Damir Doma’s black sunglasses are a solid offering. They’re handmade in japan by Linda Farrow Designs and given some great detailing. The oversized frame is fitted with antiqued gold bridge and grommets on the arms for safe keeping.

SUPER’s latest incarnation of their iconic flat top frame is blessed with an all italian leather shell. The black leather is ultimately kept extremely thin to maintain a sleek profile. The frames are further paired with Carl Zeiss lenses and maintain the signature SUPER branding inside the temple.
Dolce & Gabbana is set to release some fine eyewear from their Gold Edition, just in time for the holidays. One pair reminds us of a Dita Cazal collaboration from about a year ago. The piping on these are slick along with the other gold lining. Will they be on my dresser in the next few weeks? For 90,000 Yen (over 1000 USD), probably not. They’re still great to look at.
The relationship between Jon Kortajarena and Tom Ford continues to thrive with the label’s fall/winter eyewear campaign. The men’s lineup looks pretty solid, most notably those silver aviators. As for the women’s, let’s just say we weren’t focusing on the frames. Tom Ford shot the entire campaign himself and we commend him for his hands-on dedication.

Both variations have been fitted with tortoise elements, and all models come with an animal-shaped cloth and hard leather case.

Just in at OC are the these Bernhard Willhelm sunglasses from a collaboration with German eyewear brand Mykita. The Janis Rounds are inspired by the style of the skiers at the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics and are made of an ultra lightweight sheet metal that looks and feels nearly molded to the face.

The fine folks at StyleCrave have given us a glimpse at Super’s latest creation — The RSF Bread and Butter Berlin Edition. “One of my top frame choices this year has got to be the Super RSF Bread & Butter Berlin Edition with straight top frames in a nice butterscotch shade. Clear lenses by Zeiss combine forces with that drool-worthy Italian construction and tortoiseshell effect. Mmmm… vintage-y, with 180 made and individual numbering.”
Only 180 of these hand-made beauties will ever see the light of day, each with individual numbering.

Still looking for the perfect pair of sunglasses to protect you this summer? I just came across Mykita‘s Woody frames. They’re ultra lightweight with a gold finish and are part of Mykita’s Collection No. 1. These slim framed glasses have black gradient lenses, padded arms for comfort and of course are 100% UV protected.

This summer, we’re going to be blessed with Common Projects’ first-ever pair of sunglasses, the Type 001. Crafted and designed in collaboration with Moscot Originals, these flat-black frames have a hefty look but are surprisingly light, with a hint of enamel at the temple where the metal accent would be on a traditional Wayfarer. The trademark CP gold lettering is hidden inside the arms, leaving every passer wondering where you got this pair of basic frames.
Buy It: This July at Moscot stores and online
