Something so cool about small metal sunglasses think Gary Oldman as Dracula. We have a large selection of small Ray Ban metals in unique shapes that fit this look. You know I’m going to be rocking a pair.

John Malkovich in 1984 via WWD

In an online feature today, WWD rereleased photos and a weird interview with John Malkovich.  I’m a huge fan, and noticed how he carries his glasses on his belt.  I wonder if we can bring this look back.

How a man should carry his glasses, or rather in what apparatus, is a question we’re determined to answer.  Look out for an upcoming eyewear case collaboration with this problem in mind!

Run This Town – Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West upcoming Video

Picture 6

We had a busy week preparing for the loans to Rihanna and Jay-Z for the video shot in NY for this song on Jay-Z’s upcoming album.  You can download the track free here.

Though we didn’t loan to Kanye this time, we hear from our wholesale client Jeffrey New York, that he picked up a bunch of pairs including two Cartier frames from their most recent buy from Silver Lining.

We can’t wait to see the final product and see what made it in the video.
