Our ongoing collaboration with GetKempt was recently updated with sport shades.

Recently restocked one of our best selling mens eyeglass shapes from Hamburg Eyewear along with some new styles never seen in New York. Stop on by.

Ruby Dee, actress and activist for over half a century pictured below in some amazing frames and sunglasses.  They look amazing on her.

We have many styles of vintage brands that are large round shapes similar to those pictured here.

Long time customer and friend Steve Stoute brought Rihanna to Silver Lining last Thursday.  Amid a swarm of paparazzi, Rihanna shopped in the back, behind the closed curtain and made some amazing selections for her trip to London.

Zinna, our friend from way back, has been kind enough to enhance our shop with some of his beautiful floral designs from time to time.  Today was one of those days.  Check out today’s arrangement below.  If you don’t see Zinna spinning by you on his bike (usually overloaded with fresh flowers), you can contact us for his information.  Above, Zinna is wearing a vintage Persol 301 with a custom green lens.

This recent No Mas x Silver Lining project started me searching for more athletes that wore glasses. I stumbled upon Tom Bradley a Major League pitcher who wore prescription sunglasses on the mound. He is probably most famous for nicknaming Hall of Famer Rich Gossage “Goose” when they were roomates playing for the White Sox.

What a great shot of Francis Ford Coppola visiting George Lucas on the set of Star Wars. We just have to put a monocle on R2D2 and it would be perfect. May the force be with you.
