Vintage Christian Dior in the House.....www.atticeyewear.com

Christian Dior
Christian Dior continues to be synonymous with objects of only the finest of quality and design. Christian Dior had a post-war epiphany realizing women were ready for a change.  Christian Dior created a new silhouette for women that maximized the natural hourglass lines of a woman's body. Dior created a new look of billowing skirts with cinched waste and mountains of luxurious fabrics and women desired his new look.
Dior creates new look "flower women"

Christian Dior became well known for his haute couture fashion  as well as his ready to wear and his new look began to draw much attention.  Establishing such client list as Eva Gardner and Marlene Dietrich .  During the 1950's Christian Dior was the biggest and best run haute couture house in Paris.  Dior re-defined a new business model to the fashion industry by establishing Dior as a global brand offering a wide range of products. This new approach only further established The House of Dior strong presence as a leader in Haute Couture as well as ready to wear fashion. Dior reinvigorated Paris fashion with his Brand of excellence.

 Vintage Christian Dior sunglasses are no exception to the Dior brand of excellence. Atticeyewear.com has some new additions to our collection. These vintage Christian Dior Sunglasses are just as one would expect from Christian Dior "classic perfection".
Vintage Dior sunglass are made of Optyl a very lightweight yet durable material that allowed for  the dramatic shapes and large eye sizes which Dior became know for.  Dior always offers both fashionably provocative style yet quite practical wearing at the same time.

When you put on Vintage Dior Eyewear you too will experience the sheer enjoyment of this luxurious brand. The two new additions to atticeyewear.com featured here are classic examples of Dior styling. The classic open sided tailoring of this vintage sunglass along with the crocodile pattern which is eloquently etched into this lovely sunglass make this piece wildly perfect. 

I hope you will visit our site and peruse our collection of one of a kind Vintage Sunglasses and Eyewear.

Enjoy,

Godspeed...Steve

Steven Jobs  February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011
The world lost a piece of creative Genius that has forever left all of us changed.  This pioneer changed not only the way we communicate and share information but allowed a broad range of users to embrace technology that was deemed impossible to navigate.  He profoundly changed the face of the modern world and revolutionized many different areas of business and development.

Steve Jobs gave me the world by the sheer touch of my fingertips. 
His legacy shall forever remain ingrained in my life and this is my personal tribute to a creative soul who lived as we all should to the fullest possible . 


Godspeed Steve...May your family feel comfort in knowing you live on forever by your legacy.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

Cure for an obsession: get another one.

This Sunglass is my Obsession.....
 
Usually I will not post the same style more than once after it has sold on the site however every rule has an exception and this vintage sunglass is mine.

I realize I have FB, blogged, tweeted,twitpic,tumbled, the hell out of this vintage sunglass. I just can not help it it truly is a masterpiece.

Vintage Jackie OHHHHH circa 1960 available at www.atticeyewear.com
This vintage sunglass piece is by SRO Optical and was manufactured in the good old U.S.A.  This vintage sunglass speaks volumes of a time when all was right with the world and our goal was to seek out the best quality in manufacturing as well as incredible styling. Our goal then was to allow for an item that would stand the test of time and Ohhhh this vintage sunglass has done that perfectly!

This piece although shown here as a sunglass can be worn as clear pair of vintage eyeglasses as well for those of you who dare to "bold and fabulous as all hell."

This frame is layered in luxury and I Love every millimeter or inch of this vintage sunglass however you look at it!

TaTa for now.

Vintage+Eyewear=Genius

"Individuality is either the mark of genius or the reverse. Mediocrity finds safety in standardization."  Frederick Krane
        Find Your Mark!
Vintage Franklin Delano Roosevelt circa 1950's
Vintage Pierre Cardin "cotte de armes"
Expressing ones individuality is to me the truest art form we all have to share. While some of us are more minimalist in their art form than others this art form is truly "yours to own". To me finding ones style is simply another chapter of growth in life.  Being satisfied in knowing that it is you that must be happy with the reflection that you cast. 

Utilizing eyewear  as your statement of expression is a simple aesthetic that works well for everyone. Vintage eyewear allows for you to be more individual with your expression. If you like having a look that really is "yours alone to own" vintage eyewear is a great choice. Atticeyewear.com collection of vintage eyewear consist mostly of one off hand selected vintage eyeglasses and sunglasses that we have searched out based on our extensive comprehension of eyewear history. 

Atticeyewear.com extensive collection of vintage eyeglasses is truly a collection of vintage eyewear that we find truly irresistible and special!  We hope you enjoy perusing the different era's we have available beginning from the 1900's through the 1990's. We are always available to assist you with our professional advice on selection of sizing as well as customization of tinted lenses available for any frame you see on our site. 

We realize the challenge of purchasing online and have no problem in answering question or supplying you with additional photos should you need.

All over the Globe....Vintage Eyewear

Cavanaugh 
 Atticeyewear.com made our mission statement "To reach the globe with our collection of vintage eyeglasses," and so far we are doing quite well. These photos are of the rock/pop band from the heart of Sweden in the city of Borlänge, Dalarna called Cavanaugh.  This 4 man strong rock/pop band are truly a  powerhouse of great listening music and I am so proud that Jonas wears one of our vintage eyeglasses.  Cavanaugh's music seems to  cross over a generational gap of music listening.  Myself as well as my 18 year old daughter have greatly enjoyed their latest CD entitled "You've Been Had"!  The lyrics to their songs are commendable and thought provoking.

Jonas Nyström

We have met many interesting people, like Jonas. We feel our passion for our vintage eyewear collection truly spans the globe...as our client list grows from continent to continent.  Thank you Jonas and to all of our clients who are helping our mission to be accomplished!
Rock On!
