The new Spring Summer 2008 collection from ultra-stylish British label Linda Farrow Vintage features a selection of chic eyewear by impressive designers including Bernhard Willhelm, Jeremy Scott and Raf Simons.
Linda Farrow Vintage was re-launched in 2003 by Simon Jablon, the son of the 70's designer Linda, after discovering a generous stash of 70's and 80's sunglasses in the family's warehouse. Over 2000 different designs, all in pristine condition and ranging from a single piece to 500 per style were painstakingly catalogued. Jablon began selling this unique back-catalogue to exclusive retailers world-wide and the Linda Farrow Vintage brand quickly established a reputation for originality and flair.
This season, six new styles are now available online at Colette.
Linda Farrow Vintage recently collaborated with Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony - Spring Summer 2008.
