One year on: Top 10 most-read Eye Wear Glasses posts

Happy birthday to Eye Wear Glasses, which turns one today. We kick off the week with a list of the 10 most-read posts of the past 12 months. They're not necessarily the best that we've featured, and celebrities take more than their fair share of the speccy limelight, but they are what you, collectively, looked at most:

Michelin-starred chef Heston Blumenthal's wears bespoked Bugatti glasses...

Two celebrity actor/actor-musicians clearly pull in more hits than one celeb chef.

It's Shirley Manson and Elijah Wood in Oliver Peoples' 2010 ad campaign...

Is La Roux's Elly Jackson a new eyewear icon? Probably, yes, a little.

Well at this rate I can't see this list being anything but celebs. Here we have Usher. Wearing Carreras...

Phew, people are interested in EWG for the eyewear, not just for random celebs who occasional wear it.

Here is Christina Centenera, who looks like she might be a celeb but is actually a fashion editor, wearing Super Flat Top sunglasses...

Heston Blumenthal's glasses by Bugatti in spotlight with Waitrose campaign

UK supermarket Waitrose has begun a huge marketing drive featuring Michelin-starred chef Heston Blumenthal, above, and the UK's favourite cook Delia Smith. TV ads, billboards and print ads for Heston Blumenthal and Delia Smith's recipe for great food have once again got people asking where they can buy the chef's specs. I've been inundated with emails, well two.

The glasses are by Bugatti, but it's not that simple. They're not easy to come by. Optician Michel Guillon's boutique, just off the Kings Road in London, offers exclusive Bugatti designs. Spectacles Blog says they're model number MG005, and that they're customised by Michel Guillon. Can you still get them? I'm not sure. Certainly, Guillon still stocks Bugatti models with "MG" product codes; his website features MG001 to MG008, except there's no MG005. :(

Fear not though, Bugatti has hundreds of great designs many of which incorporate some of Heston's glasses' features.

UPDATE, 27 May 2011
Heston has changed his glasses! He is now wearing a pair of Kirk Originals...
