Elvis Costello wears some very good glasses but who are they by?

It's been a while since I've done a "unidentified" post, partly because I'm always a bit anxious it will make me look a bit silly and people will tut, sigh, shake their head and think "this Eye Wear Glasses man doesn't know his temple tip from his nosepad".

I've a few ideas but thought I'd open it up to the peepers peeps.. any ideas? - comment below

Mark emailed me because he wants to buy the same glasses as eyecon Elvis Costello.

Am going to the dentist tomorrow for root canal work! (And I would rather be anywhere else but here...)

Elly Jackson from La Roux has lost her supercool glasses! :(

Naudwuar alerted me to this interview with Elly Jackson from La Roux, the subject of my previous post about her eyecon status...

Is La Roux's Elly Jackson a new eyewear icon?

La Roux's Elly Jackson in sunglasses, Elly Jackson in glasses, Elly Jackson in more sunglasses. And not just I'm a celebrity, I'm gonna wear shades to hide from fans and photographers. No, proper eyewear style.

Elly Jackson is one half of 1980s-inspired electro-popsters La Roux (about the only thing not by Michael Jackson in the top of the charts).

And I've found a fair few pics of her wearing some incredible eyewear. Am trying to find out what they are. Here are a few links.

Elly wears 1980s round sunglasses in this photo shoot - watch video to get best look

Scroll down a bit more to see an interview with her in the glasses shown right.




She's even managed to make rust-tinted lenses look cool in this video!

Do you know who any of these frames are by?
