May 3, 2007 – Have models suddenly become myopic, or are glasses the new accessory du jour? Yigal Azrouël opened the season with bespectacled lovelies in luxe boy-for-girl basics. "Our focus was on smart, sexy women," says stylist Kate Young—who's not averse to donning a pair of oversize frames herself. "Glasses are a very covered-up way of saying something provocative." Newcomer Chris Benz had style rather than sex on his mind. He used specs to achieve a "nerdy/art school/'mess-thete' " vibe that had the crowd at his first-ever show looking twice.

i like glasses, they give so much punch & personality for such a small item.

monkeypeekle · 29-05-2007

the Marc by Marc Jacobs remind me of Harry Potter...haha

i like the big geek ones...but i'd feel stupid wearing glasses when i don't need to!

markie · 29-05-2007

I like glasses if the people wearing them actually need them. Just wearing glasses for the hell of it is tacky.

I've been wanting a clear/quartz plastic framed pair for a while for myself.

McGovLau · 29-05-2007

Lol I can rest assure the world that I require glasses

I'm blind as a bat without them.

masquerade · 29-05-2007

Even though this is a bit of a pointless accessory, these Beckerman's are very cute:

I agree it's such a personal item. . .

I wish I needed glasses. I remember being 12 or something and wearing some because I thought they were cool. Now I feel silly wearing them when I don't need them.

I love the geeky ones and the Marc by. .

i wear glasses when i'm not wearing my contacts. i find it is a difficult item to work into my wardrobe. i seem to veer off into a different style than usual when i choose my frames. i had some secretary-ish ones for a while. then sort of minimal non-existent oval wireframes. and now i am at a loss as to what to get.

hey markie, i've been looking for some clear plastic frames too, who makes them, were they expelsive and do you love them? sorry for my many questions!

Hands up, I'm tacky! I have been wearing glasses even though I have perfect vision! In my defense however, I started doing it about 11 years ago when I was in my early 20's, discovering heavy rimmed ones hide dark circles beautifully, so they have been in my 'beauty' armory ever since. And I also think people look lovely in glasses and shouldn't see them as ugly or embarrassing and I think they should be made a feature.

I don't have any clear frames yet (still looking around for the perfect pair) but I've seen Marc Jacobs has some available in quartz, like this:
