Complete the Look with Vintage Sunglasses


I search all over to find vintage images of fantastic looking people in vintage sunglasses or eyeglasses! This task one would think would be simple however it is not so easy.  I found this amazing vintage photo taken by Paul McDonough in his book simply titled New York Photographs 1968-1978.
I simply could not pass the image up even though they are not donning shades!


Bad..bad... Girls!

Maestro Andy Warhol...Reinhart Wolf circa 1980's

Portrait of Andy Warhol and Reinhart Wolf

This photo was taken from this great book "New York by Reinhart Wolf" that was gifted to me by a dear friend...Thanks Mark!

The vintage images  in the book are captured by the photographer Reinhart Wolf.  The images are of New York City architechture and are absolutely amazing!   The dedication in the book reads "This is dedicated to New York City and all who live in it."  You can feel as well as see much Wolf loved NY! 

This photo taken of Warhol and Wolf was during an interview in the 1980's and I find it fascinating the way that Warhol was captured.  You do not even see the eyeglass in the mirror reflection, yet it is quite apparent Warhol is wearing his iconic eyeglass choice.  This look was usually as you see a flesh toned Panto eyeglass. The style suits his face quite exceptionally. 

Warhol was quite myopic and had a rather strong prescription however his short sighted vision made up for the deficiency by his revolutionary vision of all thing simple.  Warhol to me is the overlord of Pop culture and I love his acuity for all things simple.

This post "I dedicate to all who love Andy Warhol as I do."

"If everyone isn't beautiful, then no one is."
Andy Warhol

Richard Avedon...Vintage Eyeglasses


Richard Avedon portait as seen by the eyes of Alfred Eisenstaedt

This vintage photo is of Richard Avedon photographer...what a great moment you feel his mood in this vintage photo.
Richard Avedon photography is as real as his expression captured in this photo a "true view of honest moment's" that is how I view Avedon's photography as well as this photo session of Avedon by Eisenstaedt.
Vintage Rockabilly circa 1950's B/W
Vintage Rockabilly circa 1950's Color

One can always achieve the true beauty of a object by viewing it in black and white. When the image holds its value in black and white that shows the true element of the objects design.

Capturing this look  Richard is wearing I have chosen from www.atticeyewear circa 1950's collection.
This vintage Rockabilly by Univis is a uber classic shape when frame is viewed from the front you see the great stripe pattern however when this vintage classic is viewed from the side it appears as if it is solid black.
Really a fun take on this classic  vintage eyeglass.
