The CASSIUS

Had a very busy and exciting week in Italy. Whilst at the Baumvision Europe meeting at Blevio, I had the pleasure of seeing Cassius De Como wearing The CASSIUS from the amazing new MOSCOT Sun Collection. Go to www.moscot.com to see all the great new MOSCOT product, which will soon be available.

Jack the Hat Gardner wearing The ZOLMAN, from The MOSCOT Originals Collection and favourite hat, manufactured by the esteemed San Diego Hat Co. Two iconic American companies, what a great combo.

Aloe Blacc wearing his Maybach Icon 111 sunglasses

Aloe Blacc enjoying himself in the sun wearing the fabulous Maybach Icon 111. An ultra thin, laminated natural buffalo horn frame with 24 carat gold plated details. It also features Carl Zeiss polarised sunlenses.His real name is Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III. I wonder if that is why he choose that piece? Well I guess he got that dollar!

Sir Noel Coward

Sir Noël Peirce Coward (16 December 1899 – 26 March 1973) was an English playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, known for his wit, flamboyance, and what Time magazine called "a sense of personal style, a combination of cheek and chic, pose and poise".

That must be why he is seen here wearing The TERRY by MOSCOT a special collaboration inspired by iconic photographer, Terry Richardson and his signature aviator specs!

So it is that time of year again, the optical shows are upon us and Barton Perreira is on the front cover of Eyewear magazine, they have used The Barrett in tortuga gradient. The Magazine is published in time for Mido which this year runs from Sunday the 11th of March till Tuesday the 13th at the Fiera Milano Rho.

Barton Perreira will be exclusively presenting it's amazing new collection in Hall 24 Booth R10 S10. Look forward to seeing you there for another great show.

Eyebobs in the UK

We're happy to announce the arrival of Eyebobs to the UK. Founded in 2001, eyebobs are reading glasses for the irreverent and slightly jaded. Creativity, wit and a dash of sarcasm reign at the Minneapolis headquarters. Eyebobs firmly believes that your style should be sharp, even if your vision isn’t.

Every 8 seconds, someone turns 40. Eyes over the age of 40 begin to lose their flexibility which makes focusing at close range more difficult (also called presbyopia). We hate to break it to you, but reading glasses are inevitable.

Now the good news! You are not doomed to wander the racks of supermarket readers in search of the least ugly pair. Consider this: reading glasses are an opportunity to express yourself!

You’re stylish, smart and a little bit sarcastic – your eyewear should be too. We’ve got styles and colours to suit every mood, from dignified classics to big, bold and bright. We’ve got sunglass readers to keep you looking stylish while reading outdoors. Be the envy of younger eyes everywhere with your funky glasses! Recently endorsed by Oprah Winfrey & featured in WWD, InStyle, GQ etc.

For a preview go to www.glasseswebb.com and come to see the collection at the Spring Fair International. 5-9 February 2012 at the NEC Birmingham UK. Hall 19, 20 Stand 19A05A.
