D&G eyeglasses 4062 in Shiny Sanded Brown. $130 with free shipping. Frame available in 3 colors, 2 sizes. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the D&G of fashion fame and D&G eyewear including the stunning collection of D&G sunglasses, took inspiration from familiar territory—sunny southern Italy—for their chic and youthful collection. These D&G eyeglasses reflect local pride, classical references and modern chutzpa, all bound together with healthy sex appeal. These designers attacked the sunny scene. Since the late 70s, Dolce and Gabbana transformed the tacky into fashion -- slashed, cropped and shredded, brining energy and vision to the fore. Pieces appeared alone as very mini dresses, or came paired with baseball jackets cut bust-high, vividly colored sheer chiffon ponchos and shredded tight jeans. Other looks included tiny bras and loose, drapy silk tops, combat microshorts and ruffly minis. There were glamorous oversized glasses and gold baseball caps to ward off those intense Mediterranean miay rays and, for strolling around town, what must surely be the season's cheeriest footwear: sneakers on built-up rainbow platform soles worthy of '70s funkster George Clinton. Meanwhile, at their salon, the pair known as Dolce & Gabbana, continue to burn up the fashion world. Here are found the their enduring themes: curvaceous dresses, hourglass suits, masculine and feminine tailoring, amazing embellished coats and jeans. Now, with the turn of the century, their eyewear remains the measure of the fashionable from Cannes to Monte Carlo whether outside or in. D & Gframes are made in Italy and we order them from there. While we may have some in stock, many frames take two or three weeks to reach us. Many of our customers find these frames are so exceptional, both in quality and design, that they are willing to wait. We ask your indulgence. |

Alain Mikli eyeglasses A0203 in Black. $380 with free shipping. Frame available in 6 colors, 1 size. Creative Inspiration of Alain Mikli EyewearIn 1978, Alain Mikli shook up the traditional optical sector by offering Alain Mikli eyeglasses which were both aesthetic and functional, creative and technically advanced. Photographed in fashion magazines, these Alain Mikli eyeglass frames were seen all around the world. For hardworking mornings and late nights out, they came to the fore as highly graphic objects; their development called for the work of a couturier, involving drawings, adjustments and fittings. A number of designers and couturiers came to him for their ranges of glasses. Disregarding both the fashionable and the unfashionable, Alain Mikli stands his ground; these are no longer the invisible glasses of the 1990s. He reaffirms glasses as the essential complement to the personality, adorning the facial expression, and talks about feeling a frame.My creation has become more fluid. I explain feelings to the people in my workshops, I give them tactile data, is how Alain Mikli puts it nowadays; he feels that glasses are primarily a form of self-affirmation. Now the mastery of his craft adds a new dimension - ergonomics - to these formal convictions. The gradual curve of the temples, the outward bend of their ends and the smoothly rounded curves at the ear reflect this intimate relationship with the face. What is making me progress, Alain Mikli adds, is technology. Now I can take my ideas through to their conclusion, with a perfect balance between the side-pieces, the front, and the sides. Hollowed out, curved, shaped, polished like a pebble, with an inward slope, facetted and fin-shaped, the side-pieces become tactile objects -sculptures, even - in his eye and in his hand.TECHNICAL INFORMATIONTemple Design [plastic frames]: The refinement and creation is up to the end of the temples. Shaped, polished, worked on, sometimes aggressive, sometimes sensual, round, always different, the temples become a very tactile object which we want to touch to really feel and appreciate its texture and work. The temple is curved over its full length starting from the point where it is joined to the front-piece. The curve of the temple is fully rounded over the ear in order to facilitate the adjustment process. The very tip of the temple is turned outwards so that it does not exert unnecessary pressure on the petrosal bone. Frames Arms [plastic frames]: All the frame arms in the Alain Mikli collection are notched. Since November 1993, we have been developing and patented this innovation. The advantage of this design is that it prevents the acetate from receding from the arm edge. Hinge Design: Each Alain Mikli frame is fitted with a special hinge which allows the regulation of the friction and adjusts the articulation of the temple. This hinge guarantees a better fitting of the screw than the traditional hinges. A ring in Delrin is fixed in the hinge from the f |
