Spotlight On: Linda Farrow Sun-G's

Linda Farrow sunglasses are a bit new to me, having first seen a pair a couple of months ago when I was browsing through accessories on ASOS.com and discovered Roisin Murphy's collaboration with Linda Farrow as part of the Projects collection. Since then, I see them everywhere in magazines and all over the Internet. In short; I like them a lot. Linda Farrow has two collections that feature collaborations with guest designers and celebrities. In the Projects collection, Linda Farrow collaborates with emerging designers and fashion forward celebs to develop their talent. In the Collaborations collection, Linda Farrow works in conjunction with already established leading designers to produce eyewear for their collections.

Here are some examples of the sunglasses made during these partnerships:



1. Alexander Wang by Linda Farrow, $314.28. 2. Dries Van Noten by Linda Farrow, $314.28. 3. Eley Kishimoto by Linda Farrow $314.28. 4. Linda Farrow Projects House of Holland, $215.34. 5.Linda Farrow Projects Jeremy Scott, $424.86. 6.Luxe by Linda Farrow, $525.74. 7. Matthew Williamson by Linda Farrow $339.50. 8. Veronique Branquinho, 339.50. 9. Raf Simons by Linda Farrow, $339.50. 10. Linda Farrow Projects Roisin Murphy, $620.80. 11. The Row by Linda Farrow, 314.28. 12. Linda Farrow Projects Todd Lynn, $339.50

I think my favourites are still the Linda Farrow Projects Roisin Murphy sunglasses. I love the half moon frames, and they are 24k gold (fancy!). Obviously the Alexander Wang sunglasses and the House of Holland frame less lens sunglasses are pretty special too. The kitschest frames however, are without a doubt made by Jeremy Scott. These Dwayne Wayne-esq Mickey Mouse shades worn by GaGa are just the tip of the bizarre iceberg. Sunglasses by Scott include frames that look like bones and old-fashioned televisions. Speaking of Lady GaGa, rumour has it she will be creating her own line of sunglasses as part of the Linda Farrow Projects collection. Keep an eye out!
