Outlandish, Tacky Frames???

[kaypaula]

HI all,
I have a patient who just loves, Elton John-ESQ, outlandish, tacky, animal print, large, heavy, expensive well made frames ;) She has several very OLD ones, three of which are animal print designs from the 80's or older. One looked like an old Dior, though not as classy as I remember Dior being. I told her I might be able to turn her on to some websites or vendors, to look at some cataloges online. Any ideas?

Here's my article on Undostrial frames. My wife and I actually traveled to Paris while on our honeymoon and checked out their factory. They are truly hand-made in Paris.

Prodesign has a lot of frames available in 8-13 colors. Some colors are classy, some are completely outlandish. Their entire catalog is viewable on their website.

[kaypaula]

Wow. Thanks for all the links and info. She'll be tickled. And then come to me to put flat tops in them ;)

What are Undostrial frames?

[aboss3]

They are a Paris-based eyewear company. I think they're at VisionExpo West in Vegas right now. Highly recommended for quality and craftsmanship.

When you said "tacky" I thought of this gem...

When you said "tacky" I thought of this gem...

That is wild.....and reminds me of the Plaza line from Neostyle, they were made of pexi.

[Judy Canty]

Hey now! I actually sold a couple of them.

You also might try http://ovvooptics.com/corrective-5.html (wear these and get compliments) and they have some really wild one. Alain Mikli has wild eyewear and Elton John has worn their frames, along with Oliver Goldsmith, LaFont, Neostyle, Silhouette,Cazal, Anglo American, I think he has some Linda Farrow and of custom.
