The public is more familiar with bad design than good design.

It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with.

The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.

We've had these sleek watering cans from Born In Sweden instore for several months now, but I finally brought a red one home for my use. Figured if I had something so fantastic to remind me to water my small plants, they might actually have a chance of survival!
So far, so good...

Our Sights on L.A. Eyeworks
Oh Wood Eye! These frames have a finish that feels and looks like wood.
Oh Wood Eye! These frames have a finish that feels and looks like wood.
We've always had a mad crush on L.A. Eyeworks and the visionary crew behind the brand. That whole "visionary" thing is no pun either--they really fit the bill as one of the few fashion-related brands with a truly design perspective. I'm always a wee reluctant to attach the f-word to them, in fact, because despite the edgy insight, L.A. Eyeworks transcends 5-minute trends with frames that are, for lack of a better term, modern classics.

We met with fab co-founder Gai Gherardi and her equally fantastic cohorts Angela Gee and Brent Zerger at company HQ yesterday to talk shop, literally: L.A. Eyeworks will be part of the marvelous new lines we will be introducing at the super-sized A+R store in Venice that we are aiming to open in the next month or so.
With the guidance of Gai and the team, Andy and I put together two capsule collections that are very A+R. Among our selections were frames made with a breakthrough acetate treatment--the surface is scored to look and feel like wood grain. I love the off-white version because it looks a bit like bone.
Can't wait for you to see them.

The sunglasse looks really fantastic. The design and color is also attractive. The frame is looking somewhat old fashion.
