Warby Parker Eyeglasses Launch
14 years ago
Warby Parker is the brainchild of four Wharton MBA students who discovered the market of affordable stylish eyewear was untapped (the line includes glasses for both men and women). The site and product are unique because you upload a photo of yourself, and try out different looks from the collection of 27 not-too-modern styles. All are custom made from cellulose acetate (more durable than plastic) with antireflective, antiscratch polycarbonate prescription lenses (thinner and lighter than glass). A pair costs just $95.
To warm your heart, Warby Parker donates eyeglasses to someone in need for every pair sold.

15 years ago
Zara’s full spring/summer 2010 lookbook has been published. Here are some of the strongest pieces they will have for the season. There colorway is appropriately light for the Spring, in my opinion there might be too much white offered int he collection. Overall though, the cuts, finishes and sizes appear as though they should be flattering on all sorts of body types.

Japan’s Neighborhood channels the styles of The Clash (the band) for their Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. Titled, The Magnificent Seven, the collection showcases punk inspired pieces that cross the iconic band’s look with American workwear aesthetics. The B&W photo’s really make this collection appear as a new take on the oldies. I personally think the pieces are pretty awesome.
