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.

Matrix...Morpheus...www.atticeyewear.com

Morpheus in Matrix Movie

Morpheus in the House!?$! The Pince Nez you see Laurence Fishburne wearing as well as all of the incredible sunglasses you see in the Matrix series were designed by Blinde. Atticeyewear.com has the model as seen on Morpheus available for purchase on our site.
The Matrix series never tires every time I watch it I find more depth and meaning to the characters and the words they speak. In mathematics a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or symbols or expressions.
