Moo Eyewear
From designer Moo Piyasombatkul in Thailand, a style from the fashion collection for Spring/Summer, Candy Baroque. The design uses a vintage frame with the addition of Moo’s custom-made baroque porcelain detailing. The gradient brown lenses have been chosen to match the vintage frame for a tone-on-tone effect. Piyasombatkul is a well known face at London and Paris fashion weeks and her frames are adored by some very select fashion circles. Find a wide choice of Moo’s styles at the savvy online store www.sunglasscurator.com, which specialises in fashion collections and leading creative designers, including Linda Farrow, Moo Eyewear and a-morir.

Linda Farrow Collaboration
Cat eyes are still a leading shape in sunwear and this slim and very pretty one catches my imagination, with its special silver-coloured stud work on a thick curved scalloped ridge. This is a piece by Linda Farrow for Agent Provocateur, London’s luxury lingerie emporium.
The frame comes in 6 colours of which three are brights, such as the matt pink pictured here and two are pastels (dark blush or champagne with gold); there is also a more restrained black for a different style of event or a nice trans-seasonal choice. Available online at www.lindafarrow.com CN

a-morir
Kerin Rose has become one very busy New York designer and her online store is a world of excitement and beauty! I like the neat eye shape and catty elegance of Mitchell, with its joyful orange neon pearls and Swarovski crystal cup chain embellishment. This, like the others by a-morir is a made-to-order piece….from around $350. The chic styling is also available in two other shapes, Redding and Hendrix, with yellow or pink neon trims. All three are investment pieces to delight the eyes and particularly those of the beholder – wild but totally wearable. More please Ms. Rose!

Oliver Goldsmith
First released in 1972, Colt is a reedition of an Oliver Goldsmith aviator style in metal – it is one of just two metal designs being relaunched by the OG team, and it has all the ingredients of one of those design classics, including the original OG buttons on the temple tips. This is no ordinary aviator. It is a prestigious design with all the quality traits of the acetates by Oliver Goldsmith that designer Claire Goldsmith so beautifully reinterprets and brings into a new era. A fashion crowd pleaser, for sure! www.olivergoldsmith.com CN

Courrèges
True Parisian chic! This is a new line that really does offer some exciting colour and unusual shapes and details. As well as classic monochromes, I love the acidic brights in this 60s inspired collection in which designer Alain Mikli has played a role. This style combines a lovely retro canary yellow, paired with bright white, with a super curvaceous shape. The Courrèges revival is not just in eyewear; on this website you will find a variety of luxe items including perfumes and a wonderful metal-covered limited edition monograph by Erik Orsenna. www.courreges.com CN

Thierry Lasry
Our choice of fashionista styles would not be complete without a bold Lasry statement design such as Milfy in tortoise. I saw some of Lasry’s styles recently in Dover Street Market and was reminded of the silky finish of the acetate used and the fact that the designer loves bold statement colour, but also makes some very classy more understated colour combinations that have lasting appeal. A label that’s adored by the glitterati and that sticks by the tradition and quality in designer eyewear. www.thierrylasry.com CN

Vera Wang Salon
Classic shaping with the decorative touch of lace inlayed in the arms, model Safira from the Vera Wang collection is one sunglass style that is now on my wish list. The on-trend design has a subtle affinity with the bridalwear designer’s design aesthetic and expertise in working with luxury fabrics. The black version is perfect and a good investment if you want something for all seasons, while the Safira in Umber has a very flattering pairing of cream lace and tortoise and would make a lovely choice for a special occasion such as a summer wedding.

E&E glasses
From Swedish Lapland and E&E glasses comes this super hot oversized cateye that is described as a unisex piece. The chunky flat front ensures full coverage of the eyes and a nice edginess that defines the sunglass styles in this collection. Headed by Emilia Lindmark and a young energetic design team, this label names its styles after landmarks in its native Swedish homeland and is inspired by the natural colours of the local terrain and spectacular icy landscapes. There’s a new website where the frames can now be purchased directly: www.eoe-glasses.com CN
