With a warm, wondrous spontaneity infusing his work, British-born Mark Borthwick is revered for his personal style of photography. For Mykita‘s 2009 campaign, he integrated elements of fashion, architecture, and design to develop a uniquely personal and intuitive approach. In March, he used his residence in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn as the canvas for Mykita’s campaign and the finished product was exceptional. The campaign even features some of his friends and family.

We don’t know whether we’re more impressed by Mykita’s 2009 collection Borthwick’s work. You be the judge.

Refined and retro, these aviator frames by Persol are perfect, as far as the current “trends” are concerned. They have gold detail across the bridge which really helps them stand out. They’re available in black as well as a PH-preferred dark tortoise finish (after the jump).

This year, the growing trend seems to be the spectacles. Just earlier, we showed you Justin Timberlake sporting his plastic frames and while in the past, most have opted for contact lenses, this year fashionistos have turned what used to be a downright necessity into an accessory. 

From our perspective, not every man will be suited for a pair of wayfarers, so we’ve got 10 diverse (maybe) pairs after the jump, hoping one of the them will help you strike gold. (more…)

Just Jared spotted JT and girlfriend Jessica Biel strolling through their TriBeCa neighborhood today. This may be a regular occurence to some but I’ve never seen Justin wear specs before. It suits him, amiright? The next question is where are they from, Justin?

Online retailers are known to have killer deals on frames that we either can’t find in most stores or are too damn expensive when we do. The most difficult part of the online shopping experience when it comes to eyewear is getting the right fit. 

In this digitally-entwined world of ours, we have been blessed with FrameFinder, an application that allows you to upload a pic and size up your next pair of frames.

With years of quality design and craftsmanship, Tamio Ido tries their hand with two new sets of optical frames, the Round and Duo. Using a unique yet classic form of contemporary artwork, the pieces form a cell-wall bridge and celluloid ceiling with precise details. These hand-made specs are offered in two styles.

DITA’s been known to make some great eyewear. Spring 2009 is sure to bring a whole batch of pieces that will do more than just help to clarify the writing on the wall. It’s here early via the release of their “Statesman” frame for the holidays. They’re made in Japan of handcrafted Zyl Acetate front frame and temples.

The half rimmed classic styled frame is something we’re seeing more and more of but we just can’t get enough. They remind us of a pair of classic Persols, but more refined. You can choose from four colorways.
