Rihanna's been wearing these great Christian Roth 14246 Power Chic vintage sunglasses of late.
So can a quick look around some of the best vintage sunglass websites unveil a secret supply?
No, sorry, I think Rihanna must have got the last pair... Who knows? Someone will comment with a pair available - one day.

Another highlight fromlast month's Silmo show was Erlik, a Canadian brand started by Alex Masse.

These patented rubber hinges are amazing - a bit like the bendy bit of a bendy bus.
The hinge makes Erlik shades extremely robust and ideal for sport, but clearly the styling pretty switch on too.

Get me with m'jaunty angles!
Orgreen really are bloody good. All the metal is beta-titanium (really strong and really light), it's all handmade in Japan.
And the designs have balls. One sunglass has the skyline of Copenhagan cut into the temple.
Finally below, Henrik makes me think about photoshopping his right arm to line up with those giant frames he stuck through the Eye Company's window.
