Karen Walker did the most outstanding campaign of SS14 campaigns. The Visible Collection was inspired and styled by Kenyan artisans. What’s best, the eyewear is presented not on typical models, but on local, Kenyan people who really know how to wear these glasses… Matched with braids, African jewellery and colourful attitude, the collection’s sale will go on Kenyan fundaution that will help improve the schools and things needed there. I simply can’t get enough of this.

Biarritz: SUPER
RETROSUPERFUTURE or shortly SUPER, is a fresh eyewear label from France known for it’s vintage styled shades and amazing printing of inside part in their frames! When I saw them yesterday in INTHEMIDDLE in Biarritz, I fell in love with all of them. From classic black sunglasses to white ones with marble inside part, there is a huge selection from which we can choose.
All of them are of course hand made in Italy and are worn by Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. And what most excited me about them, were… The printed boxes in which these sunglasses are kept!
Biarritz: Thom Browne X Dita
These mind blowing sunglasses, handmade in entirely Japan and taking inspiration from architecture and machinery of the mid-20th century, these come from Thom Browne in collaboration with California-based eyewear manufacturer, Dita. When I saw them, here in Biarritz, I was like wow! They look really amazing! And this vintage appeal… They are both in white and black- unisex.
