Bare faced cheek!

The Bare faced cheek

Well so far 2012 is bring us a wealth of varying trends and it seems anything goes in relation to sunglasses as long as the main principles are followed. This year sunglasses are going more retro than ever before with shapes reflecting shades from the 1800’s and the swinging sixties from Downtown and W.E. to Boardwalk Empire and the latest offering from BBC inspired by the on/off relationship between David Bailey and Jean Shrimpton ‘we’ll take Manhattan’.
The future is as round as the globe and angles are more subtle with simple sweeps of edges rather than the sharp angles of previous years.
This trend will compliment the look of outifts that are being presented for A/W12 with the likes of Alberta Ferretti in her roaring 20’s inspired high luxe collection with more than just a nod towards Erte’s great illustrations. Dolce&Gabbana’s Baroque inspired menswear collection and Prada who is re-visiting the land of gentry in Muccia’s subtle love of the classic man in her unique twist.
Colourwise in the collections of sunglasses nude is a hot look though some may say a little impractical, think gold and of course clear and the sexiness of tobacco/amber ( who ever said smoking was bad for you never saw Paul smith)

So come on all let’s rebel against the austerity packages and cheer ourselves up with some high lux wear and think sod the saving we may all be gone by 21.12.12 but at least we look frigging amazing.
Also look out gold this season in sunglases is more a subtle matte tone rather than the shiny yellow look of the past so come on let’s embrace it and stay cool.

Also don’t forget to keep ‘em peeled for our new lines coming by the end of January where we hope you will be as pleased by the offerings as us…….

What will you be wearing at the end of the world?

Hello fellow Judges'!!!

Well, today I think i have come down with the dreaded bug, and I'm curled up on the sofa drinking hot lemon and whiskey....purely medicinal you must understand, and eating anything with chocolate on the label!....and watching copious amounts of TV. I must give a big thanks to Sir Richard Branson and his media empire for supplying me with so many channels i never knew existed!!!...I'm on a telethon watching 'Ancient Aliens' back-to-back on the History Channel. Isn't that Giorgio a cool guy fellow Judges!...and i've been watching all about those poor misunderstood Aztecs....slightly a bit cruel, but what cool clothing!!.... and they were certainly innovative with their architecture...but one thing upset me slightly....they say we are all going to vapourise on the 21st December 2012.....and that got me thinking.....what sunglasses will you be wearing to watch the end of the world?...

.To watch the volcanoes erupting and the bright meteors crash landing to the earth, what better than a cool pair of Oakley sunglasses?. full UV protection and with the polarised version glare will be reduced to a minimum.... Oakley shades Wraparounds will also protect your eyes from the strong UV that will be present, and whilst everyone is turning into pillars of salt like Lot's wife, youll be able to view all this with such clarity. And when the 'rapture' occurs what about wearing a cool pair of Miu Miu Carte Noire sunglasses to meet your intended maker. You want to stand out in the crowd don't you, as I suspect the queue to enter the kingdom of heaven being slightly busy!...Miu Miu shades will make you look a million dollars, although i suspect the Greenback will not be needed up there!.. Who knows!..might be the euro!... and i suspect that the Allmighty may let some men in as well, so you cool dudes, wear a pair of Paul Smith sunglasses. Wearing a pair of Paul smith shades, there will be a lot of fallen angels afterwards..

Well after all this depressing talk, i'm going back to bed with a port and brandy now....purely medicinal you must understand, and play my Sean Paul track so i can party like its the end of the world!....Do not worry my fellow Judges'...i will still be contacting you..from up there, or possibly knowing my luck, from down below......

keep 'em peeled!...

the Judge.

Paul Smith is a traitor!

Good Afternoon Judges,

I do hope you are all fine and dandy!

Well this week again appears to be flying by with the coming clock changes and Spring finally rearing it's head. The sun is struggling through and Winter seems to finally be going to the back of the queue.

So some of you will be wondering what this blog is about well it is not to renounce our love of Sir Paul Smith but to tailor Man Utd suits for them! What About Forest Sir Paul your home town eh! You dirty traitor haha! I will forgive you though I suppose.

Remaining on Paul Smith for a little while longer did you Judges realise Sir Paul did one of his bravest Womenswear shows in Paris this Month. How brave i hear you mutter well not only did he do his twist on masculine chic for the girl about town but most importantly he sent every single model down the runway in Paul Smith Eyewear. Creating the most sexy 'geek chic' look in the whole World. The Paul Smith sunglasses worn by them went down a treat!

Paul Smith in Feburary showed his models on the London catwalks walking down in heavy tweeds and luxury suitings and get this Paul Smith Sunglasses. This man is effortless with throwing the whole look on his models and making them own the runway in a style that has Britain stamped all over it. The Paul Smith shades had a 1930's retro feel as well.

Paul has been busy this awards season notably clothing the top man of the moment Gary Oldman. A true winner in the style stakes and a new Paul smith Champion. Talking of champions you surfers are in for a for a treat when British based surf label reveal their latest collaboration with Sir Paul on their latest collection of surfing apparel and also a limited edition Paul Smith surfboard......

So for now Judges all I can say is that I am off to hang ten and ride the swell

Until next time Judges

Keep 'em peeled and keep letting us know your thoughts
