Mykita and Bernhard Willhelm SS2013 sunglass-visor hybrid

Visor or a sunglass? Well a bit both really, from Mykita and Bernhard Willhelm. This is Daisuké and it's made from Mykita's Mylon material. Note that the temples still fold and there's a nosepiece too. Available in gold, green and black from Mykita stores, selected opticians and concept shops. 

Sunglasses go bi for Mykita and Bernhard Willhelm

Mykita and Bernhard Willhelm continue to deliver the goods, this time in the shape of Rosi, available in bi-color (top). Also available in straight orange, white, matt black, blue, gold or silver, with mirrored lenses in the same colour.

Limited edition Mykita Franz for Japan

Mykita has only 89 (last count) of these amazing limited edition Franz sunglasses, created in collaboration with Bernhard Willhelm, remaining, which it is selling in aid of the Japanese Red Cross earthquake appeal. All proceeds except taxes go to the cause... available now, but not for long, at Mykita...

Forget make-up, just wear a pair of glasses: Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm's Violetta

Bernhard Willhelm and Mykita have created the Violetta using lens colouring to great effect. The frame at the front above features fine gold rims and teardrop-oval lenses, which have a subtle green glow in the upper half that turn to a rosé colour above the cheekbones.

In the second version, made of light stainless steel, the blue-to-cognac colour scheme is complemented by a matt-silver frame.

It's not the first time Mykita has had a brush with cosmetics - remember last year's nail varnish colab?

Mykita says 
the upper colour acts like a green or blue eye shadow, while the lower section emphasises the cheeks as rouge would.

Looks good to me!

SJP wears Jee Vice sunglasses in SATC2 too

Now Sex and the City 2 is not high up my list of must-see movies: a) because most sequels suck, b) because they're still filming it, and c) while I'm fully in touch with my feminine side, SATC2 is way too girlie for me.

That said, I hear tell that the clothing and accessories are of note.

I've felt the need to explain this for three reasons: a) when embarking on a glasses blog I did not envisage the celeb angle would be quite so unavoidable; b) I have already featured a SATC2 sunglasses post just t'other week, namely "SJP" wearing Mykita and Bernard Willhelm's Flash sunglasses, and I don't want people thinking this is a fansite; and c) I found a brand that hitherto I knew very little about, Jee Vice.

The very little I did know was that a designer formerly of sports eyewear brand Arnette now designed something less sporty and more cool - fashion cool, not surf cool.

That designer, I now know, Philippe Vergez, set up Jee Vice in 2003 and I was amazed that I didn't know more.

Look at the Jee Vice website to have a browse of the wide variety of great designs (I particularly like Dyslexia) or have a look right here at SJP and KC wearing Heated Orange Jubilee and Red Hot Deep Purple.

Sarah Jessica Parker wears Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm sunglasses in Sex and the City 2 movie

Yes, perhaps the hottest pair of sunglasses for 2010 (as featured here in an early Mykita eyewear sunglasses post) could well be the Flash aviators by Mykita and Bernard Willhelm.

This could have happened anyway but, now SJP is wearing them in one of the early scenes to be shot of the Sex and the City movie sequel, it's looking a bit of a certainty...

Mykita and Bernard Willhelm - round sunglasses

Mykita is a very special German brand of specs that started in 2004 - if you don't know them, hop over to their site and learn. in my opinion they've created not one but two of the best hinge designs ever known to glasses. With oodles of style too... you'll come to see a lot of them on this site.
