Happy Birthday Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol would be celebrating his 82 birthday today.  Andy the original pop icon is still alive and well in the counter culture of art lovers everywhere. What a legacy Andy created for the visual art movement.  Andy led the path for commercial artist to be accepted as the artist that they are, though some art aficionado may find such a commercial approach as repugnant.   His eye was impeccable at perceiving imagery that so many could appreciate and wish to own. His life as well as his art was as if it was depicted through a lens. Homogeneous yet at the same time celebratory of a moment in time.
Comfort Art one might say!


Andy iconic vintage eyeglass was what we call in the industry a P3.
The P3 gets its name from the eyewear manufacturers, and it refers to a classic style that falls between oval and round. The top of the frame is round, and the bottom of the frame is round too but slightly pointed. This allows for a wider range of fit for many face shapes. So visit atticeyewear.com  &
Create your own legacy of style!

Will Ferrell...Vintage Eyeglasses

This image is of Will Ferrell from the new movie The Other Guy...the vintage eyeglasses you see here are classic 1980's rimless square aviators.  Will felt that it was apropos for his character to have this classic styling.

These days many are realizing that No Brand is a Brand. It is a pure statement that you are secure in your style and know what you want. This says a lot more than merely a logo plaque on the side of your head or anywhere else on your person.  Not that I dislike brands but that should not determine what you buy.
Fashion should be about style, your style the image of your reflection should be a true sense of who you are. So search deep and find that person and you will surely become a much happier human being and a better dressed individual.  Can I get an Amen?

This vintage frame circa 1980's is of similar styling that Will is wearing available at atticeyewear.com.  So be The Other Guy with Style in vintage eyeglasses.

Fedora...Vintage Sunglasses

This vintage image you see is of Marthe Keller from the 1978 American film Fedora.  This dramatic film directed by Billy Wilder was highly underrated however it truly is worth watching. The narrative directing technique by Billy is brilliant and the cast is stellar starring William Holden as the aging director 'Dutch' Detweiler who is determined to lure Fedora a reclusive actress back into the limelight.  The film was released at Cannes in 1978 and really did not receive classic fanfare only appearing in a handful of selected venues.  This is classic Wilder cinema!







This vintage sunglass by Swank you see featured is available at atticeyewear.com. This vintage circa 1970's sunglass is also classic atticeyewear, featuring the original glass lenses from the manufacturer. This vintage sunglass we too had to seduce out of seclusion and is available for purchase too...

John Trudell...Vintage Eyeglasses

John Trudell a Poet and true activist for Mother Earth wearing his classic round vintage eyeglasses with a clip on.

One of his first album's Grafitti Man was well heard and deemed best album of 1986 by Bob Dylan.  Trudell work is so poignant and mystical and really brings a sense of realization that we must respect Mother Earth and all of her majesty. For it is not ours to own merely to rejoice in the moments that we all are blessed to receive her splendor.

This vintage eyeglass is of the same style that Trudell is wearing although he always wore a clip on sunglass over his eyewear.
