This season’s looks, modelled by the girls on the inside
3rd May 2011 Seeing how real women wear their sunglasses is much more inspirational than looking at pictures of models in magazines. So we’ve asked our female friends in the eyewear industry to share with us the styles they are enjoying wearing for S/S 11. And while some were a bit shy, the results of our research will be posted over the next days …we absolutely love seeing how they have styled their frames, and we want more images please!!! If you are working for a frame designer and want to send us your picture this month please hurry and email us ([email protected]) – if you can send us a high quality photograph plus a picture of the frame you are modelling, we will feature you and details on your favourite design! Hurry girls… CN
Monica Chong (pictured above) is Creative Director and PR Director at the British eyewear brand Cutler & Gross. Her frame is called Blue Sparkle 1004, one of the styles in the Cutler & Gross S/S 11 Mermaid and the Office Collection.
“This sunglass style is right for me,” says Monica, ” because I love 40s and 50s fashion; I am wearing a 40s style playsuit in this picture which I designed myself for my own collection. The cardigan is a vintage 50s piece. The Cutler & Gross Blue Sparkle sums up the blue sparkling ocean on a hot summer day. The style represents pure Hollywood glamour with a vintage feel, perfect for Mermaids! I look for frames that suit my personality and style, as I collect vintage 40s and 50s hats, clothes and jewels. I have a tendency to choose cat’s eyes to complete my look, but I also love what is current and on trend. I have more evening wear than day wear; I adore the works of McQueen, Givenchy, Lanvin and Westwood.”
