Another great SunglassesPhoto I did with a model named Laura. She wears my Mannequin Shades from the 80′s. Handmade in France and it fits perfect, if you ask me!!!
The red one is a present from my loving brother Dennis!!! Thank you!!!
Told ya!!! I love the M1!!!I think you all remeber my first special about my alltime fav. sunglasses the Alpina M1!!!
Today its time for the 2nd Special and this time its not about a COOL FRAME that everybody loves, no, its about a COOL GUY that everybody loves. STEVE WONDER was born in 1950 and is known all over the World as a great musician. His first recored was recorded in 1962 so he only was 12 years old and since this time there was no stopping for him as musican and componist. But thats not the only reason im posting this here, you all gone know, it about his style of shades he is wearing the 70′s and 80′s.
I really was suprised when i was searching for photos what kind of styles he was rocking. Some of them is well known and i can easely name them but there are a lot i dident could identify. Maybe one of you can tell me a frame so i could expend my knowledge about vintage frames.
Thanks for yourt help, just leave a comment or drop me a mail.
First of all my and Stevies alltime Fav. the Alpina M1 in Black with golden Screws. I once talked to a manufacter of the M1 and he called the M1 the “Steve Wonder Galsses”.
That was a Pic i was really supriesed and happy about. He was wearing a white Cazal 951 and it seems like they had mirroed Lenses. Really rare these days.
And another Classic for these days. Its a Porsche Design 5620 produced by Carrera in the 80′s. This cool Stunners was made famouse by two people in the 80′s. First, for all you HipHopHeads:
I dont have a clue, it seems like it have to be from the 70′s???
80′s and massiv but no clue, i will be thanksfull for help.
These Aviators look familier, but no clue. I really like them. Late 70′s early 80′s. What do you think?
First i saw this Model of maddnes from Alpina on Solaris great Blog in two different colors and i love them.
Grey
White
And Corey form the VintageFramesCompany decided, that its a Creme de la Creme Frame!!!
Now i call them my own in a 3rd colorway and as a surf-version. I was wondering if the Grey one is a Surf or not. Anyway in white they are the Best!!!
Those Alpinas are f…… HUGE!!! They have about the size of the Porsche Design 5620.
They are just great, what do you think?
Its the 3rd Ferrari Frame I Post on my little Blog but i think it will not be the last. All Ferrari-Shades i found till now really stand for themselves, just like the cars.
I already told you all about my love to the Alpina M1, its my Fav from day one, but what you see here is a somthing really special!!!
Its a Alpina M1/8 as far as i learned it was only made cause of an anniversary of the Alpina Company and only gave away to spacial shopholder or customers…i dont know if its the truth but they are really rare so it sounds like it could be.
I know three colorways of the M1/8. The White, the Black and the Golden one, all 3 have the tortoise decor as you cann see on the white one. These are really really ill!!!
Dunhill Shades are very hard to find these days and i think its because they are really one of the best vintage brands ever. The Dunhill 6069 are one of the coolest i have ever found since i started collecting vintage shades. With the square Lenses they look classic and high class. i love the combo out of the optyl-made frame and the gold metal right next to the lenses.
Dr.Shapiro says:
“Vintage Dunhill sunglasses are a sign of prestige on anyone who rocks them! Vintage Dunhill Sunglasses are made from Optyl, with a combination of medals and plastic.”
Those shades are crazy!!!
Corey from vintageframescompany told you last week:
“Vintage Dior Monsieur, now better known as Dior Homme was hands down one of the dopest vintage sunglasses line. Also made with Optyl materials, the quality and the styles are un-matched. I collect men’s Dior sunglasses. The vintage ones in my opinion are a million times cooler than the new ones, but hey, i say that about everything in my life!”
But this great piece is not out of optyl its made out of titan!!! The material is one of the strongest and lights materials ever. All of the early Titan Frames are producted in Japan cause they where the first who found a way to weld this fine material.
The Color of this Frame are a very yellow Gold with a detail of chopper colored titan.
