Vintage+Eyewear=Genius

"Individuality is either the mark of genius or the reverse. Mediocrity finds safety in standardization."  Frederick Krane

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.

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

Vintage Dime Store....www.atticeyewear.com

Woolworth Dime Store

 Nostalgia makes people happy and brings them back to a time of comfort. Dime Stores became popular in the early twentieth century, such names were Kress & Ben Franklin depending on where you were from.  In Downtown Miami  there was Woolworth. Woolworth had the traditional soda fountain counter where you could get a burger and shake while your parents shopped.

Dime stores are a part of Americana History that in some cases were very eventful. Such an Event took place February 1, 1960 in Greensboro North Carolina when four African American college students sat down at a segregated Woolworth counter and politely asked to be served. A piece of that counter is in the Smithsonian Institute.

Vintage Dime Store Cat Eye circa 1940'

These Vintage Dime Store eyeglasses available at www.atticeyewear.com are also a part of Americana.
These sunglasses were manufactured in large quantities usually of celluloid a type of plastic that could be mass produced and easily molded. These vintage sunglasses are still of excellent quality and surpass many modern day designer sunglasses.

Vintage Neon Green Dime Store circa 1960's

The vintage sunglass you see here all have the original glass lenses to add to their authenticity and are in excellent condition considering the age of many of these pieces. If you want a piece of Americana these collectibles do not need to be on a shelf they can be worn.

The Film "A Single Man"by Tom Ford put forth such incredible attention to detail. The suits  for Colins character were custom tailored on Savile Row.  Ford even had the label on inside lapel's to say"George" Colin character's name and the year in which the suit was made for him... 1957. The movie takes place in 1962. Julianne Moore's wardrobe as well as makeup was to die for. Truly Impeccable Styling.

Vintage "Invincible" Eyeglasses circa 1960's
