Giorgio Armani round classic glasses, for him and her
Every now and then one of the mainstream designer brands gets things right, so here Giorgio Armani glasses make their debut on EWG. Part of GA's "Frames for life" collection (i.e. you can live your life in them, rather than a rather bold life-time guarantee), he wears GA828 while she has on GA789.
Remember, people with glasses read – lots.

Tom Ford AW2010 glasses - what a carrion...
Tom Ford's AW2010 campaign images opt for a murder of crows rather than naked models. Well, I suppose it is autumn. These big black glasses are terrific. The bigger the better I say...

Lauren wears Claire Goldsmith's Watson glasses in deep sea
...Deep sea of course is the colour of theWatson frame Lauren has chosen from the Claire Goldsmith CG glasses collection, not a location, as that would require a diving mask. Thanks to the lovely people at Gogosha Optique in Los Angeles for the picture.

Super collaborate with WeSC - superlative sunglasses
Retro Super Future has collaborated with Swedish brand WeSC (WeAreTheSuperlativeConspiracy) to create these great black sunglasses. They come with black mirrored Zeiss lenses, with a spare set of rock-hard "pure black" lenses. Limited edition: 500 pieces.
Great bridge and clever incorporation of the WeSC logo at the hinge.

Mykita's Johann panto glasses - a 1930s frame, 80 years on
This terrific off-white frame from Mykita is reminiscent of the 1930s but with that clever hinge and ultra-thin stainless steel it is brought bang up to date. Part of Mykita's Decades collection, it is also available in chocolate and black.

Swann and Polen - two terrific frames from Face à Face
Two great frames - Swann with swan-like temples and Polen (top, allergy sufferers beware) - from another great French design house, Face à Face. I love the pink detail on the front of Polen - excellent.

Vintage 1980s aviator specs by Frederic Beausoleil
I'm loving this relatively complex design where the browline metal is holding the thread that secures the lenses to the frame; a simple shape with a detailed execution. Great square-sectioned temples too. They're by French designer Frederic Beausoleil.
