Du Cap

June 1st 2013

Leisure Society, America

Shane Baum at Leisure Society expresses supreme elegance in his design Du Cap. The name is a tribute to the fabulous Hotel Du Cap on the French Rivera, the inspiration for this beautiful frame in titanium and acetate. The titanium temples deserve special mention – they are plated in gold, accented with coloured enamel, and elaborately etched with precise detail. The Mountain Tortoise acetate is achieved with a Tokyo tortoise base, with blacks and yellows, and the top half is then accented with a subtle layer of gold flakes. www.leisure-society.com JG

Sweet delights in Paris

May 24th 2013

La Maison du Chou – handmade cream puffs in St. Germain

24th May 2013 Paris is well-known for its beautiful patisseries and I have had some new experiences this week trying and viewing some particularly elegant examples at Rose Bakery, Carette and Les Deux Magots…but this new little pastry “maison” is worth a special detour. The freshly made chou puffs are filled in front of the customer with chocolate, coffee or natural cream. Owned by Emma Gilkeson, the little interior is so elegant that it has become a destination for fashionistas and pastry connoisseurs alike. 6 choux cost 10 euros; I brought mine home in their little box on the Eurostar but they disappeared on arrival!

La Maison du Chou, 7 rue de Furstenberg, 75006 Paris.

Alice Goes to Cannes

May 1st 2013

Anna-Karin Karlsson

A focus on Fashionista Eye Candy for this May edition? My first thought was of Anna-Karin Karlsson and the delightful styles such as ‘Coco and the Row’ or ‘Black Horse’ which express a whole new inimitable language in creative sunglass design. And then we found another nine designs that sum up the mood this Summer for those who want creative design and beautifully made shades…from cateyes to aviators, pastels to neons, this is eye candy that we take our Eyestylist hats off to!

Eyestylist has always been a big fan of ‘Alice Goes to Cannes’ by Anna-Karin Karlsson, (see the first of these here: https://www.eyestylist.com/2011/05/introducing-anna-karin-karlsson/) and this, the latest version, (above) has to be a winner for the summer ahead. Produced in pink with gold glitter, this little bombshell fits perfectly with the sweet pastel trend whilst having a bold blocked shocking pink on the inside for that extra little something. Ms Karlsson’s powerful collection for this year continues to thrill the fashion world around the globe. It’s an exciting story that is still unfolding. www.annakarinkarlsson.com CN

Candy Desire 1 Cookie, Candy Eyes

May 1st 2013

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.
