I have a crush. And it’s on a pair of glasses. Have you seen the new Leith Clark x Warby Parker Collection? It is pure and utter vintage goodness and I cannot get enough of these tasty bubblegum frames. Designed by fashion hero, Leith Clark (you’ve seen her work in Harper’s Bazaar UK, Italian Vogue and Lula Magazine) the collection is the epitome of 1960s nerdy teen – think one part Moonrise Kingdom, one part Marilyn in How to Marry a Millionaire.
“I like the 1960s, librarians, nerdy girls. I like glasses you had when you were a kid – or that your dad wore when you were a kid – and wearing them now. I like Bergman. Big thick glasses on a little, tiny face. When there are etchings or engravings or magically-made materials. I like pearls, brass, opera glasses. Everything being all violet. I like seeing the world with a pretty pink tint to it.” –
The collection is brought to life by screenwriter and actress in the most perfect way. My favourite is the Aurora Daughter of Pearl above – absolutely stunning. The whole collection is available online and each pair is $145USD. As always with Warby Parker, buy a pair and another pair goes to someone in need. And at this time year, ensuring that those who need, receive – I can’t think of a better cause – sight.
