Although the clothes showcased in the Clare Lopeman AW10 collection are to die for, I was taken by the [mad scientist glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culture-refined). Don't get me wrong, I won't wear them, but I think they're absolutely fabulous.

The Clare Lopeman AW10 line was inspired by "a classic Soviet dressmaking book '100 Dresses' which reflect French 50s couture silhouettes and shapes," according to Style Bubble. The frames themselves were modeled after a pair of [Soviet-era testing glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection). With [structured cuts and geometric patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-1), this CSM BA grad will definitely be making a name for herself.
