Having already proven to be a successful working relationship, The Soloist and Oliver Peoples ride together again for their second eyewear installment. Given their penchant for delivering tasteful items, it is of no surprise that the end result is of the same nature. 3 different frames were utilized here with each seeing two colors: a black and a light brown with matching lenses. This collection will be hitting retailers in January of next year.

Take a further look after the jump.

Dita still is keeping it light in terms of sunglasses for the Fall 2011 season. This range of shades looks like something Ace Rothstein would wear at the resort due to the retro styling, but they translate well into modern times.

Eyewear brands incorporating wood into their frames is not exactly new anymore, but certainly one of the strongest trends in that product category that we are seeing these last months. Some do it better and this week we came across Drift Eyewear’s new Timber Collection, which we like a lot.

First of all we like the fact that not the entire frame is worked from wood, but that the wood is rather used where is makes most sense. The handmade frames use sustainable, locally sourced woods and feature a patent pending stell core, which makes sure that the glasses are both robust and have an optimal weight distribution on all touching points with the face. Fragility is certainly an issue when it comes to wooden eyewear frames and Drift nicely takes that issue out of the equation. The founder’s architectural background certainly helped here.

Today we present the new Drift Timber Collection, consisting of three frames, which are all crafted from salvaged hardwood sourced from different locales. “The dark brown wood for Truss comes from designer Daniel Grady Faires, who painstakingly removed the timber from a renovated building in NYC’s Meatpacking District. Nail Hole’s raw aesthetic is inspired by a collaboration with designer Jessica Park of Seattle’s shop-slash-gallery space Coming Soon, while Whitewash’s frames are devised from a vintage picket fence rescued by Chicago-based artist Raun Myn.”

Each frame comes limited to 100 pieces and should be available soon from Drift dealers.

A further look at the frames follows after the jump.

Today we take a first look at the new The Hundreds Spring 2011 Eyeware range, as they like to call it.

“Spring 2011 marks the continuation and an expansion of The Hundreds Eyeware program. The collection includes new colors of the original Phoenix style, and also features two brand new instant-classic Eyeware styles; the Dean, which was inspired by mid-90s action-sports wraps and is therefore The Hundreds’ next foray into ’90s-era styling; and the Valens, which were inspired by L.A.’s infamous hardcore gangster lifestyle.”

The new range of eyewear will be releasing at The Hundreds flagship stores in LA, SF and NYC next month.

Many more images of the sunglasses follow after the jump.

Cazal sunglasses have created a big movement and have become collector pieces among eyewear afficionados. Today we certainly see a huge trend towards vintage eyewear again, especially of eyewear coming from the 70’s and 80’s. Even though Cazal has never really been gone, the brand has come back strong in recent months. Their Dita collaboration has been really well received, but their vintage pieces still generate most interest.
This year they are presenting a Vintage Collection, which consists of the 901, 904 and 946 model, each coming in classic colorways. Via Openers.

Cassius Eyewear is the creation of co-founders Jason Ng and Kennedy Poynter. Created as an alternative to luxury branded eyewear, Cassius places systems of harmony and proportion at the centre of it’s design philosophy. This together with the ideology that a logo should be intentionally subtle so that the shape and design of the frames themselves defines the look and feel, rather than the ‘brand’ itself. Their first range explicitly evokes scale of architectural proportion, the Bauhaus and the warped forms of 20th century structures – capacious and linear, mixing volumes and space.
Cassius comes from New Zealand and will be releasing their first collection soon.
