Das Lunoe

So, I went to the most beautiful wedding on the weekend... On a lush green pasteur, by the side of a fresh streaming river, was a marque draped in flowing yellows and whites, surrounded by the most amazing bundles of huge, round balloons. The whole scene, submerged in the blue mist of the mountains, reminded me of the Romanticism and Fantasty of Tim Walker's work. Below is a couple of images that illustrate the magic that existed in these moments on this most romantic and dreamy of days...

...Their own little fantasy

Grab his book, aptly title pictures. Make sure you get the hardcover, it's absolutely beautiful

MOSCOT Eyes

Whilst we're on the topic of eyewear, I should mention MOSCOT Eyewear and Eyecare, which has been a New York City institution for nearly 100 years. We're big on the round-frame trend which has most recently been revived by the charming criminal John Dillinger played by Johnny Depp in Public Enemies (2009). Alongside a huge variety of other styles, MOSCOT Eyewear really nails this lens shape. Offering both prescription and sunglass frames, the lenses are also available in a few interesting shades; such as a toxic green.

You can go shopping online and even "try on" a pair or two in cyberspace.

acetate

There is something about a classic frame in a translucent acetate finish that screams out classic but edgey.

Mosley Tribes teamed up with Native Sons (along with their epic 3D look-book) to create these stunners:

Then you've got Retro Superfuture. They keep the ranges coming but stick with classis frames and quality feel. Their collaborations are unique and inspiring and their basics are sophisticated yet funky.

Saw a super cute girl in these the other day... elegant yet classic

1969-2010

Alexander (Lee) McQueen. Without question one of the best things to ever come out of the global fashion industry.

His collections will live forever.

i love pamela love

Jewellery designer PAMELA LOVE's intricate jewellery line has attracted a cult following, having graced the pages of international magazines and adorned the bodies of style's elite.

Pamela, who by the way is also a drummer in her spare time, also collaborated with Opening Ceremony to create a limited range inspired by the 2009 film 'Where the Wild Things Are.'

Beautiful pieces for both the boys and the girls. It's definitely love.

The Alexi Affair

This guy can take a picture! Superimposed, Overexposed, Saturated and Intense Black & Whites... And they ALL look amazing. Spend a few hours scrolling through Alexi Lubomirski's portfolio and get inspired - it's about time we got out.

These are a few that reflect his versatility; some peruvian influence, overexposure, contrast and the perfect pose.

Tough as a Tea Cosy

There is a lot of Hobo Chic around the mens runways this year with bruised and battered models making the walk. Byblos realised there is another tough and grungy type of man out there and he harks back to the heraldic ways of soldiers and warriors without looking like a costume shop. Thick knits, heavy wools and worn leather makes me look forward to winter.
