Cutler and Gross: a night at the Museum


Cutler and Gross is a favourite of Eye Wear Glasses', making us weak at the knees whenever we find another fantastic frame. So imagine our reaction when we're lucky enough to have a sneak preview of The Museum, the new upstairs at its flagship store in Knightsbridge, London! The display above shows only a few of the 4,000 glasses in the room, which date all the way back to 1969. And you don't have to ask where the mirror is in the bespoke service room (left) where clients – by appointment only – can choose their amazing handmade frame.

Not available? Cutler and Gross will create it in its own factory in Italy. How's that for service? Patrons Sarah and Ron, below, know good service when they see it through their amazing glasses... and, below them, the return of some shaky EWG video...

Kirk Originals opens its doors on Conduit Street with music from David McAlmont



Any week where a new glasses shop opens in London is a good week. So when Kirk Originals' new flagship store officially opened its doors on Conduit Street on Thursday, and revealed the full majesty of its "projections", the incredible spec display you see above, the week entered hitherto unchartered highs - I've never seen a glasses shop as cool as this.

Kirk Originals parties are always a laugh and a good chance to find some spectacular people. EWG even had the pleasure of meeting David McAlmont and Guy Davies (performing below) and designer Karen Kirk (right wearing a frame from the Kirk Originals Kinetic collection).

More pictures from the launch party here from Kirk Originals, but first a video...





And here's the shop when empty...
