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.

Liza wearing Terry's eyeglasses...


Vintage Sportivo circa 1980's www.atticeyewear.com

LOVE  fashion photographer Terry Richardson...check out this photo-set with Liza Minnelli.  Liza rocks in this epic photo session of a true legendary "Movie Star."  Terry's Vintage Aviator eyeglass is what she is featured wearing.  It appears that the vintage aviator eyeglasses  Liza has on were from the 1980's.

It is always challenging to match up looks by selecting from www.atticeyewear.com collection. We show our skill in attempting to emulate any look that one may wish. While this vintage Sportivo Nylon aviator sunglass is featured as a sunglass we will custom tint lenses for you to replicate the tint you see Liza wearing. This we do at no additional cost to you, this is part of our service to allow you to express yourself in many different shades.

Have Fun...

This vintage image of Yves Saint Laurent is right around the period in which he became the head designer for Dior some feel saving the House from ruins with his version of the trapeze dress...










This gold filled vintage Balrim combination eyeglass by Bausch and Lomb can be purchased from atticeyewear.com and is of similar design to the frame Yves is wearing. 
This frame is a unique example of classic androgynous styling.

Malcolm X...Vintage Eyeglasses


Malcolm X looking amazing in this vintage combination eyeglass circa 1950's. Combination Eyeglasses are called such because they have separate component or brow bar that are either made of plastic as the one you see posted here from atticeyewear.com  or aluminum.
The construction of this period styling is both fashionable as well as luxuriously comfortable. Combination eyeglass of this period were 1/10 12 kt gold or platinum filled. The Brow Bar give's this vintage eyeglass such a dramatic effect. The classic gold filled metal bottom rim of this vintage eyewear make it the perfect the Malcolm X styled vintage eyeglass piece.
