Why shouldn’t the “windows of your soul” be closed to others when you want them closed? Be relaxed and easy in crowds-lose that self-consciousness. Introducing a very weird ad from an occult catalog (1960s) by a company called De Laurence. They specialized in devotional materials for the mystic & research equipment for the psychic. They were also selling mirrored lens sunglasses called the “Wise Boy”. Watch for Silver Lining’s “Wise Boy” this spring 2010.
We always love working with Jay-Z, and he really upped his game with something a little more obscure than what he’s been seen in recently. For his “On to the Next One” video he is wearing a Persol Ratti 802 from our collection. This is a rarity we’re lucky to have a few of.
Kanye West and Amber Rose resurface in Europe wearing matching Air Jordans and Amber took over Kanye’s Alitalia Sport 550. Maybe they’re merging into one? This image is from dirtylittlestylewhore.
I love the gentleman pictured above from Mister Mort. The glasses on his face are such a great strong shape with a horizontal fade where the bridge is clear and the temples are black. Don’t see many things on the market like this today. And his lavender tint–that’s a custom color (matches the ribbon on his hat). And notice the readers around his neck for a little added functional bling.
Mordechai Rubinstein is a legend in the making. His blog, Mister Mort, chronicling his fashionable findings while meandering around the Upper East Side, or Park City (as he is now for Sundance) is all original photography and showcases a perspective definitely his own.
We’re happy to count Mordechai amongst our good friends at Silver Lining.
Maeve has been one of our best friends and biggest supporters for almost a year now. She also lives upstairs and visits often. Above she’s wearing a vintage Dior 2461 in all gold.
We just put this frame and the same model in black live in our online shop. Check out Maeve’s amazing array of styling ventures (Jay-Z, Rihanna, etc). Her whole portfolio is online here.
Today is the 75th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s birthday with huge celebrations planned in Memphis & Tokyo. The King can be rest assured that we will be “Taking Care of Business” in 2010.
Jon Gray wearing the Silver Lining Henri frame in Blue
Our good friend Jon Gray came by the other day to pick up some new glasses and show off his amazing new video featuring his clothing line. The video is top notch, featuring great effects showing off the prints, New York scenery like Harlem and La Esquina. We were honored to provide the eyewear for the endeavor and are so pleased with the results. Check out the whole video on Jon’s site.
Below are some screen shots featuring the frames he used in the video. For real–check it out.
