Thierry Lasry “The 79″
Posted on 20. Jun, 2010 by bespokeordie.
I don’t know about you, but I have never really thought of my optician as being the most creative person on the planet. So needless to say the idea that two Los Angeles, California based opticians got married and named their son Thierry Lasry just seems extraordinary on multiple levels. Their prodigy and namesake [...]

If you have followed the site for any length of time you will have noticed my particular appreciation for the iconic and classic Oakley Frogskins silhouette. Then came the Shaun White x Oakley Holbrook which are a modern remake of the Frogskins. Attempting to put off my seemingly uncontrolable urge to dart out and pick up a [...]

Super S/S 2010 Collection
Posted on 16. Mar, 2010 by bespokeordie.
Italian eyewear brand Super is back with their latest Spring / Summer 2010 RetroSuperFuture Collection and it is clearly fresh. Get, it? Clearly?? Okay, I digress.

I have never really been a fan of tomatoes. They are great mixed in with with things, but alone I can’t stand the texture, but I digress. “Flying Tomatoes,” on the other hand, I am a huge fan of. Shaun White is the snowboarding equivalent to Michael Jordan who has single-handedly redefined the game. [...]

New York based eyewear maker KBL has been on my radar for some time. The company has only been around since 2007 and has made quick strides in the world of fashion thanks to some pretty big time experience from Adam and Kara Mendelsohn and Dave Barton whose collective experience includes strong industry names like Calvin Klein, Marc [...]

Roses are red, violets are blue, Oakley has made some special Valentine’s Day inspired Frogskins for you. Okay, okay, so I am not exactly a contemporary William Shakespeare, but these on the other hand are a super fresh take on a classic piece of eyewear that will inspire you with the same degree of [...]

Posted on 29. Dec, 2009 by bespokeordie.
One of my favorite local eyewear brands is back with their new Spring / Summer 2010 Optical Collection. I say “one of” because Oakley is in my backyard too and we all know my particular love and affection for their Frogskins. Barton Perreira‘s Optical line isn’t that different from their Sun line. Classic metal [...]

Andre x Louis Vuitton S/S 2010 Eyewear
Posted on 18. Dec, 2009 by bespokeordie.
There is something about the spontaneousness and mystic of the Polaroid which made the resulting imagery so grimy and real. Recapturing this essence is something that it seems few are capable of doing well these days, Terry Richardson is probably the best in the business if you ask me. These photos from the forthcoming [...]
