Perhaps a gentleman with glasses is more attractive than a gentleman.
Even if they don't do anything, just standing there, occasionally holding the mirror frame with their fingers and nodding slightly, they can become the most charming scene in this winter. Even the dazed eyes are covered by the refraction of the lens, which has a profound lasting appeal.
In this way, people can forget you, but they will never forget your glasses.
Even in the past, wearing it was like printing the eight characters "bookworm with poor eyesight" on his face. It was not until after the 1990s that glasses no longer made adults talk about their color change and let children cry. It can be seen that they have been reborn from nirvana in the embarrassing period of identity.
Now, in addition to the necessary functionality, it can also be used as an accessory "Facade" to achieve mutual success with the wearer's style. It is precisely this move that makes it finally turn war into friendship with beauty lovers and coexist harmoniously.
It's not easy to choose one that fits your temperament. If you can't get a scoop of drink after visiting thousands of glasses stores, the following brands with unique flavor are for reference - of course, the only secret is to show your true knowledge on your face.
“CUBITTS”
It is believed that the first frame of most glasses brands is produced in standard factories, but it is obvious that cubitts does not take an ordinary road. In 2012, founder Tom Broughton made the first frame in his own kitchen table in London.
As a child with glasses, he said he had a very emotional connection with it and was extremely fascinated by it. But although about 69% of people in the world need to wear this item every day, just like Tom's own father, he will choose to take off his glasses when taking a family photo.
This made him realize that for many people, wearing glasses is tantamount to seeing a doctor, rather than buying their favorite things. This prompted him to set up today's cubits to change this point - to transform this neglected century "tudenxi" and bring it into the modern trend in essence.
Cubitts is named after the first street where Tom lived when he first came to London. It has some roots. At that time, the Cubitt brothers were three Victorian engineers who also completely changed the construction industry and even promoted the industrial revolution after coming to London.
This coincides with his idea: reorganize an old business and be more loyal to the rich experience and aesthetic texture gained in the long traditional history.
With the emergence of fashion glasses brands, it is not easy to keep yourself different. For a long time, cubitts has focused on hand making, and every detail reflects the ingenuity of its products.
The color is mostly like jade, and the line structure is as thick as sculpture - beyond the original structure of glasses, and then combined with modern beauty. Looking at their works, although they have a strong artistic flavor, they are surprisingly in line with daily wear.
If you are tired of the "ordinary" of people, you might as well try, there will always be unexpected joy.
“Oliver Peoples”
Oliver people is a glasses brand born in West Hollywood. It is located on Sunset Avenue. It was jointly founded by Larry Leight and Dennis Leight brothers in 1986.
Many star artists are the most loyal "fans" of their family. Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise... This frankness is nourished by Los Angeles culture, where fashion, film, art and music inspire the brand infinitely.
At that time, Larry was engaged in the glasses industry and often carried out hand-painted designs for celebrities in magazines. Therefore, in the early stage of developing the brand concept with the team, we wanted to design an innovative glasses series that can reflect Los Angeles.
At the same time, they also want to develop a brand rooted in American culture, especially between the 1920s and 1960s, in order to integrate the frame characteristics of that era into the blood of contemporary glasses.
To this end, they specially conducted a wide-ranging search to try to evaluate the early American glasses that had never been worn or passed before.
By chance, Larry bought a house full of old-fashioned glasses and parts in the late 1980s. There are all kinds of mechanical lenses, frameless frames, and even all kinds of glasses produced by American companies decades ago.
Therefore, the design of Oliver people came into being - changing the exquisite aesthetics created by traditional brands and the futuristic style dominated in the late 1980s. In contrast, their first series created a classic and eternal style. It adopts a series of natural tortoise shell colors, which are full of ingenious details.
Up to now, each Oliver people frame is still made by machinery and hand, paying attention to detail carving, so as to achieve the best glasses aesthetic products.
“KIRK ORIGINALS”
Kirk origins has a long history. It began in the early 20th century and has undergone several changes since then. The brand was founded in 1992, but this business has been started by Percy and Sidney Kirk brothers since 1919. At that time, they set up Kirks brothers in Clerkenwell, central London, and started the business of glasses.
Sidney is now famous for his design and the "divine stroke" of turning the sewing machine into a lens cutter. Percy is an excellent marketing pioneer. He knows how to tap the potential of glasses and improve his reputation.
Even though Kirks brothers completely disappeared after the war, many years later, the distant descendants of the Kirk family found a box of retro mirror frames and finally decided to follow their tracks to create a new brand based on retro aesthetics, which made today's Kirk originals.
At Kirk origins, it takes 72 hours to turn glasses from sketches into real objects. Across the whole century, every process of production always depends on manual forging. This is an extremely long process, but it has also achieved the texture of art, which is the beating "heart" of the brand.
Their glasses are also imbued with this unique sense of precipitation, holding the tone of British films, which can not only be atmospheric and capable, but also reveal uninhibited freedom. Not only "elegant", but also the "ruffian" who still holds freedom and does not stick to one style; He is a gentleman and a teenager.
Today's creative director Mark Brown talks about inspiration, saying it is still often taken from the 20th century. Draw nutrients from "retro" and re blend it to create, so as to make the charm last forever.
