Lindberg

Lindberg is one of those eyewear companies that its work speaks on its own. A true pioneer,
the Danish eyewear label enjoys a reputation for clear, minimalistic designs, true to the tradition of universally cherished Danish design. Both on prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses, each frame is a statement about aesthetics, technical innovation and impeccable craftsmanship, where classic lines and high fashion meets the handmade quality for which Lindberg is known.

What I mostly love about Lindberg is that there’s no mass produced take-it-or-leave-it design. Instead, one can choose the design, the materials and the details one prefers. Each Lindberg frame is individually crafted, customised to one’s particular preferences, hand-finished and individually numbered. They can even have your name discretely written on the inner arm of your pair!

To celebrated its 20-year collaboration with Optical Papadiamantopoulos stores in Greece, a premium Lindberg corner has been especially constructed for the store at Kifissia, where a vast variety of its collection for women, men and kids -you will LOVE those, I promise you- is waiting all design junkies for a sur mesure experience.

Beauty packing for me & him for a long weekend getaway, with just the essentials.
Biotherm Homme “Aquapower” face cream and Eye De-Puffer do the job for hubbie, who can use up to two-three products per day -men are bored so easily that it’s better to keep their beauty routine to minimum.
As for me, I try (hard, it is hard) to pack just the necessary, so here it goes:

Biotherm Aquasource keeps my face skin hydrated for 48 hours, so I don’t really need to take a night cream with me. Luminessence is one of the best products of Giorgio Armani in my humble opinion, a BB cream with SPF 50/PA+++ that lightly covers the skin and leaves it literally glowing. I also use it under the eyes as a brightening concealer, I love it.
Red lips, as always. Dolce & Gabbana “Dora” 5210 lipstick. When I don’t feel like wearing lip colour, Collagenist Re-Plump Lip Zoom by Helena Rubinstein is my alternative, which offers instant plumpness. Anti-drying body milk by Biotherm. And the latest addition to Moroccanoil family and to my beauty case, the Dry Shampoo for a soft, silky feel that can -wait for it- even absorb the salt and moist after the sea. The best dry shampoo in the market.

New Shades

Eyewear. Some of the most fashion forward brands currently, are gathered in a very important eyewear company, Safilo Group, that invited us yesterday to see all the new Summer 2013 collections of fashion houses like Dior, Celine, Bottega Veneta, Yves-Saint Laurent, Gucci and Marc Jacobs. I tried on dozens of sunglasses but -given that I’ve grown a small obsession the past few years- Celine were two steps ahead of them all.

for your eyes

i took a look at next season’s sunglasses and my favorite trend -coming from last year- is the round lenses, classic 90’s or with a 2011 twist. not too big, neither too small. love them. but if your a cat-eye-sunglasses girl, guess what, they’re here once again, wear them like there’s no tomorrow. Persol and Rayban’s re-editions of basic older models are presented below. put aside for a while your Wayfarers.

Grounded by their  creative approach on thoughts and vision yet complementary in their aesthetics and expertise, Maison Martin Margiela and Cutler and Gross group reveal their first collection based on irreverential design and hand-made quality.

‘wrong size’ – a geometric play on lenses seemingly ill-fitting the frame.

Line : Line 8 ‘Eyewear collection’
Reference 1 : ‘wrong size’
Reference 2 : ‘anatomic’
Materials : black or dark turtle acetate, silver or gold  Monel
Design/Art Direction : Maison Martin Margiela, Paris
