Gas lighter glasses - collectible luxury eyewear from Qoins

Close inspection of these refined spectacles from Qoins Eyewear reveal old-style gas lighter-inspired details, particularly at the hinge, which bears an uncanny resemblance to a flint wheel. Incredible detail and classy acetate makes the QNO1006A will attract eyewear aficionados like a moth to a flame.

Who makes England football manager Fabio Capello's glasses?

I've been inundated with emails from people asking where to buy glasses like those worn by Fabio Capello.

They are by an Italian brand called ZeroRH+. He actually wears a couple of styles. The RH132 Andro, left but in black, are similar but not the same as those above.

While these left (RH136 Iter) are the more recent pair, which he wears in grey and in black, such as in this picture from Saturday's 1-1 draw between England and the USA.

So where can you buy glasses like these? Many opticians stock Zero RH+, find your nearest one here.

MDG - Madonna and Dolce & Gabbana's 2010 sunglasses collection



MDG sunglasses, a collaboration between Madonna and Dolce & Gabbana, seems to be well received.

My favourite is DG2087 (right), a metal with a sweeping browline.

Good one Madge - oh, and some credit must go to Domenico and Stefano.
