Framing blues








Shading, an act of embracing for cover. My trip to memory lane with these beautiful frames were coincidental and of luck. We were browsing through a local second hand store with my mama, where I laid my eyes on this beautiful Lanvin frames. Several attempts of bargaining and a couple of hesitant urges. I caved in for the best price offered for them. Great pair for the not so friendly face shape ! I can never find sunglasses that suit me. This pair indeed was indeed the opposite of what every functional pair of sunglasses convey. Anonymous? Mysterious? Unapproachable? In fact, the design of the frames reminded me of the 70's where fashion was sought after based of the sexuality of the person. The openness and the extreme flamboyant personality that you could be.

Time to wipe out the old equation and in with the new.

 

The usual situation :
Sunglasses = Never right = Problematic = Situation =  x Too big / Too small / Too Heavy / Too wide / Too Thin = Forget it



Sneaking in History : Lanvin made such beautiful clothes for her daughter Marie-Blanche that they began to attract the attention of a number of wealthy people who requested copies for their own children. Soon, Lanvin was making dresses for their mothers, and some of the most famous names in Europe were included in the clientele of her new boutique on the rue du Faubourg Saint-HonoréParis. 1909, Lanvin joined the Syndicat de la Couture, which marked her formal status as a couturière.
