Garrett Leight California Optical

       The laid back style known as “American Intellectual” brought to the forefront of eyewear design by Larry Leight, co-founder of Oliver People’s, has waned since Oliver People’s was bought out by eyewear giant Luxottica.  Enter Garrett Leight, son of Larry.  Garrett Leight California Optical” (GLCO) is a refreshing collection of refined, light and beautifully contoured optical frames and sunglasses with inspiration drawn from Garrett’s love of his home state, California. Colour pathways such as champagne, honey blonde or walnut tortoiseshell offer softer alternatives to the bolder colour pathways more popular in recent times.The frames are all named after streets in Venice Beach where GLCO are situated.

Sophy Phillips in Claire Goldsmith 'Watson'

Sophy Phillips is a hairdresser at Stephen Marr’s.  As with her approach to hair styling, Sophy wanted new glasses that represented her personality and style. Blessed with perfectly proportioned features, Sophy looked great in most of the frames she tried but a stand out for her was the Watson in black by Claire Goldsmith. Bold but feminine, we think Sophy got it just right.  

We've drawn the winner of our Oliver Goldsmith Sunglasses giveaway!

Andrew Henry in Claire Goldsmith 'Healy'

Here's independent sneaker designer Andrew Henry in his brand new frames. Andrew is an aficionado of independent design on a quest to create the perfect sneaker through his brand 'Yours'. 

In an interview with Sneaker Freaker magazine, Andrew said "I think consumers are looking for ways to express themselves and are moving away from the big names in order to find unique products." 

We couldn't agree more with Andrew. Claire Goldsmith's 'Healy' in Black on English Summer is the perfect combination of retro charm and modern styling, not to mention it looks great on him.
