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](http://www.colette.fr). Linda Farrow Vintage recently collaborated with [Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sevigny-opening-ceremony) - Spring Summer 2008.
