downward to see if there's anything you like. What about some green translucent Cutler & Gross frames?

Here's Susie in her Prisms:

It's no yolk: 2010 is the year for big, round sunglasses

This picture was taken in Mississippi by Jellymon. Not sure who the sunglasses are by, but they're 2010 alright.

White and black glasses - unidentified

Anyone know who these great glasses are by? Thanks to Histyley for the great photo.

Spectacles should be big - IC! Berlin show the way

I love these glasses by IC! Berlin, another terrific German brand.#

Slowly but surely the common people are realising that letterbox-shaped styles are a thing of the past and big, Jarvis Cockeresque are where it's at.

These are confusingly named Nameless 12.
